A body moving with uniform acceleration has two points(5, 15) and (20, 60) on the velocity-times graph of its motion. Calculate the acceleration

A.

0.25ms-2

B.

3.00ms-2

C.

4.00ms-2

D.

9.00ms-2

E.

16.00ms-2

Correct answer is B

slope = acceleration

a = v2v1t2t1=6015205

= 3ms-2

A ball is projected horizontally from the top of a hill with a velocity of 20m-1. If it reaches the ground 4 seconds later, what is the height of the hill? (g = 10ms-2)

A.

20m

B.

40m

C.

80m

D.

160m

E.

200m

Correct answer is C

Initial horizontal velocity = 20ms-1

Initial vertical velocity = 0

s = ut + 12gt2 = 0 x 5 x 42

= 80m
