5

A motorcycle accelerates at 4.0m/s2 for 6 seconds. If the motorcycle started at rest, find the velocity at the end of 6 seconds.

V= V+at

V= 24m/s

5

A rock is thrown horizontally off a 100 m cliff. It lands 95m away. At what speed was it thrown?

vertical motion:V0= 0 ; a= 9.8m/s2 ; y0=0;y= 100m

y= y+V0t +1/2 at

y= 1/2at2      ;    t= 4.52s

Horizontal motion: X0=0 ;V0= 0 ; a=0 x= 95m

x= x+V0t +1/2 at

x=V0t

x= x=V0t +1/2 at2

V0= x/t       V= 21m/s
