Hi, I recently stumbled across your forums whilst trying to find help for my homework. I have managed to do all the questions on the homework except these 2, and i cannot seem to get the right answers to them. This is because they both miss one piece of data and i would normally use the suvat equations to find the answer.
A body moving with uniform acceleration covers 64.4m in 7 seconds. And 110m in 10 seconds.
Find acceleration and initial velocity.
Suvat / equations of motion
(110 - 64.4 ) / (10- 3)
The only other thing i could think of would be adding them and trying to work it out.. but as i don't know the start velocity i cant. ( 174.4 / 17)Question 2
A body released from rest falls through 44.1m during the fifth second of its motion find the acceleration due to gravity.
u= 0, s(5) - s (4) = 44.1m
Sorry there's not much working out from me, I am just new to physics (started it about a month ago) and asides from filling in data into the suvat equations i really have no idea what I am doing. could somebody point me in the right direction , thankyou
