Answer:
83,900 J
Explanation:
First, find the acceleration:
F = ma
1150 N = (1600 kg) a
a = 0.719 m/s²
Now find the final velocity.
Given:
Δx = 45.8 m
v₀ = 6.25 m/s
a = 0.719 m/s²
Find: v
v² = v₀² + 2aΔx
v² = (6.25 m/s)² + 2 (0.719 m/s²) (45.8 m)
v = 10.2 m/s
Now find the final KE:
KE = ½ mv²
KE = ½ (1600 kg) (10.2 m/s)²
KE = 83,920 J
Rounded to three significant figures, the final kinetic energy is 83,900 J.
Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.
Explanation:
Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.
then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:
a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)
Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0
Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.
if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s
and:
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t
Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)
And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.
You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)
The stake, height and tether length of the tent form a right angle triangle where the tether length is the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem:
length² = height² + (stake distance)²
length = √(8² + 2²)
length = 8.5 feet
Answer:
Acceleration (a) = 40 m/s²
Explanation:
Given:
Initial velocity (u) = 6 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 4.4 m/s
Time taken (t) = 0.04sec
Find:
Acceleration (a) = ?
Computation:
We know that,
⇒ v = u + at
⇒ a = (v - u) / t
⇒ Acceleration (a) = (4.4 - 6) / 0.04
⇒ Acceleration (a) = (-1.6) / 0.04
Acceleration (a) = 40 m/s²
Answer:
m = 95000 kg
Explanation:
Given that,
Net force acting on the house, F = 2850 N
Initial speed, u = 0
Final speed, v = 15 cm/s = 0.15 m/s
We need to find the mass of the house. Let the mass be m. We know that the net force is given by :
F = ma
Where
a is the acceleration of the house.
So,

So, the mass of the house is equal to 95000 kg.
