Hi! Let me help you!
a = (Vf - Vi)/t ; where distance d = [2(t)]/(4+t), t = 5secs, and Vi = 0 
a = [(2t)/(4+t)]/t <---- working equation
a = {[2(5)]/9}/5 <---- cancel 5
a = 2/9 ft/s^2 <---- Answer

(i). A ball of mass 1.500 kg is attached to the end of a cord 1.50 m long. The ball moves in a horizontal circle. If the cord ca
Aleks04 [339]

(a) Let v be the maximum linear speed with which the ball can move in a circle without breaking the cord. Its centripetal/radial acceleration has magnitude

a_{\rm rad} = \dfrac{v^2}R

where R is the radius of the circle.

The tension in the cord is what makes the ball move in its plane. By Newton's second law, the maximum net force on it is

F = (1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) a_{\rm rad}

so that

(1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) \dfrac{v^2}{1.50\,\rm m} = 64.0\,\mathrm N

Solve for v :

v^2 = \dfrac{(64.0\,\mathrm N)(1.50\,\mathrm m)}{1.500\,\rm kg} \\\\ \implies \boxed{v = 8.00 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

(b) The net force equation in part (a) leads us to the relation

F = \dfrac{mv^2}R \implies v = \sqrt{\dfrac{FR}m}

so that v is directly proportional to the square root of R. As the radius R increases, the maximum linear speed v will also increase, so the cord is less likely to break if we keep up the same speed.

A box accidentally drops from a truck traveling at a speed of 20.0 m/s and slides along the ground for a distance of 30.0 m Calc
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

The initial speed of the box ,u= 20 m/s

The final speed of the box ,v=  0 m/s

The distance cover by box ,s= 30 m

Lets take the acceleration of the box = a

We know that

v²= u ² + 2 a s

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

0²=20² + 2 a x 30

a=- \dfrac{20^2}{2\times 30} \ m/s^2

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Negative sign indicates that velocity and acceleration are in opposite direction.

Therefore the acceleration of the box will be  - 6.667 m/s² .

What determines velocity rather than speed??
Stella [2.4K]
Velocity - <span><span>the speed of something in a given direction
Speed - </span></span><span>rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness; <span>celerity
Velocity is the speed in a certain direction, whereas speed is just the rate of fastness.
Does that make sense?

You drive your car 3 hrs at an average of 130 km how far did you go
Bingel [31]
You have traveled 390 km. In order to find your answer all you have to do is multiply your speed which is 130 km/h by 3 hrs. That's my friend is how you get your answer! Have a great day!

Each second, 1250 m3 of water passes over a waterfall 150 m high. Three-fourths of the kinetic energy gained by the water in fal
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The generator produces electrical energy at a rate of 1378125000 J per second.

Explanation:

volume of water falling each second is 1250 m^{3}

height through which it falls, h is 150 m

mass of 1 m^{3} of water is 1000 kg

⇒mass of 1250 m^{3} of water, m = 1250×1000 = 1250000 kg

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

in falling through 150 m in each second, by Work-Energy Theorem:

Kinetic Energy(KE) gained by it = Potential Energy(PE) lost by it

⇒KE = mgh

        = 1250000×9.8×150 J

        = 1837500000 J

Electrical Energy = \frac{3}{4}(KE)

                            = \frac{3}{4}×1837500000

                            = <u>1378125000 J per second</u>
