The magnitude of acceleration is (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning) =

                                   (16 m/s)  -  (0)  =  16 m/s .

Time for the change  =  4 s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (16 m/s) / (4 s) = 4 m/s per sec = 4 m/s² .

16 m/s - 0 m/s divided by 4s
= 16 m/s divided by 4s
= 4 m/s
The acceleration is 4 m/s squared

A 6kg block starts from rest against a spring with a spring constant of 500N/m that is compressed by a distance of 2m. The groun
cestrela7 [59]

The velocity of the block leaving the spring is determined as 18.26 m/s.

<h3>Velocity of the block</h3>

The velocity of the block leaving the spring is calculated from the principle of conservation of energy.

K.E = Ux

¹/₂mv² = ¹/₂kx²

v² = kx²/m

v² = (500 x 2²)/6

v² = 333.33

v = √333.33

v = 18.26 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the block leaving the spring is determined as 18.26 m/s.

A truck is hauling a 300-kg log out of a ditch using a winch attached to the back of the truck. Knowing the winch applies a cons
torisob [31]

Answer:

0.1 s

Explanation:

The net force on the log is F - f = ma where F = force due to winch = 2850 N, f = kinetic frictional force = μmg where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction between log and ground = 0.45, m = mass of log = 300 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and a = acceleration of log

So F - f = ma

F - μmg = ma

F/m - μg = a

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = F/m - μg

a = 2850 N/300 kg - 0.45 × 9.8 m/s²

a = 9.5 m/s² - 4.41 m/s²

a = 5.09 m/s²

Since acceleration, a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity of log = 0 m/s (since it was a rest before being pulled out of the ditch), v = final velocity of log = 0.5 m/s and t = time taken for the log to reach a speed of 0.5 m/s.

So, making t subject of the formula, we have

t = (v - u)/a

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

t = (v - u)/a

t = (0.5 m/s - 0 m/s)/5.09 m/s²

t = 0.5 m/s ÷ 5.09 m/s²

t = 0.098 s

t ≅ 0.1 s
