Answer: acceleration = slope graph velocity vs time

Explanation: if you have the graph of velocity vs time , the slope of that graph equals the acceleration of our object assuming constant acceleration...but remenber por a real object is really hard to keep constant acceleration

Explanation:

The velocity vs time graph is used to find the acceleration of an object. The slope of a graph is given by :

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Also, the rate of change of velocity is called the acceleration of an ball.

So, the slope of velocity time graph is used to estimate the acceleration of the ball.

A car accelerates from 13 m/s to 25 m/s in 5.0 s. assume constant acceleration. what was its acceleration?

natima [27]

a = 25-13/6 = 12/6 = 2 m/s^2
Av speed: 25+13/2 = 38/2 = 19 m/sec
Dist = speed * time
19 * 6 = 114 meters

Answer:

They are 7.4m apart.

Explanation:

Here we have a parabolic motion problem. we need the time taken to land so:

$Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$

considerating only the movement on Y axis:

$0=4.6-(9.81)*t^2\\t=0.68s$

Because we have a contant velocity motion on X axis:

$xs=vs*t\\xs=17m/s*(0.68s)\\xs=11.6m$

and

$xg=vg*t\\xg=28m/s*(0.68s)\\xg=19m$

the distance between them is given by:

$d=|xg-xs|\\d=7.4m$

A brick and a feather fall to the earth at their respective terminal velocities. Which objectexperiences the greater force of ai

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.

Explanation:

Objects at terminal velocity, only under the influence of gravity, have maximized their speed and have an acceleration of zero. Thus, neither object is accelerating.

Recall Newton's second law: $\sum {\vec {F}}=m \vec {a}$

Since acceleration for each object is zero, the sum of the force acting on each of those objects must also be zero.

Since the only forces acting on the objects are gravity and the force of air friction, in order to zero out, the force of air friction must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity.

Recall that near the surface of the earth, $F_{gravity}=mg$ , so the Force of Gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to the object's mass. (A similar argument could be made even if this were not taking place on the surface of the earth, so long as the objects were the same distance from the object providing gravitational influence).

If the masses of the objects are different, the object with the greater mass will experience a larger force of gravity, and hence a larger force of air friction at terminal velocity.

Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.

CISTU U

marusya05 [52]

solution:

radius of steel ball(r)=5cm=0.05m

density of ball =8000kgm

terminal velocity(v)=25m/s^2

density of air( d) =1.29 kgm

now

volume of ball(V)=4/3pir^3=1.33×3.14×0.05^3=0.00052 m^3

density of ball= mass of ball/Volume of ball

or, 8000=m/0.00052

or, m=4.16 kg

weight of the ball (W)= mg=4.16×10=41.6 N

viscous force(F)=6 × pi × eta × r × v

=6×3.14×eta×0.05×25

=23.55×eta

To attain the terminal velocity,

Fiscous force=Weight

or, 23.55× eta = 41.6

or, eta = 1.76

whete eta is the coefficient of viscosity.
