The 1.75 is the gap between people, so you don't need to subtract .25 from it.J Hann said:Let t1 = 1.75 / 3.5 the time for the first person to reach the door
t2 = (2 * 1.75 - .25) / 3.5 time for second to reach first person
t3 = (3 * 1.75 - 2 * .25) / 3.5 time for third person to reach second person
Can you arrange this into a geometric series?
Water level?RyanH42 said:but stilll I didnt understand where that equation come from and a option
How far from the door is the third person at time 0?J Hann said:N
Since the third person would travel (3 * 1.75 - 2 * .25) because there was a .50 layer of people
already at the door.
Motion equation is a mathematical representation of the relationship between an object's position, velocity, and acceleration over a period of time. It is used to calculate and predict the motion of objects in various scenarios.
There are three types of motion equations: constant velocity, constant acceleration, and projectile motion. Each type represents a different scenario of motion and has its own specific equation.
To solve a motion equation, you need to identify the given variables (position, velocity, acceleration, and time) and plug them into the appropriate equation. Then, you can solve for the unknown variable by rearranging the equation using basic algebraic principles.
No, motion equations are only applicable for uniform motion, where the object's velocity and acceleration remain constant. For non-uniform motion, more complex equations and techniques, such as calculus, are needed to accurately describe the object's motion.
Some common mistakes to avoid when solving motion equations include using the wrong equation for the given scenario, forgetting to convert units, and not considering the direction of the motion. It is important to carefully read and understand the problem before solving and double-check the units and direction in your final answer.
