Answer:

141 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

t = 14.4 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (9.8 m/s²) (14.4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 141 m/s

Which of the following are a units of energy? Select all that apply.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Hey there

Your answer should be Joules, Watts, and J/s.

The joule

The joule (pronounced jool) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton-metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).

The Watt

The watt (symbol: W) is a unit of power or radiant flux. In the International System of Units (SI), it is defined as a derived unit of (in SI base units)[1][2] 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3 or, equivalently,[3] 1 joule per second (J/s). It is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. The watt is named after James Watt (1736-1819), an 18th-century Scottish inventor.

<span>ie., new angular velocity w2 = m1 w1 / ( m1+ 2m2) = 125 x 3.1 / ( 125 + 2 x39.5 ) </span>

OlgaM077 [116]
A car moves along an x axis through a distance of 900 m, starting at rest (at x = 0) and ending at rest (at x = 900 m). Through the first 1/4 of that distance, its acceleration is +6.25 m/s2. Through the next 3/4 of that distance, its acceleration is -2.08 m/s2. What are (a) its travel time through the 900 m and (b) its maximum speed? 

<span>Solve for the time at the 1/4 mark. That's 225 m. How? d = (1/2)at^2 ( initial velocity zero). Thus 225 = (1/2) 6.25 t^2. t^2 = ( 225 * 2 ) / 6.25. t = 8.5 sec. </span>

<span>At the other end t^2 = (675 * 2) / 2.08 -- we reversed the sign and ran time backwards. t = 25.5 sec. </span>

<span>So total time is 8.5 + 25.5 or 34 sec. </span>

<span>Since zero initial velocity: v^2 = 2 a d. Here, v^2 = 2 * 6.25 * 225. v = 53 m/s. That's the fastest speed since braking then occurs.</span>
