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 sled with no initial velocity accelerates at a rate of 3.2 m/s2 down a hill. How long does it take the sled to go 15 m to the

grin007 [14]

S = ut + 1/2 at^2
a = 3.2 m/s^2
s = 15m
Find t
15 = 1/2(3.2)t^2
15 = 3.2t^2/2
30 = 3.2t^2
30/ 3.2 = 9.38
Square root of 9.38 = 3.06
It takes 3.06 seconds

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

$v_{ic}=92.53 m/s$

Explanation:

We need to apply conservation of momentum and energy to solve this problem.

Conservation of momentum

$p_{i}=p_{f}$

$m_{c}v_{ic}=(m_{c}+m_{w})V$ (1)

m(c) is the mass of stick clay
m(w) is the mass of the wooden block
v(ic) is the initial velocity of clay
V is the final velocity of the system clay plus wood.

Conservation of total energy

The change in kinetic energy is equal to the change in internal energy, in our case it would be the energy loss due to the friction force. Let's recall the definition of work, it is the dot product between force and displacement, Therefore:

$\Delta E=W$

$\frac{1}{2}(m_{c}+m_{w})V^{2}=F_{friction}*d$

$\frac{1}{2}(m_{c}+m_{w})V^{2}=\mu (m_{c}+m_{w})gd$

We can find V from this equation:

$V=\sqrt{2\mu gd}=\sqrt{2*0.65*9.81*7.5}=9.78 m/s$

Now, let's put V into the equation (1) and find v(ic)

$v_{ic}=\frac{(m_{c}+m_{w})V}{m_{c}}=\frac{123*9.78}{13}=92.53 m/s$

I hope it helps you!

Which instrument measure the intensity of sound

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Decibel Meter

A decibel meter is a measuring instrument used to assess noise or sound levels by measuring sound pressure. Often referred to as a sound pressure level (SPL) meter, decibel (dB) meter, noise meter or noise dosimeter, a sound level meter uses a microphone to capture sound.
