You are at a circus and you see a stunt man climb up 29.4 meters into a cannon. He gets fired horizontally out of the cannon with a speed of 57.1 m/s. How long was stunt man in the air for?

t = 2.44 s

Explanation:

Given that,

A stunt man climb up 29.4 meters into a cannon. He gets fired horizontally out of the cannon with a speed of 57.1 m/s.

We need to find the time for which was the stunt man in the air. Let it is t. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as follows :

u is initial speed and it is 0

So, the stunt man is in the air for 2.44 seconds.

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
