Best Answer

3m/s vertical velocity and 4m/s horizontal velocity

using vector addition you can add both vectors with Pythagoras

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + 4^2 = c^2

9 + 16 = c^2

c = 5 m/s

you can use trigonometry to find the angle of the velocity vector also

How many meters can you travel in 5 minutes running at a speed of 3 miles per second?

Wow, 3 miles per second is running fast. At 1609.34 meters per mile, this converts to 4828.02 meters per second. Since 5 minutes is 300 seconds,this means you would run 1448406 meters in that time.


Which is faster - a car traveling at 60 mph or a cheetah running at 25 meters per second?

The car going 60 mph is traveling faster. The cheetah, running at 25 meters per second is moving at 55.9 miles per hour.


Which has more momentum a football player who weighs 120 kg running at 4 meters per second or a player who weighs 102 kg running at 5 meters per second?

The player who weighs 120 kg running at 4 meters per second has more momentum than the player who weighs 102 kg running at 5 meters per second. Momentum is calculated as mass multiplied by velocity, so the higher mass of the first player compensates for the lower velocity compared to the second player.


Which raindrops if either fall faster small ones or large ones?

In general, large raindrops fall faster than small raindrops due to their greater mass and gravity. This means that small raindrops can be more easily suspended in the atmosphere compared to larger raindrops.


What is the speed of a rabbit that runs 14.5 meters per second?

To find the speed of a rabbit that runs at 14.5 meters per second, you've already provided the speed: 14.5 meters per second. So, the speed of the rabbit is 14.5 meters per second.


What is the acceleration of a projectile fired vertically down?

The acceleration of a projectile fired vertically down is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is -9.81 m/s^2. The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is in the downward direction.


What is the speed of a mouse deer that runs 14.5 meters per second?

14.5 meters per second is the speed. Speed means the amount of distance traveled in a certain amount of time. In your 14.5 meters per second your mouse deer is running 14.5 meters every 1 second. Therefore if no acceleration is occurring then at 2 seconds your deer will have run 29 meters. And at 3 seconds your deer would have run 43.5 meters.


How quickly does rain fall?

Not including wind-driven rain, raindrops fall between 7 and 18 miles per hour (3 and 8 meters per second) in still air. The range in speed depends on the the size of the raindrop. Air friction breaks up raindrops when they exceed 18 miles per hour.


What is the speed in meters per second if you are running 100 meters in 12 seconds at a constant speed?
