Answer:

The average acceleration during the 6.0 s interval was -27 m/s².

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time:

a = Δv/t

Where:

a = acceleration.

Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

t = elapsed time

The change in velocity will be:

Δv = final velocity - initial velocity

Δv = -74 m/s - 87 m/s = -161 m/s

(notice the negative sign of the velocity that is in opposite direction to the direction considered positive)

Then the average acceleration will be:

a = Δv/t

a = -161 m/s / 6.0 s

a = -27 m/s²

The average acceleration during the 6.0 s interval was -27 m/s².

Masja [62]
Let height of twin falls = x
height of seven falls = 2.5x

x + 2.5x = 420
3.5x = 420
x = 420/3.5 = 120

so twin falls = x = 120 ft
seven falls = 2.5x = 300 ft

A group of scientists have obtained some experimental results.
topjm [15]
<span>In order best to find out whether the obtained experimental results are worth mor etime and resources the group of scientists should present their results (could be done also in poster session) to other scientists in order to hear their opinion and get a feedback. The shoudl also ask another researchers to redo the experiments and to compare the results. </span>

A 0.311 kg tennis racket moving 30.3 m/s east makes an elastic collision with a 0.0570 kg ball moving 19.2 m/s west. Find the ve
Troyanec [42]

The velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 0.311kg

u1 = 30.3m/s

m2 = 0.057kg

u2 = 19.2m/s

Since m2 is moving in opposite direction, u2 = -19.2m/s

Velocity of m1 after collision  = ?

Let the velocity of m1 after collision be v

After collision the momentum is conserved.

Therefore,

m1u1 - m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

v1 = (\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})u1 + (\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})u2

v1 = (\frac{0.311-0.057}{0.311+0.057})30.3 + (\frac{2 X 0.057}{0.311 + 0.057}) X-19.2\\\\v1 = (\frac{0.254}{0.368} )30.3 + (\frac{0.114}{0.368}) X -19.2\\ \\v1 = 20.91 - 5.95\\\\v1 = 14.96

Therefore, the velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s
