Find the coordinates of point P that partition AB in the ratio 1:4.

Please give explanation

(1.6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point P, partitioning AB in the ratio 1:4, implies that it divides AB into, AP and PB, such that AP to PB = 1:4.

Use the formuka below to find the coordinates of point P:

Where,

Solve by plugging the above values where necessary as follows:

The coordinates of P that partitions AB into the ratio 1:4 are (1.6, 0)

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.
