In a mall, a shopper rides up an escalator between floors. At the top of the escalator, the shopper turns right and walks 9 meters to a store. The magnitude of the shopper's displacement from the bottom of the escalator is 16m. The vertical distance between the floors is 6m...
Ok I have a feeling that the answer is 9.8m because once the ball is thrown in the air it automatically begins to decelerates because of gravity. Since it takes an object that was dropped to travel 9.8m in one second, an object that was thrown up and airborne for only one second must of been...
Ok I see where I had made my mistake, but now I am confused with how to find the distance traveled. How do you find the distance traveled if there are 2 different velocities?
Ok... I understand what you told me and using what you told me my first gut reaction is to say that the answer is 0. Since the ball is not moving anywhere initially. Is this valid?
