A particle accelerates at 12\(ms^{-2}\) and travels a distance of 250m in 6 seconds. Find the initial velocity of the particle.

A.

5.7\(ms^{-1}\)

B.

6.0\(ms^{-1}\)

C.

60.0\(ms^{-1}\)

D.

77.5\(ms^{-1}\)

Correct answer is A

\(s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}\)

\(250 = 6u + \frac{1}{2}(12)(6^{2})\)

\(250 = 6u + 216 \implies 6u = 250 - 216 = 34\)

\(u = \frac{34}{6} \approxeq 5.7ms^{-1}\)

The first term of a linear sequence is 9 and the common difference is 7. If the nth term is 380, find the value of n.

A.

45

B.

54

C.

56

D.

65

Correct answer is B

\(T_{n} = a + (n - 1)d\)

\(380 = 9 + (n - 1)7\)

\(380 = 9 + 7n - 7 \implies 380 = 2 + 7n\)

\(7n = 380 - 2 = 378 \therefore n = \frac{378}{7} = 54\)
