The total displacement is equal to the total distance. For the east or E direction, the distance is determined using the equation:
d = vt = (22 m/s)(12 s) = 264 m
For the west or W direction, we use the equations:
a = (v - v₀)/t
d = v₀t + 0.5at²
Because the object slows down, the acceleration is negative. So,
-1.2 m/s² = (0 m/s - 22 m/s)/t
t = 18.33 seconds
d = (22 m/s)(18.33 s) + 0.5(-1.2 m/s²)(18.33 s)²
d = 201.67 m
Thus,
Total Displacement = 264 m + 201.67 m = 465.67 or approximately 4.7×10² m.
Answer:
If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.
If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.
Explanation:
If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.
On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.
A hillside of course my friend
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.
<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of the Steelhead(m) = 9 kg
Velocity of the Steelhead(v) = 16 m/s
<u>Calculating the Kinetic Energy:</u>
KE = 1/2mv²
replacing the variables
KE = 1/2 * 9 * (16)²
KE = 1152 Joules
