To find the values of t and t², we need to use the equations of motion.
Here are the equations of motion we'll need:
- v = u + at
- s = ut + 0.5at²
- v² = u² + 2as
Given: Initial velocity (u₁) = 90 km Final velocity (v₁) = 275 km Total displacement (s) = 1170 km
Using the first equation, we can calculate the acceleration (a):
v₁ = u₁ + at 275 = 90 + a*t
Rearranging the equation, we get: at = 275 - 90 at = 185 a = 185/t
Now, using the third equation, we can find t:
v² = u² + 2as (275)^2 = (90)^2 + 2a1170 75625 = 8100 + 2340a 2340a = 75625 - 8100 2340a = 67525 a = 67525/2340 a ≈ 28.85
Substituting the value of a back into the first equation and solving for t:
28.85*t = 185 t = 185/28.85 t ≈ 6.41
Therefore, the value of t is approximately 6.41.
To find t², we simply need to square the value of t:
t² = (6.41)^2 t² ≈ 41.12
Therefore, the value of t² is approximately 41.12.
