The best answer is A) <span>keep moving at a constant velocity until some forces act on them

As the man you're probably tired of hearing about said:

"Every object persists in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless a new force acts upon it"
This is Isaac Newton's 1st law of motion, or the law of inertia.

Put more simply, objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and tend the maintain the same velocity (direction and speed) and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. </span>

A skateboarder travels on a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 3.6 m/s toward the south and a constant acceleration

Dimas [21]

Answer:

a) The x-position of the skateboarder is 0.324 meters.

b) The y-position of the skateboarder is -2.16 meters.

c) The x-velocity of the skateboard is 1.08 meters per second.

d) The y-velocity of the skateboard is -3.6 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) The x-position of the skateboarder is determined by the following expression:

$x(t) = x_{o} + v_{o,x}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot a_{x} \cdot t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$x_{o}$ - Initial x-position, in meters.

$v_{o,x}$ - Initial x-velocity, in meters per second.

$t$ - Time, in seconds.

$a_{x}$ - x-acceleration, in meters per second.

If we know that $x_{o} = 0\,m$ , $v_{o,x} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $t = 0.60\,s$ and $a_{x} = 1.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the x-position of the skateboarder is:

$x(t) = 0\,m + \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (0.60\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(1.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (0.60\,s)^{2}$

$x(t) = 0.324\,m$

The x-position of the skateboarder is 0.324 meters.

b) The y-position of the skateboarder is determined by the following expression:

$y(t) = y_{o} + v_{o,y}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot a_{y} \cdot t^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}$ - Initial y-position, in meters.

$v_{o,y}$ - Initial y-velocity, in meters per second.

$t$ - Time, in seconds.

$a_{y}$ - y-acceleration, in meters per second.

If we know that $y_{o} = 0\,m$ , $v_{o,y} = -3.6\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $t = 0.60\,s$ and $a_{y} = 0\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the x-position of the skateboarder is:

$y(t) = 0\,m + \left(-3.6\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (0.60\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (0.60\,s)^{2}$

$y(t) = -2.16\,m$

The y-position of the skateboarder is -2.16 meters.

c) The x-velocity of the skateboarder ( $v_{x}$ ), in meters per second, is calculated by this kinematic formula:

$v_{x}(t) = v_{o,x} + a_{x}\cdot t$ (3)

If we know that $v_{o,x} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $t = 0.60\,s$ and $a_{x} = 1.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the x-velocity of the skateboarder is:

$v_{x}(t) = \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right) + \left(1.8\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (0.60\,s)$

$v_{x}(t) = 1.08\,\frac{m}{s}$

The x-velocity of the skateboard is 1.08 meters per second.

d) As the skateboarder has a constant y-velocity, then we have the following answer:

$v_{y} = -3.6\,\frac{m}{s}$

The y-velocity of the skateboard is -3.6 meters per second.

What are the major components of a truss bridge?

Olin [163]

Answer:

In a truss bridge, two long - usually straight members known as chords - form the top and bottom; they are connected by a web of vertical posts and diagonals. The bridge is supported at the ends by abutments and sometimes in the middle by piers.
