1) Un cuerpo se mueve desacelerando a razón de 8m/s2, calcula: a) La velocidad que tenía 5 segundos antes de detenerse. b) La distancia recorrida los últimos 5 segundos de su trayectoria.

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance travel in last 5 seconds = 100 m

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration (a) = 8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Find;

1] Initial velocity before 5 sec

2] Distance travel in last 5 seconds

Computation:

1] Initial velocity before 5 sec

v = u + at

0 = u + (-8)(5)

u - 40 = 0

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

2] Distance travel in last 5 seconds

s = ut + (1/2)(a)(t²)

s = (40)(5) + (1/2)(-8)(5²)

s = 200 - 100

Distance travel in last 5 seconds = 100 m

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
