Let's say that you travel a distance, x. What distance does your friend travel?Manh said:You and your friend are in building four equal-length blocks apart, and you meet for lunch. Friend is 1.2 m/s and you are 1.6 m/s. The restaurant is between the two building and you and your friend will arrive at the same instant if both of you leave the buildings at the same instant. In blocks, how far from your building is the restaurant?
Can anyone guide me how to solve this problem? Thanks!
Distance for this problem is in units of blocks.Manh said:The problem only provide me blocks but it does not provide me distance x? Therefore, it's the problem!
No way is it 4x. Can't give much bigger hint than I gave.Manh said:I think my friend travel in 4x? Can you give me second hint?
Yes it is.Manh said:Oh, is it 4 - x?
You already gave that answer.Manh said:So, my friend walk 4 - x and I walk x.
Solve that for distance.Manh said:Do I need the formula v=x/t to find our distances?
but v is given numerically.Manh said:The formula of distance is x = v * t. What do I plug in for t when it is not given?
It may be the correct answer for something.Manh said:I got t=10/7. Is it correct? If so, should I express it in a decimal number?
Motion at constant velocity refers to an object moving at a constant speed in a straight line, with no changes in direction. This means that the object is moving at a steady rate without any acceleration or deceleration.
Constant velocity means that an object is moving at a constant speed and in a straight line, while constant speed only refers to the rate at which an object is moving. Constant velocity also takes into account the direction of the motion.
An object will have constant velocity if the net force acting on it is zero. This means that the forces pushing or pulling on the object are balanced, resulting in a steady motion without any changes in speed or direction.
No, constant velocity and acceleration are two different concepts. An object cannot have constant velocity if it is accelerating, as acceleration involves a change in velocity (speed or direction) over time. However, an object can have a constant velocity if it is accelerating at a rate of zero, meaning its speed remains constant.
On a position-time graph, constant velocity is represented by a straight, horizontal line. This indicates that the object is moving at a constant position (no change in distance from the starting point) over time, which means its speed and direction are not changing.
