The car's speed was zero at the beginning of the 12 seconds,
and 18 m/s at the end of it. Since the acceleration was 'uniform'
during that time, the car's average speed was (1/2)(0 + 18) = 9 m/s.
12 seconds at an average speed of 9 m/s ==> (12 x 9) = 108 meters .
==========================================
That's the way I like to brain it out. If you prefer to use the formula,
the first problem you run into is: You need to remember the formula !
The formula is D = 1/2 a T²
Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (time in seconds)²
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
= (18 m/s) / (12 sec)
= 1.5 m/s² .
Distance = (1/2 x 1.5 m/s²) x (12 sec)²
= (0.75 m/s²) x (144 sec²) = 108 meters .
The contact force is indeed caused by "Contact".
Air resistance is basically a type of friction, which is apparently present providing two object contact.
The rest selections are all interaction force, which is not necessarily caused by contact.
Hope this answers your question!! Ask any help at anytime
The hardest part of the job is to find the right formula to use, and write it down. You've already done that ! The rest is just turning the crank until an answer falls out.
You wrote. E = m g h.
Beautiful.
Now divide each side by (g h), and you'll have the formula for mass:
m = E / (g h).
You know all the numbers on the right side. Just pluggum in, do the arithmetic, and you'll have the mass.
What are the options u can't say that and expect me to know wat u talkin bout
