In a video game, a flying coconut moves at a constant velocity of 20 meters/second. the coconut hits an obstacle and moves in the opposite direction with a constant velocity of 10 meters/second. what’s the change in velocity of the coconut?

Change in velocity of the coconut = -30 m/s                

Explanation:

It is given that,

In a video game, a flying coconut moves at a constant velocity of 20 meters/second i.e. initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

The coconut hits an obstacle and moves in the opposite direction with a constant velocity of 10 meters/second i.e. final velocity, v = -10 m/s ( opposite direction )

Change in velocity of the coconut = final velocity - initial velocity

Hence, this is the required solution.

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
