A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.8 m/s hits a 6.0 m -wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continues on at 5.8 m/s . What is her acceleration on the rough ice?

Answers

Answer 1

Recall that

v² - u² = 2 ax

where u and v are initial and final velocities, respectively; a is acceleration; and ∆x is the distance traveled (because the skater moves in only one direction).

So we have

(5.8 m/s)² - (8.8 m/s)² = 2 a (6.0 m)

a = ((5.8 m/s)² - (8.8 m/s)²) / (12 m)

a = -3.65 m/s²

If an object has zero acceleration, does it have to have zero velocity?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, the velocity would also be zero.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, therefore, there has to be a change in velocity for something to accelerate. which means without acceleration, the object has no velocity.

Complete Question

A sled of mass m is coasting at a constant velocity on the ice covered surface of a lake. Three birds, with a combined mass 0.5m, gently land at the same time on the sled. The sled and birds continue sliding along the original direction of motion. How does the kinetic energy of the sled and birds compare with the initial kinetic energy of the sled before the birds landed?

a) The final kinetic energy is one half of the initial kinetic energy.

b) The final kinetic energy is one third of the initial kinetic energy.

c) The final kinetic energy is one quarter of the initial kinetic energy.

d) The final kinetic energy is one ninth of the initial kinetic energy.

e) The final kinetic energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy

Answer:

The correct option is b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the sled is  m  

   The  mass of the three birds is  [tex]m_b = 0.5 m[/tex]

Generally from the law of momentum conservation,

  The initial momentum of the boat  =  final  momentum of the boat

Hence

     [tex]m * v = (m_b+ m) * v_2[/tex]

=>  [tex]m v = (0.5m+ m) * v_2[/tex]

=>  [tex]m v = 1.5m* v_2[/tex]

Here v is the velocity of the boat before the birds landed and [tex]v_2[/tex] is the velocity after the birds landed

So

       [tex]v_2 = \frac{2}{3} v[/tex]

Generally the initial  velocity of the boat before the birds landed is mathematically represented as

      [tex]K_i = \frac{1}{2} * m * v ^2[/tex]

Generally the final  velocity of the boat when the birds have landed is mathematically represented as

      [tex]K_f = \frac{1}{2} * (m_b + m ) * v_2^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]K_f = \frac{1}{2} * (0.5m + m ) * (\frac{2}{3} v)^2[/tex]

=>  [tex]K_f = \frac{1}{2} * 1.5m * (\frac{2}{3} v)^2[/tex]

=>  [tex]K_f = \frac{1}{2} * 1.5m * \frac{4}{9} v^2[/tex]

=>  [tex]K_f = \frac{1}{2}m v^2 * \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Comparing this equation with that of the initial  kinetic energy

=>  [tex]K_f = \frac{1}{3} K_i[/tex]      

The kinetic energy of the sled and birds is one-third the initial kinetic energy of the sled before the birds landed.

What is kinetic energy?

When an object is in motion, then the energy possessed by the object at the state of motion is known as its kinetic energy.

Given data -

The combined mass of three birds is, M = 0.5m.

Let m be the mass of the sled. Then applying the conservation of linear momentum as,

The initial momentum of the boat  =  final  momentum of the boat

mv = (M + m)v'

v is the velocity of the boat before the birds landed and v' is the velocity after the birds landed.

mv = (0.5m + m)v'

mv = 1.5mv'

v = 3/2 v'

or

v' =2/3v

The initial kinetic energy of the boat before the birds landed is mathematically represented as

[tex]K_{1}= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^{2}[/tex]

And the final kinetic energy of the boat when the birds have landed is mathematically represented as,

[tex]K_{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}(M+m)v'^{2}\\\\K_{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}(1.5m) \times 4/9v^{2}\\\\K_{2}=\dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\\\K_{2}=\dfrac{1}{3} \times K_{1}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the kinetic energy of the sled and birds is one-third the initial kinetic energy of the sled before the birds landed.

D. You would weigh more on planet A because it has less mass than

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The more mass an object has, the more gravity it has.

The statement which correctly explains the weight you would experience on each planet is: B. You would weigh less on planet A because it has less mass than  planet B.

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, the weight of an object is given by the formula;

[tex]Weight = mg[/tex]

Where;

m is the mass of the object.g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, we can deduce that the weight and gravity acting on an object is highly dependent on the mass of an object.

Therefore, the higher the mass in a planet, the higher the gravity existing there.

A car is moving with a constant speed of 70.0 mi/h (31.2 m/s). If its wheels have a radius of 24.1 cm, what is their angular speed

Answers

Answer:

129.46rad/s

Explanation:

Given

Linear speed v = 31.2m/s

Radius of wheel = 24.1cm = 0.241m

The formula for calculating the angular speed in terms of linear speed is expressed as;

v = wr

w is the angular velocity

r is the radius

v is the linear velocity

From the formula:

w = v/r

Substitute

w = 31.2/0.241

w = 129.46rad/s

Hence the angular speed is 129.46rad/s

A projectile is fired into the air at an angle of 50° above ground level and hits a target downrange. Neglecting air drag, it will also hit the target if fired at the same speed at an angle of

Answers

Answer:

18 m/s

Explanation:

Range of a projectile on level ground is:

R = v₀² sin(2θ) / g

14.3 m = v₀² sin(2×13°) / 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = 17.9 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the launch speed was 18 m/s.

If the bullet is launched at an angle of 50 degrees above ground level, the target will be struck. The angle remains the same. The launch angle obtained is 50 degrees.

Given:

The initial shot was fired at an angle of 50 degrees above ground.

The projectile's starting velocity (v) and magnitude of velocity will remain constant if it is shot at the same pace.

Let the angle of the projectile is x,

The horizontal component of velocity can be calculated as follows:

[tex]v(x) = v * cos(x)[/tex]

We can write:

since the horizontal part of velocity remains constant:

[tex]v(x1) = v(x2)[/tex]

[tex]cos(50) = cos(x)[/tex]

[tex]50 = x[/tex]

Therefore, if the projectile is launched at the same speed at a 50° angle above ground level, it will strike the target.

Hellow!

First, lets recabe information:

m (mass) = 1500 kg

a (aceleration) = 3 m/s²

F (Force) = ?

For calculate Force, if we have mass and aceleration, we can applicate the second law of Newton:

"Force is proportional to the product of the mass plus aceleration."

In a equation, this is like:

F = m * a

Let's replace according we information, and let's resolve:

F = 1500 kg * 3 m/s²

F = 4500 N

Result:

The force applicated is of 4500 Newtons.
