The distance covered will be 0.301m.

firstly we will new to calculate acceleration (a).

we can do so using newtons first law of motion.

v=u + a × t

where

a is the acceleration

t is the time

from here we get

a=(v-u)/t

a=(4-0)/0.15

a=26.67m/s²

using newtons second law of motion

s=u.t+1/2at²

where s is distance travelled in t seconds.

we get,

s=0.301m

A golf ball stays on the tee until the golf club hits it. Which of the following principles best describes why this occurs? Grou

givi [52]

Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object continues to stay in its state of rest, or of uniform motion, until acted upon by an external force.

So in the case of the golf ball here, the ball stays in its state of rest, on the tee, until the golf club hits it, i.e. , applies an external force on it.

Hence we can say that Newton's First Law of Motion is the principle which is most suitable for explaining this phenomenon.

Two particles, each of mass m, are initially at rest very far apart.Obtain an expression for their relative speed of approach at

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

Explanation:

Consider two particles are initially at rest.

Therefore,

the kinetic energy of the particles is zero.

That initial K.E. = 0

The relative velocity with which both the particles are approaching each other is Δv and their reduced masses are

$\mu= \frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}$

now, since both the masses have mass m

therefore,

$\mu= \frac{m^2}{2m}$

= m/2

The final K.E. of the particles is

$KE_{final}=\frac{1}{2}\times \mu\times \Delta v^2$

Distance between two particles is d and the gravitational potential energy between them is given by

$PE_{Gravitational}= \frac{Gmm}{d}$

By law of conservation of energy we have

$KE_{initial}+KE_{final}= PE_{gravitaional}$

Now plugging the values we get

$0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{2}\Delta v^2= -\frac{Gmm}{d}$

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{d} }$

This the required relation between G,m and d

A man pushes his lawnmower with a velocity of +0.75 m/s relative to the ground. A girl rides by on her bike with a velocity of +

SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. +5.75 m/s

Explanation:

When there are two bodies, a and b, whose velocities measured by a third observer (in this case, the ground) are $V_a$ and $V_b$ respectively, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by:

$V_{ba}=V_b-V_a$

Thus, the velocity of the girl relative to the lawnmower is:

$V_{ba}=6.5\frac{m}{s}-0.75\frac{m}{s}\\V_{ba}=5.75\frac{m}{s}$

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, $T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

$T\ cos\theta-mg=0$
