Answer: The object moves forward at 5 m/s, stops, and then changes velocity.
Explanation:
With the information given in the question we can graph the points (image attached).
As we can observe, in the first segment of the graph the velocity is increasing linearly (at a constant rate) and is 5 m/s, then in the second segment we can see the position of the object remains the same from second 2 to second 4, which means the object is stopped.
Finally, in the third and last segment, we can observe a change in velocity (at a negative constant rate, because is decreasing), which is decreasing until the object stops.
Answer:
d = 4.9 m
Explanation:
It is mentioned that a stone is dropped from a certain height. It is required to find the distance covered by it in one second.
The initial speed of the stone is equal to 0 as it was at rest. Let d is the distance covered by the stone.
Using second equation of motion :
Put u = 0 and a = g
So, the distance covered by it in one second is 4.9 m.
