What was Dan’s final velocity at this time?

AI Thread Summary
Dan's final velocity after running 60 meters in 8 seconds is calculated to be 7.5 m/s. The acceleration is determined to be 0.9375 m/s² based on the change in velocity over time. Another calculation suggests an acceleration of 1.875 m/s², indicating a possible discrepancy in the method used. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using consistent formulas for both velocity and acceleration. Overall, the calculations for both parts are confirmed to be correct with some variations in approach.

Dan starts from rest and started running for a distance of 6.0 x 10(power of 1) m in 8 s. [4 Marks]

a) What was Dan’s final velocity at this time?
6*10 = 60 -> 60/8 = 7.5
7.5m/s <-- is this right?

b) What was the acceleration of Dan?

7.5-0 divided by 8 = 0.9375
so 0.9375m/s squared

is question a and b right?... Can anyone please help me...

Can anyone help me with this too please? thanks T.T
 
anyone...
 
11. a) 60m in 8 sec -> 7.5 m/s
b)d=60m t= 8 v(I)= 0

60m= 32a -> a= 60/32

acceleration -> 1.875 m/s squared

is it right?
 
(b) seems fine.. (assuming constant acceleration)
why don't you try for (a) in a similar fashion!
 
I think you had it right the first time for part b, part a looks fine. What is acceleration? Change in velocity over change in time right?
 
thankyou everybody
