Question
The two vectors shown in the figure represent the initial
velocity vj and final velocity üf of an object during a trip that
took 6.0 s. The magnitude of &; is 24 m/s and the angle 0;
between ij and the -x-axis is 45°. The magnitude of üf is
to
11 m/s and the angle Of between üf and the +x-axis is 15°.
Calculate the magnitude of the average acceleration aaverage
during this trip.
m/s?
daverage =
Is it possible to determine whether the acceleration was
uniform from the information given in the problem?
Yes, because the acceleration is equal to the change
in velocity divided by the change in time.
O No, because an intermediate velocity is needed to
determine whether the acceleration is uniform.
No, because there is not enough information to
determine the acceleration at every instant during the
time interval.
O Yes, because the acceleration always points in the
same direction according to the figure.
