Answer:

50 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0 m/s, t = 5 seconds, v = ? , g = 10 m/s^2

Use first equation of motion

v = u + g t

v = 0 + 10 x 5 = 50 m/s

Answer:

The rock's speed after 5 seconds is 98 m/s.

Explanation:

A rock is dropped off a cliff.

It had an initial velocity of 0 m/s. And now it is moving downwards under the influence of gravitational force with the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s².

Speed after 5 seconds = V

We know that acceleration = average speed/time

In our case,

g = ((0+V)/2)/5

9.8*5 = V/2

=> V = 2*9.8*5

V = 98 m/s

Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass $m_2$ and the 4kg mass $m_1$ . If the tension in the string is $T$ then for the mass $m_2$

(1). $T-m_2g=-m_2a$ <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>

And for the mass $m_1$

(2). $T-m_1g =m_1a$ <em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>

Solving for $T$ in the 2nd equation we get:

$T =m_1a+m_1g$ ,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

$m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g$

$\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}$

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

$a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g$

$a = \dfrac{g}{9},$

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

$L = 2683.2 kg m^2/s$

Part b)

$v' = 8.60 m/s$

Part c)

$W = 4326.7 J$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that there is no external torque on the system of two twins

so here we will use

$L = mv r + mvr$

$L = 2(78 \times 4.30 \times 4)$

$L = 2683.2 kg m^2/s$

Part b)

Since angular momentum is conserved here as there is no external torque

so we will have

$2(m v r) = 2( m v' \frac{r}{2})$

$v' = 2v$

$v' = 8.60 m/s$

Part c)

Work done by both of them = change in kinetic energy

so we have

$W = 2(\frac{1}{2}mv'^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2)$

$W = m(v'^2 - v^2)$

$W = 78(8.60^2 - 4.3^2)$

$W = 4326.7 J$
