A curved line on a position/time graph shows that the speed is changing.

So right there, we know there is acceleration.

A 3-kg skateboard is rolling down the sidewalk at 4 m/s when it collides with a 1-kg skateboard that was initially at rest. If t
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of first skateboard, m = 3 kg

Initial speed of first skateboard, u = 4 m/s

Mass of second skateboard, M = 1 kg

Initial speed of second skateboard, U = 0 m/s

Final speed of second skateboard, V = 6 m/s

Using the principle of the conservaton of momentum, the total initial momentum is equal to the total final momentum.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. This implies that:

m*u + M*U = m*v + M*V

(3*4) + (1*0) = (3*v) + (1*6)

12 + 0 = 3v + 6

=> 3v = 12 - 6

3v = 6

v = 6/3 = 2 m/s

The final speed of the 3 kg skateboard is 2 m/s

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1.25 m

0.5 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (5 m/s)² + 2 (-10 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 1.25 m

Find: t

v = at + v₀

(0 m/s) = (-10 m/s²) t + (5 m/s)

t = 0.5 s

How much force can a 2.5 kg sledge hammer excerpt on a nail if you can swing the hammer at 20 m/s and the hammer contacts the na
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

625 N

Explanation:

The impulse given to the nail is equal to the change in momentum of the hammer:

I=F \Delta t=m \Delta v

where

F is the force exerted by the hammer

\Delta t=0.08 s is the time of contact

m=2.5 kg is the mass

\Delta v=20 m/s is the change in velocity of the hammer

Substituting the data and re-arranging the equation, we can find the force:

F=\frac{m \Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(2.5 kg)(20 m/s)}{0.08 s}=625 N

A 60-kg skier starts from rest at the top of a 80-meter high practice slope (A). He uses his poles to propel himself forward, do
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of skier m=65kg

Height of slope =80m

Potential energy possessed by the skier (positive work done) =12000J

Analysing his energy at half way point on the hill

Potential energy will be equal to kinetic energy

Applying the conservative principles of energy when the skier is at half way point in the hill

I.e

mgh= 1/2mv²

The masses will cancel out

gh=v²

Given g= 9.81m/s²

Let's solve for the velocity

v²=9.81*80

v=√784.8

v=28.0m/s

Now we can solve for the kinetic energy

KE= 1/2mv²

KE =1/2*60*28²

KE =47063.9/2

KE=23531.9J

Hence we can calculate the energy gained by the skier during his movement

Energy gained = KE-PE

= 23531.9-12000

= 11531.9J
