Answer:

1.95 kg

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

0 = (74.9) (-0.215) + m (8.25)

m = 1.95

If the angular velocity of the pully is -8.4rad/s at a given time, and its anglar acceleration is -2.8rad/s2, what is the angula
snow_lady [41]

Here we know that

\omega_i = - 8.4 rad/s

\alpha = - 2.8 rad/s^2

t = 1.5 s

now from kinematics we have

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

now from above all values we have

\omega_f = (-8.4 rad/s) + (-2.8 rad/s^2)(1.5)

\omega_f = -8.4 + (-4.2)

\omega_f = -12.6 rad/s

so final angular speed is -12.6 rad/s

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial speed, u = 4 m/s

Final velocity, V = 11 m/s

Time, t = 8 seconds

t2, = 16 seconds

Acceleration, a= (change in velocity) / time interval

a = (11 - 4) / 8

a = 7 / 8 = 0.875m/s²

Final velocity, v2 ;

Acceleration * t2

0.875 * 16 = 14

V2 = 14 m/s

Final speed : v + v2 = (11 + 14)m/s = 25m/s
