---|---|---|
1 | \(\Delta x_1 = v \cdot t\) | Calculate the displacement during the first 1 second. The body moves at a constant speed \(v = 24 \, \text{m/s}\). |
2 | \(\Delta x_1 = 24 \, \text{m/s} \times 1 \, \text{s} = 24 \, \text{m}\) | Substitute \(v = 24 \, \text{m/s}\) and \(t = 1 \, \text{s}\). |
3 | \(v_i = 24 \, \text{m/s}\) | The body continues with initial velocity \(24 \, \text{m/s}\) at \(t = 1 \, \text{s}\), just before deceleration starts. |
4 | \(v_x = v_i + a \cdot \Delta t\) | Calculate the final velocity after 10 seconds of acceleration in the negative \(x\) direction. The acceleration \(a = -6 \, \text{m/s}^2\). |
5 | \(v_x = 24 \, \text{m/s} + (-6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 10 \, \text{s}) = 24 \, \text{m/s} – 60 \, \text{m/s} = -36 \, \text{m/s}\) | Substitute \(v_i = 24 \, \text{m/s}\), \(a = -6 \, \text{m/s}^2\), and \(\Delta t = 10 \, \text{s}\). |
6 | \(\Delta x_2 = v_i \cdot \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} a \cdot \Delta t^2\) | Calculate the displacement during the 10-second interval of deceleration. |
7 | \(\Delta x_2 = 24 \, \text{m/s} \cdot 10 \, \text{s} + \frac{1}{2} (-6 \, \text{m/s}^2) \cdot (10 \, \text{s})^2\) | Substitute \(v_i = 24 \, \text{m/s}\), \(a = -6 \, \text{m/s}^2\), and \(\Delta t = 10 \, \text{s}\). |
8 | \(\Delta x_2 = 240 \, \text{m} – 300 \, \text{m} = -60 \, \text{m}\) | Simplify the equation to find the displacement during the deceleration period. |
9 | \Delta x = \Delta x_1 + \Delta x_2 | Total displacement is the sum of displacements during different time periods. |
10 | \(\Delta x = 24 \, \text{m} + (-60 \, \text{m}) = -36 \, \text{m}\) | Substitute \(\Delta x_1 = 24 \, \text{m}\) and \(\Delta x_2 = -60 \, \text{m}\). Therefore, the position of the body at \(t = 11 \, \text{seconds}\) is \(\boxed{-36 \, \text{m}}\). |
The correct answer is (c) \(- 36 \, \text{m}\).
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
An object undergoes constant acceleration. Starting from rest, the object travels \( 5 \, \text{m} \) in the first second. Then it travels \( 15 \, \text{m} \) in the next second. What total distance will be covered after the 3rd second?
An object’s velocity \(v\) as a function of time \(t\) is given in the graph. Which of the following statements is true about the motion of the object?
A 10kg box is pushed to the right by an unknown force at an angle of 25° below the horizontal while a friction force of 50 N acts on the box as well. The box accelerates from rest and travels a distance of 4 m where it is moving at 3 m/s. Solve the following without the use of energy.
The displacement x of an object moving in one dimension is shown above as a function of time t. The velocity of this object must be

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]
