Solution Summary

Very detail answer with easy to understand steps. It will enable you to do similar problems yourself. The velocity, displacement and time of travel is examined.

Solution Preview

Initial velocity u = 36km/h = 36 x (5/18) m/s (say, to the right)

Velocity after 6 second = 18 x (5/18) m/s to the ...
