Answer:

8 m west

Explanation:

If we say east is the +x direction, and west is the -x direction, then the displacement is:

Δx = 12 m + (-20 m)

Δx = -8 m

A stone is dropped from a bridge abd it hits the water 2.2 seconds later how high is the bridge above the water

Bess [88]

Answer:

h = 23.716 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The time taken by the stone to hit the water is, t = 2.2 s

Height of the bridge above the ground, h = ?

The distance that the body will fall through the time is given by the formula

S = 1/2 gt² m

Where,

g - acceleration due to gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation

S = 1/2 x 9.8 m/s² x (2.2 s)²

= 23.716 m

Therefore, the height of the bridge from the surface of the water is h = 23.716 m

A crate rests on a flatbed truck which is initially traveling at 17.9 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and the

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.

Explanation:

The minimum coefficient of friction required to keep the crate from sliding can be found as follows:

$-F_{f} + F = 0$

$-F_{f} + ma = 0$

$\mu mg = ma$

$\mu = \frac{a}{g}$

Where:

μ: is the coefficient of friction

m: is the mass of the crate

g: is the gravity

a: is the acceleration of the truck

The acceleration of the truck can be found by using the following equation:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad$

$a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2d}$

Where:

d: is the distance traveled = 46.1 m

$v_{f}$ : is the final speed of the truck = 0 (it stops)

$v_{0}$ : is the initial speed of the truck = 17.9 m/s

$a = \frac{-(17.9 m/s)^{2}}{2*46.1 m} = -3.48 m/s^{2}$

If we take the reference system on the crate, the force will be positive since the crate will feel the movement in the positive direction.

$\mu = \frac{a}{g}$

$\mu = \frac{3.48 m/s^{2}}{9.81 m/s^{2}}$

$\mu = 0.35$

Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.

I hope it helps you!

Part A

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Using the formula, v = u + at ( v = Final velocity; u = Initial velocity; t = Time; a = Acceleration)

25 = 0 + 10a

a = 25/10 = 2.5 m/s²
