Potential energy is energy stored in an object. kinetic energy is energy of motion
Answer:
it moves 25 inches.
Explanation:
the east west bit isn't important, ignore it. if an ant starts at 6 then moves to 19 then we need to subtract 19 from 6, that's 13. then it moves to 7. the difference between 19 and 7 is 12. add that to 13 and you get 25. it's important to remember that there is no such thing as negative distance. if it moved, then it counts.
Answer:
6.75 seconds
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration = 16 m/s²
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Let y be the distance the rocket is accelerating
960-y is the distance traveled in free fall
In free fall
The distance the rocket will keep accelerating is 364.881828749 m
After which it will travel 960-364.881828749 = 595.118171251 m in free fall
The time the rocket is accelerating is 6.75 seconds
