An elevator starts from rest and moves upward, accelerating at a rate of 1.2 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 7.8 m/s, which it then maintains. Two seconds after the elevator begins to move, a man standing 12 m above the initial position of the top of the elevator throws a ball upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. Determine when the ball will hit the elevator.
A distance of 90 meters separates two jetskis at Virginia Beach. Starting at rest, the jetskis accelerate at a constant rate of 0.7 m/s² towards each other.
Starting at a midpoint between the two jetskis, a porpoise is seen swimming from one jetski to the other at a constant speed of 18 m/s. The porpoise continues swimming back and forth between the jetskis until they crash
together.
What is the total distance the porpoise travelled?
158.7
You are given the initial velocity Vo, acceleration a and the distance Ay. You have the speed of the porpoise, so you are looking for time. Use the equation that corresponds to these variables.
