An object is thrown upward with a speed of 25ms-1. How high will it be when the speed is 12ms-1?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Which equation will allow the problem to be solved in a single calculation?
Solution:
The speed at the moment of time will be .
The speed at the height "S" will be . We don't know in which moment of time will it be.
A)
We cannot use this equation, because we don't know the time «t».
B)
The same situation: we cannot use this equation, because we don't know the time «t»
C)
The same.
D)
We know all values in this equation. So we can use it for finding «S».
Answer:
Equation «D» will allow the problem to be solved in a single calculation.
