A greyhound's velocity changes from rest to 19 m/s in 2 seconds. What is the greyhound's average acceleration?

2 answers:

7 0

We know, a = (v₂-v₁) / (t₂-t₁)
Here, v₂-v₁ = 19 m/s
t₂-t₁ = 2 s

Substitute it into expression,
a = 19/2
a = 9.5 m/s²

So, your final answer is 9.5 m/s²

Hope this helps!

The correct answer is 9.5 m/s^2. I just took this test.

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

68.5 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

t = 3.74 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0) (3.74) + ½ (9.8) (3.74)²

Δy = 68.5

The egg fell 68.5 meters.

A spherical asteroid of average density would have a mass of 8.7×1013kg if its radius were 2.0 km. 1. If you and your spacesuit

Law Incorporation [45]

1. 0.16 N

The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$M=8.7\cdot 10^{13}kg$ is the mass of the asteroid

m = 100 kg is the mass of the man

r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid

Substituting, we find

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})\frac{(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(110 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}=0.16 N$

2. 1.7 m/s

In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

$m\frac{v^2}{r}=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=1.7 m/s$

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.0 kg gibbon

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

230 N

Explanation:

At the lowest position , the velocity is maximum hence at this point, maximum support force T is given by the branch.

The swinging motion of the ape on a vertical circular path , will require

a centripetal force in upward direction . This is related to weight as follows

T - mg = m v² / R

R is radius of circular path . m is mass of the ape and velocity is 3.2 m/s

T = mg - mv² / R

T = 8.5 X 9.8 + 8.5 X 3.2² / .60 { R is length of hand of ape. }

T = 83.3 + 145.06

= 228.36

= 230 N ( approximately )
