A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in: 2 seconds

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

From the question above,

Applying equation of motion,

s = ut+at²/2....................... Equation 1

Where t = time, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

make s the subject of the equation,

Given: a = 1.8 m/s², t = 2 seconds, u = 0 m/s (from rest)

Substitute these value into equation 1

s = 0(2)+1.8(2²)/2

s = 1.2(4)/2

s = 2.4 m.

Hence she has traveled 2.4 m

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1. bending of light in gravitational fields.

2. effect of gravitational redshift.

3. perihelion precission of mecury.

Explanation:

1 bending of light in gravitational fields, we can think of it like this:

by noting the change in position s of stars as they pass near the sun on the celetial sphere, so since the sun creates a gravitational field even the star thats not in our line of side(behind the sun) can be seen because its light is bent.

2. effects of gravitational redshift:

this says that if you are in the gravitational field, your clock moves slower when it is seen by a distant observer.

3. perihelion precission of mecury:

according to Newtonian physics a two body system consisting of a lone orbiting the spherical mass would trace out an ellipse with the center of mass of the system as the focus but mercury deviates from that precission. then according to Einstein, the change in orientation of the orbital ellipsewithin its orbital plane is the effect of gravitation being mediated by the curvature of space-time.

At t = 0, a particle starts at rest and moves along a line in such a way that, at time t, its acceleration is 24t 2 ft / s2. thr

svp [43]

The acceleration of the particle at time t is:
$a(t)=24t^2 ft/s^2$
The velocity of the particle at time t is given by the integral of the acceleration a(t):
$v(t)= \int a(t) \, dt = \int (24 t^2) dt=24 \frac{t^3}{3}=8t^3 ft/s$
and the position of the particle at time t is given by the integral of the velocity v(t):
$x(t)=\int v(t) = \int (8t^3)=8 \frac{t^4}{4}=2t^4 ft$

Assuming the particle starts from position x(0)=0 at t=0, the distance the particle covers in the first t=2 seconds can be found by substituting t=2 s in the equation of x(t):
$x(2 s)=2 t^4 = 2 (2s)^4=32 ft$
