1) s = ut + 1/2at^2
u = 0 (initial velocity being 0)
t = 5 (given)
a = -9.8 (gravitational acceleration)
s = 0--4.9(25)
s = -122.5
Therefore 150 - 122.5 = 27.5m
then v = u + at
v = 0 - 9.8(5)
v = -49m/s
2) 1st Stone...
A particle is brought to top speed with an acceleration which varies linearly as the distance travelled. It starts from rest with an acceleration of 3ms^-2 and reaches top speed in a distance of 160 metres.
Find:
(a) the top speed,
(b) the speed when the particle has moved 80 metres...
