A.
the force of inertia acting on the pool cue

B.
the displacement of the pool ball

C.

Assuming that the pool hall is located somewhere on Earth,
you don't need any additional information.  In fact, you already
have more than you need.

              Weight = (mass) times (acceleration of gravity) .

The question tells you the mass of the ball, and everybody
knows that the acceleration of gravity on Earth is  9.8 m/s² .
So the weight of the ball is

       (0.25 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)  =  2.45 newtons.

I suppose if you momentarily forgot the acceleration of gravity,
then you'd need somebody to remind you, and that would be
choice 'C', but it would not have to be in m/s².  It could be in
any convenient units of acceleration, and you could easily
convert it to  m/s²  before doing the calculation.

A small truck has a mass of 2145 kg. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from 25.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s on
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Explanation:

Work is defined in physics as the force that is applied to a body to move it from one point to another.

The total work W done on an object to move from one position A to another B is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. That is, work is also defined as the change in the kinetic energy of an object.

Kinetic energy (Ec) depends on the mass and speed of the body. This energy is calculated by the expression:

Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}

where kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), mass in kilograms (kg), and velocity in meters per second (m/s).

The work (W) of this force is equal to the difference between the final value and the initial value of the kinetic energy of the particle:

W=\frac{1}{2} *m*v2^{2}-\frac{1}{2} *m*v1^{2}

W=\frac{1}{2} *m*(v2^{2}-v1^{2})

In this case:

  • W=?
  • m= 2,145 kg
  • v2= 12 \frac{m}{s}
  • v1= 25 \frac{m}{s}

Replacing:

W=\frac{1}{2} *2145 kg*((12\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(25\frac{m}{s} )^{2})

W= -515,872.5 J

<u><em>The work required is -515,872.5 J</em></u>

When a mass M hangs from a vertical wire of length L, waves travel on this wire with a speed V. What will be the speed of these
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

a)  v = 0.7071 v₀, b) v= v₀, c)  v = 0.577 v₀, d)   v = 1.41 v₀, e)  v = 0.447 v₀

Explanation:

The speed of a wave along an eta string given by the expression

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{ \mu } }

where T is the tension of the string and μ is linear density

a) the mass of the cable is double

          m = 2m₀

let's find the new linear density

          μ = m / l

iinitial density

          μ₀ = m₀ / l

final density

          μ = 2m₀ / lo

          μ = 2 μ₀

we substitute in the equation for the velocity

initial            v₀ = \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{ \mu_o} }

with the new dough

                    v = \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{ 2 \mu_o} }

                    v = 1 /√2  \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{ \mu_o} }

                    v = 1 /√2 v₀

                    v = 0.7071 v₀

b) we double the length of the cable

If the cable also increases its mass, the relationship is maintained

              μ = μ₀

   in this case the speed does not change

c) the cable l = l₀ and m = 3m₀

we look for the density

           μ = 3m₀ / l₀

           μ = 3 m₀/l₀

           μ = 3 μ₀

            v = \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{ 3 \mu_o} }

            v = 1 /√3  v₀

            v = 0.577 v₀

d) l = 2l₀

            μ = m₀ / 2l₀

            μ = μ₀/ 2

           v = \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{ \frac{ \mu_o}{2} } }

           v = √2 v₀

            v = 1.41 v₀

e) m = 10m₀ and l = 2l₀

we look for the density

             μ = 10 m₀/2l₀

             μ = 5 μ₀

we look for speed

             v = \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{5 \mu_o} }

             v = 1 /√5  v₀

             v = 0.447 v₀

A wheel that was initially spinning is accelerated at a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s^2. After 8.0 s, the wheel is
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a)  Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) Final angular speed = 70 rad/s        

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

    Here s = 400 radians

              t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²

    Substituting

             400 = u x 8 + 0.5 x 5 x 8²

              u = 30 rad/s

   Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Here u = 30 rad/s

               t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²  

    Substituting

             v = 30 + 5 x 8 = 70 rad/s    

   Final angular speed = 70 rad/s
