Question 1 Report
(a) A particle moves on a straight path with an initial speed u and final speed v in time t. Show that the total distance X covered by the particle is given by
\(x = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2\)
where a is the magnitude of acceleration
(b) State;
(i) Newton's second law of motion
(ii) the principle of conservation of energy
(iii) the law of floatation.
(c) Consider a balloon of mass 0.030 kg being inflated with a gas of density 0.54 kg m\(^{-3}\). What will be the volume of the balloon when it just begins to rise in air of density 1.29 kg m\(^{-3}\)? [ g = 10 ms\(^{-2}\)]
