Answer:

Explanation:

From the equation of Newton's laws of motion

v = u + at where v is final velocity , u is initial velocity and t is time.

150 = 0 + a x 3

a = 50 m / s ²

s = ut + 1/2 at² ; s is distance travelled

s = 50 x 3 + .5 x 50 x 3²

= 150 + 225

= 375 m .

What is the deceleration of the rocket sled if it comes to rest in 1.1 s from a speed of 1000 km/h? (such deceleration caused on

Wewaii [24]

The deceleration of the rocket sled if it comes to rest in 1.1 s from a speed of 1000 km/h is $252.52\ m/s^2$ .

The acceleration in opposite direction is known as the deceleration. Basically the deceleration is negative value of the acceleration since the negative sign depicts its opposite in direction.

The given data:

time, t = 1.1 s

initial speed, u = 1000 km/h = $\frac{2500}{9}\ m/s$

final speed, v = 0 m/s

So we will be using the equation of motion, that is,

v = u + at

$\therefore 0=\frac{2500}{9} + a(1.1)$

$\Rightarrow a=-\frac{2500}{9(1.1)}$

$\therefore a = - 252.52 \ m/s^2$

Hence , the deceleration of the rocket is $252.52\ m/s^2$ .

Explain why a moving object cannot come to a stop instantaneously (in zero seconds). Hint: Think about the acceleration that wou

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=maSo when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, mv⃗ mv→, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/hHowever, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.

Answer:

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

If an object is dropped in the air, it starts a vertical movement with an acceleration equal to g=9.8 m/s^2. The speed of the object after a time t is:
