Answer:
8 seconds
160 meters
Explanation:
Given in the y direction:
Īy = 0 m
vā = 40 m/s
a = -10 m/s²
Find: t
Īy = vā t + ½ at²
0 m = (40 m/s) t + ½ (-10 m/s²) t²
0 = 40t ā 5t²
0 = 5t (8 ā t)
t = 0 or 8
Given in the x direction:
vā = 20 m/s
a = 0 m/s²
t = 8 s
Find: Īx
Īx = vā t + ½ at²
Īx = (20 m/s) (8 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (8 s)²
Īx = 160 m
