Acceleration = change in velocity / time

change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

because the object is slowing down, the acceleration will be negative.

acceleration = (4-34) / 60
acceleration = -30 / 60
acceleration = -0.5 m/s^2

answer : the train is accelerating at -0.5 m/s^2

A bungee jumper attains a speed of 30 m/s just as the bungee cord begins to stretch. If the period of stretch is 2 s while comin
Daniel [21]

Answer:

1.53 g

Explanation:

Given,

Initial speed = 30 m/s

Final speed = 0 m/s

Period of stretch, t = 2 s

average deceleration = ?

we know

a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

a = \dfrac{0-30}{2}

a = -15 m/s²

Deceleration of the jumper = 15 m/s²

Deceleration in terms of g

= \dfrac{15}{9.81}

= 1.53\ g

Hence, the deceleration of the jumper is equal to 1.53 g

In addition to gravity, what is the other predominant force that affects the motion of a pendulum?
konstantin123 [22]

When we're working problems that involve a pendulum, we almost always IGNORE anything else besides gravity.  

Anything else besides gravity that could influence the motion of a pendulum is something that we would eliminate if we could.

Those are air resistance, mass of the string, friction at the top suspension point, and the Coriolis force, due to the Earth's rotation, that tries to change the plane of the pendulum's swing.

This question is probably fishing for the answer "<em>friction</em>".
