You said "<span>A rocket's acceleration is 6.0 m/s2.".

That just means that its speed increases by 6 m/s every second.
Whenever you look at it, its speed is 6 m/s faster than it was
one second earlier.

If it starts out with zero speed, then its speed is 6 m/s after 1 second,
12 m/s after 2 seconds, 18 m/s after 3 seconds . . . etc.

How long does it take to reach 42 m/s ?

Well, how many times does it have to go 6 m/s FASTER 
in order to build up to 42 m/s ?

That's just (42/6) = 7 times.

Writing it correctly, with the units and everything, it looks like this:


(42 m/s) / (6 m/s</span>²)

= (42/6)  (m/s) / (m/s²)

= (42/6)  (m/s · s²/m)

=  7 seconds

A jogger accelerates from rest to 4.86 m/s in 2.43 s. A car accelerates from 20.6 to 32.7 m/s also in 2.43 s. (a) Find the magni
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initially, the jogger is at rest u₁ = 0

He accelerates from rest to 4.86 m, v₁ = 4.86 m

Time, t₁ = 2.43 s

A car accelerates from u₂ = 20.6 to v₂ = 32.7 m/s in t₂ = 2.43 s

(a) Acceleration of the jogger :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{4.86\ m/s-0}{2.43\ s}

a₁ = 2 m/s²

(b) Acceleration of the car,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{32.7\ m/s-20.6\ m/s}{2.43\ s}

a₂ = 4.97 m/s²

(c) Distance covered by the car,

d_1=u_1t_1+\dfrac{1}{2}a_1t_1^2

d_1=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times (2.43)^2

d₁ = 5.904 m

Distance covered by the jogger,

d_2=u_2t_2+\dfrac{1}{2}a_2t_2^2

d_2=20.6\times 2.43+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.97\times (2.43)^2

d₂ = 64.73 m

The car further travel a distance of, d = 64.73 m - 5.904 m = 58.826 m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Define 1 second time​
malfutka [58]

Answer:

define 1 second time

One second is the time that elapses during 9,192,631,770 (9.192631770 x 10 9 ) cycles of the radiation produced by the transition between two levels of the cesium 133 atom. ... One second is equal to 1/86,400 of a mean solar day.

A tennis ball is dropped from a roof. If it takes 38.9 seconds to reach the ground, how fast is the ball moving just before it h
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 381.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time taken to reach the ground, t = 38.9 s

The height of fall is given by;

h = ¹/₂gt²

h = ¹/₂(9.8)(38.9)²

h = 7414.73 m

The velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is given as;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

u is the initial velocity of the on the root = 0

v is the final velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 7414.73 )

v = 381.2 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 381.2 m/s

Why is it incorrect to say that astronauts are weightlesS in space while orbiting Earth in a space shuttle?​
Mamont248 [21]

This is because Gravity exists everywhere in the universe.

<h3>What is Gravity?</h3>

This is the force of attraction which acts on all matters in the universe. Astronauts appear weightless while in orbiting the Earth because the space shuttle and the astronauts are in free fall around it.

They fall at the same rate as the space shuttle which is why the astronauts appear weightless.

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x &amp; y compo
attashe74 [19]
Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.
