what is the acceleration of an object that moves at a constant velocity of 2.0 meters per second for 5 seconds?

1 answer:

3 0

Constant velocity means moving in a straight line at a speed that doesn't change. If the object is moving with constant velocity then its acceleration is zero. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity is changing.

A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass

makkiz [27]

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s$

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s

An object on a planet has a mass of 243 kg. What is the acceleration of the

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of a planet of mass M and radius R

a = G*M/R^2.

In this case we have:

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N (m/kg)^2

R = 2.32 x 10^7 m

M = 6.35 x 10^30 kg

Now we can compute:

a = (6.67*6.35/2.32^2)x10^(-11 + 30 - 2*7) m/s^2 = 786,907.32 m/s^2

The acceleration does not depend on the mass of the object.
