Homework Help Overview

The problem involves a motorcyclist accelerating in one dimension with a constant acceleration. The initial conditions include the motorcyclist's position and velocity at a specific time, and the questions focus on finding the position and velocity at another time and when a certain velocity is reached.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the use of kinematic equations to relate initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, time, and displacement. There are questions about the correct formulas to apply and the variables involved.

Discussion Status

Some participants have offered guidance on which equations might be relevant, while others are clarifying the formulas and their components. There is an ongoing exploration of the correct approach to take, with no explicit consensus reached yet.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working within the constraints of standard kinematic equations and are attempting to clarify their understanding of the variables involved in the problem.

A motorcyclist heading east accelerates with a constant acceleration
of 4.0 m/s2. At time t = 0 he is 5.0 m east of a signpost, moving east
at 15 m/s.
a) Find his position and velocity at time t = 2.0 s.
b) Where is the motorcyclist when his velocity is 25 m/s?

how can i solve this ??

thank you. is it? a=Vf-Vi/ΔT is it my formula? or V=V0+at2
 
hi bl4cksta! :smile:

(try using the X2 and X2 icons just above the Reply box :wink:)

yes, that'll give you vf

you're using it because it has vi a t and vf :wink:
or V=V0+at2

where did you get that from?? :confused:

see the pf library for the standard https://www.physicsforums.com/library.php?do=view_item&itemid=204" equations :wink:

… to find s, you need one with vi a t and s

… what do you get? :smile:
