Assume the acceleration of the object is a(t) = −32 feet per second per second. (Neglect air resistance.) A balloon, rising vertically with a velocity of 16 feet per second, releases a sandbag at the instant when the balloon is 32 feet above the ground.
(a) How many seconds after its release will the bag strike the ground? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(b) At what velocity will it strike the ground? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
A car accelerates at 4 m/s2 for 3 seconds. The direction of its acceleration is due west. If its initial velocity was 45 m/s, due east, and its initial position is zero, what is its final position? Round your answer to the nearest meter. Choose positive direction east.
The car moves on a very long straight highway at an initial velocity of 2.0m/s when it started to accelerate at a rate of 1.5m/s2. When the car reaches a diplacement of 1km, it started to decelerate at constant rate until it stop.
A. What is the car's final velocity (assumed that the car directs in a constant direction) before it started to decelerate (slow down)?*Please explain also*
