Two people push on a boulder to try to move it. The mass of the boulder is 825 kg. One person pushes north with a force of 64 N.

The other pushes west with a force of 38 N. Predict the magnitude of the acceleration of the boulder. Assume that friction is negligible.

Answer:

0.09 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity.

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

From the question, expression for acceleration is given as

F' = ma  

Using Pythagoras Theory,

√(F₁²+F₂²) = ma................... Equation 1

Where F₁ = Force of the First person on the boulder, F₂ = Force of the Second person on the boulder, F' = resultant force acting on the boulder, m = mass of the boulder, a = acceleration of the boulder.

make a the subject of the equation

a = √(F₁²+F₂²) /m................ Equation 2

Given: m = 825 kg, F₁ = 64 N, F₂ = 38 N,

Substitute into equation 2

a = [√(64²+38²)]/825

a = {√(5540)}/825

a = 74.43/825

a = 0.09 m/s²

Alicia está a punto de perder su bus. En un desesperado intento, corre a una velocidad constante de 5 m/s. Cuando está a 15 m de
pochemuha

Answer:

Si logra alcanzar el bus.

Explanation:

Para poder solucionar este problema debemos de tener en cuenta que Alicia corre a velocidad constante para poder alcanzar el bus. La formula de la cinematica que tiene en cuenta la velocidad constante es la siguiente:

x_{f} = x_{o}+(v*t)

donde:

Xf = Ubicacion del punto donde se encuentra el bus [m]

Xo = Ubicacion desde donde esta Alicia [m]

v = velocidad constante = 5 [m/s]

t = tiempo [s]

Xf - Xo = 15 [m]

15 = 5*t

t = 3 [s]

Ahora con el tiempo podemos encontrar la velocidad del bus por medio de la siguiente ecuacion de cinematica para la aceleracion constante:

v_{f} = v_{i}+(a*t)

donde:

Vf = velocidad del bus despues de los 3 [s]

Vi = velocidad inicial = 0

a = aceleracion = 0.5 [m/s^2]

Vf = 0 + (0.5*3)

Vf = 1.5 [m/s]

La velocidad del bus es menor que la velocidad de Alicia, por ende Alicia alcanzara el bus.

Mr. Stephenson drives his car from Dallas to Town X, a distance of 437 km. The trip takes 7.27 hours. What is the average speed
klasskru [66]

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Distance covered = 437 km = 437,000 meters

Time to cover the distance = (7.27 hrs) x (3600 sec/hr) = 26,172 seconds

Average speed = (437,000 meters) / (26,172 seconds)

Average speed = 16.7 m/s
