Answer:
8 seconds
160 meters
Explanation:
Given in the y direction:
Δy = 0 m
v₀ = 40 m/s
a = -10 m/s²
Find: t
Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²
0 m = (40 m/s) t + ½ (-10 m/s²) t²
0 = 40t − 5t²
0 = 5t (8 − t)
t = 0 or 8
Given in the x direction:
v₀ = 20 m/s
a = 0 m/s²
t = 8 s
Find: Δx
Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²
Δx = (20 m/s) (8 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (8 s)²
Δx = 160 m
