| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \( v_i = 0 \, \text{m/s} \) | The car starts from rest, so the initial velocity is zero. |
| 2 | \( a_1 = 4.3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) | The car accelerates with an acceleration of \(4.3 \, \text{m/s}^2\). |
| 3 | \( t_1 = 6.8 \, \text{s} \) | The car accelerates for a time of \(6.8 \, \text{s}\). |
| 4 | \( v_x = v_i + a_1 t_1 \) | Use the formula for final velocity after a time interval, where \( v_i \) is the initial velocity, \( a_1 \) is the acceleration, and \( t_1 \) is the time. |
| 5 | \( v_x = 0 + (4.3 \, \text{m/s}^2)(6.8 \, \text{s}) \) | Plug in the values for the initial velocity, acceleration, and time. |
| 6 | \( v_x = 29.24 \, \text{m/s} \) | Calculate the final velocity after the acceleration phase. |
| 7 | \( d_1 = v_i t_1 + \frac{1}{2} a_1 t_1^2 \) | Use the formula for distance traveled during the acceleration phase, where \( v_i \) is the initial velocity, \( a_1 \) is the acceleration, and \( t_1 \) is the time. |
| 8 | \( d_1 = 0 \cdot 6.8 + \frac{1}{2} (4.3) (6.8)^2 \) | Set initial velocity term to zero and plug in the values for acceleration and time. |
| 9 | \( d_1 = 99.292 \, \text{m} \) | Calculate the distance traveled during the acceleration phase. |
| 10 | \( a_2 = -5.1 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) | The car decelerates with an acceleration of \( -5.1 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (since the car is slowing down). |
| 11 | \( v_{x2} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \) | Final velocity when the car comes to rest again. |
| 12 | \( v_x^2 = v_i^2 + 2 a_2 \Delta x_2 \) | Use the kinematic equation relating initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and distance traveled. |
| 13 | \( 0 = (29.24)^2 + 2(-5.1) \Delta x_2 \) | Plug in the values for initial velocity during deceleration, final velocity, and acceleration. |
| 14 | \( 0 = 855.2976 – 10.2 \Delta x_2 \) | Calculate the term \( (29.24)^2 \) and simplify the equation. |
| 15 | \( \Delta x_2 = \frac{855.2976}{10.2} \) | Rearrange the equation to solve for the distance traveled during deceleration \( \Delta x_2 \). |
| 16 | \( \Delta x_2 = 83.95 \, \text{m} \) | Calculate the distance traveled during the deceleration phase. |
| 17 | \( d_{\text{total}} = d_1 + \Delta x_2 \) | Sum the distances traveled during the acceleration phase and deceleration phase to find the total distance. |
| 18 | \( d_{\text{total}} = 99.292 + 83.95 \) | Plug in the values for the distances calculated in both phases. |
| 19 | \( d_{\text{total}} = 183.242 \, \text{m} \) | Calculate the total distance traveled by the car and box the final answer. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
You throw a rock straight up with an initial velocity of \( 5.0 \, \text{m/s} \).
The graph above shows velocity \( v \) versus time \( t \) for an object in linear motion. Which of the following is a possible graph of position \( x \) versus time \( t \) for this object?
A 1000 kg car is traveling east at 20m/s when it collides perfectly inelastically with a northbound 2000 kg car traveling at 15m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.9, how far, and at what angle do the two cars skid before coming to a stop?
A rubber ball bounces on the ground. After each bounce, the ball reaches one-half the height of the bounce before it. If the time the ball was in the air between the first and second bounce was 1 second. What would be the time between the second and third bounce?
A rock is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of \( 20 \, \text{m/s} \) from the edge of a bridge \( 42 \, \text{m} \) above a river.
\(183.24 \,\text{m}\)

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
