Answer:
a = 2 [m/s²]
Explanation:
To be able to solve this problem we must make it clear that the starting point when the time is equal to zero, the velocity is 5 [m/s] and when three seconds have passed the velocity is 11 [m/s], this point is the final point or the final velocity.
We can use the following equation.
where:
Vf = final velocity = 11 [m/s]
Vo = initial velocity = 5 [m/s]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
t = time = 3 [s]
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg
It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.
(a) The kinetic energy is given by :
As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.
(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by :
It can be calculated as :
(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,
M = 0 J + 492.84 J
M = 492.84 J
Hence, this is the required solution.
