Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:

 x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a          (EQUATION 1)

vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a             (EQUATION 2)

Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2

A mango falls fromthe top its tree passing a window which is 2.4m tall by taking 0.4s
Natasha2012 [34]

Explanation:

There are three points in time we need to consider.  At point 0, the mango begins to fall from the tree.  At point 1, the mango reaches the top of the window.  At point 2, the mango reaches the bottom of the window.

We are given the following information:

y₁ = 3 m

y₂ = 3 m − 2.4 m = 0.6 m

t₂ − t₁ = 0.4 s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t₀ = 0 s

v₀ = 0 m/s

We need to find y₀.

Use a constant acceleration equation:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Evaluated at point 1:

3 = y₀ + (0) t₁ + ½ (-9.8) t₁²

3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²

Evaluated at point 2:

0.6 = y₀ + (0) t₂ + ½ (-9.8) t₂²

0.6 = y₀ − 4.9 t₂²

Solve for y₀ in the first equation and substitute into the second:

y₀ = 3 + 4.9 t₁²

0.6 = (3 + 4.9 t₁²) − 4.9 t₂²

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₂²)

We know t₂ = t₁ + 0.4:

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁ + 0.4)²)

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁² + 0.8 t₁ + 0.16))

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₁² − 0.8 t₁ − 0.16)

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (-0.8 t₁ − 0.16)

0 = 2.4 − 3.92 t₁ − 0.784

0 = 1.616 − 3.92 t₁

t₁ = 0.412

Now we can plug this into the original equation and find y₀:

3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²

3 = y₀ − 4.9 (0.412)²

3 = y₀ − 0.83

y₀ = 3.83

Rounded to two significant figures, the height of the tree is 3.8 meters.

QUESTION 3
Alisiya [41]

The force of frictions is opposed to relative motion.

The acceleration of the crate is approximately <u>2.937 m/s²</u>.

Reason:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the wood, m = 100 kg

The force which can move the wood, F = 588 N

Wood on wood static friction, \mu_s = 0.5

Wood on wood kinetic friction, \mu_k = 0.3

Solution;

The force of friction, F_f, acting when the crate is moving is given as

follows;

F_f = m × g × \mu_k

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Therefore, we have;

F_f = 100 × 9.81 × 0.3 = 294.3

The force of friction, F_f = 294.3 N

The force with which the crate moves, F = 588 - 294.3 = 293.7

The force with which the crate moves, F = 293.7 N

Force = Mass, m × Acceleration, a

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

Therefore;

a = \dfrac{293.7 \ N}{100 \ kg} = 2.937

The acceleration of the crate, a ≈ <u>2.937 m/s²</u>.

Comparing to current technology, here are some component of star wars that is  possible :

- The drones
Remember the flying drones that could shoot stuff in star wars ? we already made that

- Prosthetic limb
Luke's bionic hand in star wars ? we also already made that

- The probe droids

Woman pulls a 6.87 kg suitcase,
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

2.24 m/s

Explanation:

resolving force of 29.2 N in x component

Fx = 29.2 cos 57.7

Fx = 15.6N

as force of friction is 12.7 N hence net force which produces acceleration is

15.6-12.7=2.9 N

by Newton 's law a=f/m

a= 2.9/6.87=0.422 m/s^2

now equation of motion is

v^2= U^2+2as

 = 0^2+2(.422)(5.93)

v^2=5.00

v=2.24 m/s
