Calculating Total Distance Traveled of an Object in Uniform & Constant Velocity

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the total distance traveled by an object moving at uniform velocity, first determine the distance covered during each segment of the journey. For the first segment, traveling at 10 m/s for 3 seconds results in a distance of 30 meters. In the second segment, moving at 5 m/s for 2 seconds covers an additional 10 meters. The total distance traveled is the sum of both segments, which equals 40 meters. This problem illustrates the application of basic kinematic equations in uniform motion scenarios.

An object travels in a straight line at a uniform velocity of 10 m/s for 3 seconds and then travels for 2 seconds at a constant speed of 5 meters per second in the same direction. Calculate the total distance traveled.

pleez maybe a formula or two ill do the rest of it!
 
post this in the homework help forum, that's a more appropriate place!
 
As I said in the other thread where you asked the same question, you only need one formula. If I tell you what it looks like I will have done too much already. We're supposed to offer hints here, not complete solutions.
 
If you are going to grandmas house for thanksgiving dinner and it takes you 1 hr to get there when you drive at 60 mi/hr, how far is it to grandmas house?
 
Uniform velocity then constant speed in the same direction.

Interesting choice of words.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
