Answer:
a) [tex]a_{avg}=1.25ft/s^2[/tex]
b) [tex]v_b=13.35ft/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Speed at point A [tex]v_A=10.6ft/s[/tex]
Speed at point C [tex]v_C=15.6ft/s[/tex]
Time from Point A to C [tex]T_{ac}=4.00s[/tex]
Time from Point B to C [tex]T_{bc}=1.80s[/tex]
Generally the equation for acceleration From A to B is mathematically given by
[tex]a_{avg}=\frac{v_c-v_a}{\triangle t}[/tex]
[tex]a_{avg}=\frac{15.6-10.6}{4.0 }[/tex]
[tex]a_{avg}=1.25ft/s^2[/tex]
Generally the equation for cart speed at B is mathematically given by
[tex]a_{avg}=\frac{v_c-v_a}{T_{bc}}[/tex]
[tex]v_b=v_c-a_{avg}*T_{bc}[/tex]
[tex]v_b=15.6ft/s-(1.25ft/s^2)(1.80)[/tex]
[tex]v_b=13.35ft/s[/tex]
