Answer:

D!

Explanation:

Using the formula F = ma, you plug in 4.9 for F (force), and 0.5 for m (mass), then solve for a (acceleration).

Hi please help me with this question. ..

Explanation:

For projectile motion, use constant acceleration equation:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

where Δx is the displacement,

v₀ is the initial velocity,

a is the acceleration,

and t is time.

Both objects are projected upward with velocity u.  The second object is thrown after a time t₀.

For the first object:

Δx = u t + ½ (-g) t²

Δx = u t − ½g t²

For the second object:

Δx = u (t−t₀) + ½ (-g) (t−t₀)²

Δx = u (t−t₀) − ½g (t−t₀)²

Assuming the objects meet, the displacements will be equal:

u t − ½g t² = u (t−t₀) − ½g (t−t₀)²

u t − ½g t² = u (t−t₀) − ½g (t² − 2tt₀ + t₀²)

u t − ½g t² = u t − u t₀ − ½g t² + g tt₀ − ½g t₀²

0 = -u t₀ + g tt₀ − ½g t₀²

0 = -u + g t − ½g t₀

g t = u + ½g t₀

t = u/g + t₀/2

Is the speed of the object is zero when it's at rest ?
NARA [144]
Yes! Although the object has potential energy, the object is not moving and therefore has no speed. :)

A passenger on a moving train walks at a speed of 1.40 m/s due north relative to the train. The train is traveling at 3.5 m/s du
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

v= 4.9 m/s in east direction ( or  v=4.9 m/s * i )

Explanation:

Since the passenger moves along the train ( in the north direction relative to the train) then if the train is traveling east relative to the ground , the passenger will also travel to the east relative to the ground .  

Then the magnitude of the velocity will be

v= 1.40 m/S + 3.5 m/s = 4.9 m/s

v= 4.9 m/s

and the direction will be east ( if the x axis represents east direction and y-axis the north direction , then the velocity vector will be  v=4.9 m/s * i )
