# Part (a): Time Required for Speed Increase
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]a = 20.0 \, \text{m/s}^2[/katex] | Given acceleration. |
| 2 | [katex]v_i = 7.0 \times 10^3 \, \text{m/s}[/katex] | Initial velocity of the spacecraft. |
| 3 | [katex]v_f = 8.0 \times 10^3 \, \text{m/s}[/katex] | Final velocity of the spacecraft. |
| 4 | [katex]v_f = v_i + at[/katex] | Kinematic equation to relate velocity, acceleration, and time. |
| 5 | [katex]t = \frac{v_f – v_i}{a}[/katex] | Solve for time [katex]t[/katex]. |
| 6 | [katex]t = \frac{8.0 \times 10^3 \, \text{m/s} – 7.0 \times 10^3 \, \text{m/s}}{20.0 \, \text{m/s}^2}[/katex] | Substitute the given values into the time formula. |
| 7 | [katex]t = 50 \, \text{s}[/katex] | Calculate the time. Boxed this value. |
# Part (b): Distance Traveled During This Time
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} at^2[/katex] | Kinematic equation to find the distance traveled. |
| 2 | [katex]t = 50 \, \text{s}[/katex] | Use the previously calculated time. |
| 3 | [katex]d = (7.0 \times 10^3 \, \text{m/s})(50 \, \text{s}) + \frac{1}{2} (20.0 \, \text{m/s}^2)(50 \, \text{s})^2[/katex] | Substitute the values into the distance formula. |
| 4 | [katex]d = 3.50 \times 10^5 \, \text{m} + \frac{1}{2} (20.0 \, \text{m/s}^2)(2500 \, \text{s}^2)[/katex] | Simplify the terms inside the equation. |
| 5 | [katex]d = 3.50 \times 10^5 \, \text{m} + 2.50 \times 10^4 \, \text{m}[/katex] | Calculate the distance due to each term. |
| 6 | [katex]d = 3.75 \times 10^5 \, \text{m}[/katex] | Add the distances for the total distance traveled. Boxed this value. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A \(30 \, \text{g}\) bullet is fired with a speed of \(500 \, \text{m/s}\) into a wall.
In which of the following is the rate of change of the particle’s momentum zero?
A body moving in the positive \( x \) direction passes the origin at time \( t = 0 \). Between \( t = 0 \) and \( t = 1 \, \text{second} \), the body has a constant speed of \( 24 \, \text{m/s} \). At \( t = 1 \, \text{second} \), the body is given a constant acceleration of \( 6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) in the negative \( x \) direction. The position \( x \) of the body at \( t = 11 \, \text{seconds} \) is
The graph in the figure shows the position of a particle as it travels along the x-axis. At what value of \(t\) is the speed of the particle equal to \(0 \, \text{m/s}\)?
note that the slope of position vs time is velocity. And the graph most closely reemsbles a flat or 0 slope at 3 seconds
A car decelerates from \( 25 \, \text{m/s} \) to \( 5 \, \text{m/s} \) at \( 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). How far does the car travel during this deceleration?
* Part (a): The time required for the speed increase is [katex] \boxed{50 \, \text{s}} [/katex].
* Part (b): The spacecraft travels [katex] \boxed{3.75 \times 10^5 \, \text{m}} [/katex] during this time.

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]
