Answer #1

From point N to point P :

Using the equation of motion :

s = ut + 0.5*at^2

(0.20 i - 0.40 j) = (ux i )*t + 0.5*(-9.8 j)*t^2

So, 20 i - 40 j = (ux*t) i - (4.9*t^2) j

Equating both x and y components :

0.40 = 4.9*t^2 and 0.20 = ux*t

So, t = 0.286 s

So, ux = 0.7 m/s

So, time taken to cover distance from L to N = 0.6/0.7 = 0.857 s

So, total time taken to travel from L to P = 0.857 + 0.286 = 1.14 s <----------- answer
