- An object with an initial speed of 12 m / s in the west direction is subjected to a constant acceleration of 4 m / s2 in the west direction for 3 s. During this time, the object travels a distance of: a) 144 m b) 24 m c) 18 m d) 54 m e) 36 marrow_forwardTo pass a physical fitness test, Massimo must run 1000 m at an average rate of 4.00 m/s. He runs the first 900 m in 250 s. In how much time must he run the last 100 m to pass the test?arrow_forwardApproximately how long does it take for an object thrown straight upward with a velocity of 50 m/s, to reach the peak of its path? 1 s 2 s 3 s 4 s none of thesearrow_forward

Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2. 520 g s 260 g s 5,098 g s 2,549 g sarrow_forwardA whale swims due east for a distance of 8.0 km in a time of 2.50 h. It then turns around and moves west for 2.0 km in a time of 0.50 h. It turns around again and heads 4.0 km due east in a time of 1.00 h. What is the total distance travelled by the whale. What is the total displacement? What is the average speed for the entire trip? What is the average velocity for the entire trip? There are five quantities discussed in this question: distance, displacement, time, speed, and velocity. Which of these are scalars and which are vectors?arrow_forward
