Given parameters:

Initial velocity(body is at rest) = 0m/s

Final velocity = 8m/s

Time of acceleration  = 2s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the dog = ?

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity with time.

Mathematically;

              Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity}{time taken}

         Now input the given parameters and solve;

         Acceleration  = \frac{8-0}{2}

         Acceleration  = 4m/s²

The dog is accelerating at a rate of 4m/s²

A student does an experiment with a pendulum. in the first trial, she displaces the pendulum 5 cm. In the second trial, she disp
lianna [129]
Well, there are different ways you can represent the motion
of the pendulum on a graph.  For example, the graph could
show the pendulum's displacement, total distance, position,
speed, velocity, or acceleration against time.  Your question
doesn't specify which quantity the graphs show, so it's pretty
tough to describe their similarities and differences, since these
could be different depending on the quantity being graphed. 

I have decided to make it simple, and assume that the graph shows
the distance away from the center against time, with positive and
negative values to represent whether its position is to the left or right
of the center.  And now I shall proceed to answer the question that
I just invented.

In both cases, the graph would be a "sine" wave.  That is, it would be
the graph of the equation 

Y = A · sin(B · time) .

' A ' is the amplitude of the wave.

' B ' is some number that depends on the frequency of the swing . . .
how often the pendulum completes one full swing.

The two graphs would have different amplitudes, so the number 'A'
would be different.  It would be 5 for the first graph and 10 on the 2nd one.

But the number 'B' would be the same for both graphs, because 
when she pulled it farther and let it go, it would make bigger swings,
but they would not happen any faster or slower than the small swings.

In the space of, say one minute, the pendulum would make the same
number of swings both times.  That number would only depend on the
length of the string, but not on how far you pull it sideways before you
let it go.

A 7.91g bullet is fired into a 1.52-kg ballistic pendulum initially at rest and becomes embedded in it. The pendulum subsequentl
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

By law of conservation of momentum:

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m_{1} u_1 + m_2 u_2  = m_1 v_1 + m_2  v_2\\ m_1 = mass of bullet\\u_1 = initial speed of bullet\\m_2 = mass of pendulum\\u_2 = initial speed of pendulum\\v_1 = final speed of bullet\\v_2 = final speed of pendulum

Initial speed of bullet is unknown whereas initial speed of pendulum will be zero as it was at rest.

Final speed of bullet and pendulum will be equal as bullet is embedded in pendulum and both moves together a vertical distance of 6.89cm.

Using third equation of motion:

2 a S = v_{f}^2  - v_{i}^2

where:

a = -g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2 ( for vertical motion)\\S = h = 6.89cm = Vertical height or distance it covers\\v_f = final speed = 0 (after covering 6.89cm)\\v_i = initial speed (unknown)

Thus by placing values v_i = 1.1620 m/s

this speed will be final speed of collision for the calculation of initial speed of bullet.

Putting values:

(7.91) * x + (1.52*10^3) * 0 = (7.91 + 1.52*10^3) * 1.162\\7.91 x = 1775.431\\x = 224m/s

This 224m/s = 0.224Km/s which is closest to D
