The 2nd Law says F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is mass and a is acceleration. Earth's gravity is an acceleration, 9.8m/s^2. So you can solve the equation for mass, m=F/a, or m=F/9.8 where you've measured the force (weight) in Newtons.
Answer:
37.125 m
Explanation:
Using the equation of motion
s=ut+0.5at^{2} where s is distance, u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration
<u>Distance during acceleration</u>
Acceleration, a=\frac {V_{final}-V_{initial}}{t} where V_{final} is final velocity and V_{initial} is initial velocity.
Substituting 0.0 m/s for initial velocity and 4.5 m/s for final velocity, acceleration will be
a=\frac {4.5 m/s-0 m/s}{4.5 s}=1 m/s^{2}
Then substituting u for 0 m/s, t for 4.5 s and a for 1 m/s^{2} into the equation of motion
s=0*4.5+ 0.5*1*4.5^{2}=0+10.125
=10.125 m
<u>Distance at a constant speed</u>
At a constant speed, there's no acceleration and since speed=distance/time then distance is speed*time
Distance=4.5 m/s*6 s=27 m
<u>Total distance</u>
Total=27+10.125=37.125 m
Answer:
a = 2 m/s^2
which agrees with the third answer option provided.
Explanation:
Recall the kinematic formula for displacement under the action of a constant acceleration "a":
yf - yi = 1/2 a t^2
using the information provided this equation becomes:
9 = 1/2 a (3)^2
solve for a:
9 * 2 / 9 = a
then a = 2 m/s^2
which agrees with the third answer option provided.
I believe the answer is B.
