My question isn't how to solve the problem exactly. In fact, it's already been solved on this website. My question is about the acceleration. When I solve this problem myself, first I calculate the velocity by dividing 100m by 53s. I get 1.89m/s. Then I use that to find the acceleration using the equation vf = vi + at. That's 1.89/53 = 0.036m/s^2.
That's not correct. The correct way to find the acceleration is to us the equation d = 1/2 at^2 and solve that way without taking the intermediate step of finding the velocity. Doing it that way, the acceleration is 0.0712m/s^2.
My question is why you get a different result doing it the first way than you get doing it the second way.
We are standing on the top of a 1040 feet tall building and launch a small object upward. The object's
height, measured in feet, after t seconds is h(t) =
16t? + 128t + 1040.
A) What is the object initial velocity?
ft/second
B) What is the highest point that the object reaches?
feet
Please assist with this question with details on how to do it. Thank you.
Mayan kings and many school sports team are named for the puma, cougar, or mountain lion - felis concolor- the best jumper among animals. It can jump to a height of 12 ft when leaving the ground at an angle of 45 degrees. With the speed , in SI units, does it leave the ground to make this leap?
