Answer the entire problem set by using kinematic equations. Your answers must be rounded off to two decimal places. If the numerical answer exceeds 1000, do not use a comma as for 1,000.
An airplane accelerates down a runway at 4.50 m/s2 for 45.6 s until it finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.
Solve problems of motion in one dimension.
Please answer the following question(s):
1. The speed of a boat in still water is vá. A river flows with a speed of v₁. The boat travels
distance of 19 miles downstream in a river in 1 hour. However, the return journey takes 2
hours. Calculate the vand v₁.
Hint: Velocity=displacement/time. Displacement can be positive of neagtive depending on the
direction. You will first need to set up the equations by taking into account the resultant
velocity of the boat in flowing water. Consider the direction the river is flowing to be positive.
Set up two equations, one for the downstream journey and one for the upstream journey, in
terms of "v" and "v":
Do v" and "v, add or substract downstream to give the resultant downstream velocity?
Do v" and "v, add or substract upstream togive the resultant upstream velocity? Use the
upstream direction as negative. The resultant upstream velocity should be negative.

At the end of the walk, what is the persons resultant displacement measured from the starting point? Figure P3.35arrow_forwardIf we apply the above equations to the case of an object that does not change its direction of travel as it moves with constant acceleration, we find that the object: Undergoes a displacement Ax = x- x, .
