An object moves in one dimensional motion with constant acceleration a = 4.5 m/s².
At time t = 0 s, the object is at xo = 2.9 m and has an initial velocity of vo = 4 m/s.
How far will the object move before it achieves a velocity of v = 7 m/s?
Your answer should be accurate to the nearest 0.1 m.
Two children are playing on a 151-m-tall bridge. One child drops a rock (initial velocity zero) at t = 0. The other waits 1.1 s and then throws a rock
downward with an initial speed Vo. If the two rocks hit the ground at the same time, what is vo?

She starts with a velocity of 4.0 m/s, and her takeoff point is 1.1 m above the pool. Which of these two valid methods is the easiest to find how long her feet are in the air? Group of answer choices Break the problem in two parts. For part 1, find the time to reach her highest point by using v0 = 4 m/s, a = -9.8 m/s2, and vf = 0 m/s. For part 2, you can use the highest point above the board found in the previous problem and add it to her height above the pool. Then, using v0 = 0 m/s and a = -9.8 m/s2, you can find the time to reach the ground. Since you only care about the end points in this case, you can use v0 = 4 m/s, a = -9.8 m/s2, and Δy = -1.1 m to find the time to reach the ground.arrow_forwardA particle moves along the x axis beginning at x = −2 m at time zero.
