2.25 m/s² of acceleration is required to increase the speed of a car from 26 mi/h to 51 mi/h in 5 seconds.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is given as the ratio of velocity to time.
Mathematically, acceleration= velocity/time.

<h3>What is the acceleration required to increase the speed of a car from 26 mi/h to 51 mi/h in 5 seconds?</h3>

Here change in velocity of the car is 51-26= 25 mi/h.
As 1 mi/h = 0.45 m/s. So 25mi/h = 11.25 m/s.
Acceleration= (11.25m/s)/5s = 2.25 m/s².

Thus, we can conclude that the constant acceleration is 2.25 m/s².

A candy-filled piñata is hung from a tree for Elia's birthday. During an unsuccessful attempt to break the 4.4-kg piñata, Tonja

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: v = 0.6 m/s

Explanation: <u>Momentum</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>Principle</u> states that for a collision between two objects in an isolated system, the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision.

Momentum is calculated as Q = m.v

For the piñata problem:

$Q_{i}=Q_{f}$

$m_{p}v_{p}_{i}+m_{s}v_{s}_{i}=m_{p}v_{p}_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}_{f}$

Before the collision, the piñata is not moving, so $v_{p}_{i}=0$ .

After the collision, the stick stops, so $v_{s}_{f}=0$ .

Rearraging, we have:

$m_{s}v_{s}_{i}=m_{p}v_{p}_{f}$

$v_{p}_{f}=\frac{m_{s}v_{s}_{i}}{m_{p}}$

Substituting:

$v_{p}_{f}=\frac{(0.54)(4.8)}{(4.4)}$

$v_{p}_{f}=$ 0.6

Immediately after being cracked by the stick, the piñata has a swing speed of 0.6 m/s.

A swimmer of mass 64.38 kg is initially standing still at one end of a log of mass 237 kg which is floating at rest in water. He

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

0.9432 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of swimmer;m_s = 64.38 kg

Mass of log; m_l = 237 kg

Velocity of swimmer; v_s = 3.472 m/s

Now, if we consider the first log and the swimmer as our system, then the force between the swimmer and the log and the log and the swimmer are internal forces. Thus, there are no external forces and therefore momentum must be conserved.

So;

Initial momentum = final momentum

m_l × v_l = m_s × v_s

Where v_l is speed of the log relative to water

Making v_l the subject, we have;

v_l = (m_s × v_s)/m_l

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

v_l = (64.38 × 3.472)/237

v_l = 0.9432 m/s
