How do i find initial velocity and time?
i am given final velocity which is 10, acceleration which is 20, and displacement which is -100. i keep getting 64.031 but my teacher says that initial velocity can’t be greater than final velocity if the acceleration is positive which makes sense, but i don’t know how to get another answer. ?

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = -100

v = 10

a = 20

To find v₀, use a kinematic equation that's independent of time.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(10)² = v₀² + 2(20)(-100)

100 = v₀² − 4000

v₀² = 4100

v₀ = ±64.0

As your teacher said, v₀ can't be +64.0.  So v₀ = -64.0.

Next, to find time, use a kinematic equation that's independent of initial velocity.

Δx = vt − ½ at²

-100 = (10) t − ½ (20) t²

-100 = 10 t − 10 t²

-10 = t − t²

t² − t − 10 = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

t = [ -(-1) ± √((-1)² − 4(1)(-10)) ] / 2(1)

t = (1 ± √41) / 2

t > 0, so:

t = (1 + √41) / 2

t ≈ 3.70

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.
