A donkey starts from rest and accelerates for 6.7 s at a rate of 1.6 m/s².

vitfil [10]

The maximum speed of the donkey is 10.72m/s

The question is based on the principle of motion in one dimension and hence formulas of motion in one dimension can be applied.

It is given that donkey attains an acceleration of 1.6 m/s^2

The time taken to accelerate to given speed is 6.7 seconds

We use the formula v=u + at to find the fastest speed

v is the final or maximum speed

u is the initial speed which in this case is 0 as the donkey is at rest

a is the acceleration of the donkey

t is the time taken in seconds

v = u + at

v= 0 + 1.6 x 6.7

= 10.72 m/s

Hence the donkey obtains the speed of 10.72 m/s

A 50kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the

zysi [14]

As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg

The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s

When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.

We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.

The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -

$Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}50* 10^{6}\ J$

$=25*10^6\ J$

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.

$Hence,\ the\ kinetic\ energy\ gained\ by\ earth\ is\ 25*10^6\ J$

A 1-kg rock is suspended from the tip of a horizontal meterstick at the 0-cm mark so that the meterstick barely balances like a

tigry1 [53]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if the rock, m = 1 kg

It is suspended from the tip of a horizontal meter stick at the 0-cm mark so that the meter stick barely balances like a seesaw when its fulcrum is at the 12.5-cm mark.

We need to find the mass of the meter stick. The force acting by the stone is

F = 1 × 9.8 = 9.8 N

Let W be the weight of the meter stick. If the net torque is zero on the stick then the stick does not move and it remains in equilibrium condition. So, taking torque about the pivot.

$9.8\times 12.5=W\times (50-12.5)\\\\W=\dfrac{9.8\times 12.5}{37.5}$

W = 3.266 N

The mass of the meters stick is :

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{3.266}{9.81}\\\\m=0.333\ kg$

So, the mass of the meter stick is 0.333 kg.

You drop a rock from rest from the top of a tall building.1)how far has the rock fallen in 2.60 s?

Bess [88]

Answer:
distance = 33.124 meters

Explanation:
To solve this question, we will use one of the equations of motion which is:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
where:
s is the distance that we want to get
u is the initial velocity = 0
a is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
t is the time = 2.6 sec

Substitute with the givens in the equation to get the distance as follows:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
s = (0)(2.6) + 0.5(9.8)(2.6)^2
s = 33.124 meters

Hope this helps :)
