A car speeds up from rest to +16 m/ s in 4s. calculate the acceleration
Pani-rosa [81]

The magnitude of acceleration is (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning) =

                                   (16 m/s)  -  (0)  =  16 m/s .

Time for the change  =  4 s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (16 m/s) / (4 s) = 4 m/s per sec = 4 m/s² .

If 27 J of work are needed to stretch a spring from 15 cm to 21 cm and 45 J are needed to stretch it from 21 cm to 27 cm, what i
kupik [55]

Answer:

9 cm.

Explanation:

The energy used for stretch the spring from 15 cm to 21 cm will be , E_{1}=27J

The energy used for stretch the spring from 21 cm to 27 cm will be , E_{2}=45J

using the energy of spring formula ,we find that

27 = \frac{1}{2}K((21-L^{2})-(15-L^{2}))

45 = \frac{1}{2}K((27-L^{2})-(21-L^{2}))

Dividing both the equation will get,

\frac{3}{5}=\frac{(21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2}}{(27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2}}\\5((21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2})=3((27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2})\\3(729 - 54L + L^{2}- 441 + 42L - L^{2} ) = 5(441 - 42L + L^{2} - 225 + 30L - L^{2} )\\3(288 - 12L) = 5(216 - 12L)\\24L = 216\\L = 9 cm

Therefore, the natural length of the spring is, 9 cm.

A gray kangaroo can bound across level ground with each jump carrying it 8.7 from the takeoff point. Typically the kangaroo leav
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

a) The takeoff speed is 10 m/s.

b) The maximum height above the ground is 1.2 m.

Explanation:

The position of the kangaroo and its velocity at any given time "t" can be calculated by the following equations:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

v =(v0 · cos α, v0 · sin α + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time "t".

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial velocity.

α = jumping angle.

y0 = initial vertical position.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity vector at time "t"

a) Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem. In red is depicted the position vector at the final time (r final). The components of r final are known:

r final = (8.7 m, 0 m)

Then at final time:

8.7 m = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

0 m = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

(notice in the figure that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the jumping point so that x0 and y0 = 0). Then:

8.7 m = v0 · t · cos α

Solving for "v0":

8.7 m /(t · cos α) = v0

Replacing v0 in the equation of the y-component, we can obtain the final time:

0 m = 8.7 m · tan 29° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t² (remember: sin α / cos α = tan α)

- 8.7 m · tan 29° / -4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 0.99 s

Now, we can calculate the initial speed:

8.7 m /t · cos α = v0

v0 = 8.7 m / (0.99 s · cos 29°)

<u>v0 = 10 m/s</u>

The takeoff speed is 10 m/s

b) When the kangaroo is at its maximum height, the velocity vector is horizontal (see figure). That means that the y-component of the velocity at that time is 0:

0 = v0 · sin α + g · t

Solving for "t":

-v0 · sin α / g = t

t = - 10 m/s · sin 29° / 9.8 m/s²

t = 0.49 s

Notice that we could have halved the final time (0.99 s, calculated above) to obtain the time at which the kangaroo is at its maximum height. That´s because the trajectory is parabolic.

Now, let´s find the height of the kangaroo at that time:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 10 m/s · 0.49 s · sin 29° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (0.49 s)²

<u>y = 1.2 m</u>

The maximum height above the ground is 1.2 m.
