Assume the acceleration of the object is a(t) = −9.8 meters per second per second. (Neglect air resistance.) With what initial v
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Vi = 94.64 m/s

Explanation:

I order to find out the initial velocity of the object, we can use third equation of motion:

2ah = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = acceleration = -9.8 m/s²

h = maximum height covered by object = 460 m - 3 m = 457 m

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, object momentarily stops at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

Therefore,

2(-9.8 m/s²)(457 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²

Vi = √8957.2 m²/s²

<u>Vi = 94.64 m/s</u>

The truck in which
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

m = 4

Explanation:

We have,

You apply a force of  600 N to the branch  which acts as a lever. It means it is input force, IF = 600 N

The rear of the truck  weighs 2,400 N. It means it is output force, OF = 2400 N

The ratio of output force to the input force is equal to the mechanical advantage of the lever arm. It is given by :

m=\dfrac{2400}{600}\\\\m=4

So, the mechanical  gain of the lever arm is 4.

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a) 2nd case rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball

b) 1534.98 m/s^2

c) 1515.04 m/s^2

Explanation:

(a) v = ωR

when R = 0.60, ω = 8.05×2π

v = 0.60×8.05×2π = 30.34 m/s

Now in 2nd case

when R = 0.90, ω = 6.53×2π

v = 0.90×6.53×2π = 36.92 m/s

6.35 rev/s gives greater speed for the ball.

(b) a = ω^2 R = (8.05×2π)^2 )(0.60) = 1534.98 m/s^2

(c) a = ω^2 R = (6.53×2π)^2 )(0.90) = 1515.05 m/s^2
