Answer:

(a) 8.117 (b) 0.742m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given distance s =40 m time t=7.5 sec

Final velocity v =2.55 m/sec

From the first equation of motion v=u-at (negative sign because there is retrdation as the truck speed is slowing down )

So 2.55=u-7.5a --------------eqn 1

From the second equation of motion s=ut-\frac{1}{2}at^2 ( negative sign because there is retrdation as the truck speed is slowing down )

So 40=7.5u-0.5\times a\times 7.5^2

40=7.5u-28.125a------------------eqn 2

On solving eqn1 and eqn 2

u=8.117 m/sec and a=-0.742m/sec^2

The two forces acting on a skydiver are __________ and air _____________.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Gravity and

Air resistance

Explanation:

The two forces acting on a skydiver are gravitational force and air resistance.

Gravitational force is a force that tends to pull all massive bodies towards the center of the earth. It works on all bodies that has mass. The larger or bigger the mass, the more the pull of gravity on the body.

Air resistance is the drag of air on a body as it passes to it. It is resisting force.

  • When a sky diver jumps out of a plane, he/she encounters both gravity and air resistance.
  • It soon balances both force and attain terminal velocity.
  • Air resistance is a frictional force that opposes motion.
  • This frictional force pushes in the opposite direction of motion
  • Motion direction is downward due to the celerity caused by gravity.

How are stars formed and classified?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Stars form from an accumulation of gas and dust, which collapses due to gravity and starts to form stars. Stars are typically classified by their spectrum in what is known as the Morgan-Keenan or MK system.

a 1.2x10^3 kilogram car is accelerated uniformly from 10. meters per second to 20 meters per second in 5.0 seconds. what is the
irinina [24]
Force , F = ma

F =  m(v - u)/t               

Where m = mass in kg, v= final velocity in m/s, u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time, Force is in Newton.

m= 1.2*10³ kg,  u = 10 m/s,  v = 20 m/s, t = 5s

F =  1.2*10³(20 - 10)/5

F = 2.4*10³ N = 2400 N

What is the acceleration of a 10 kg mass pushed 5 n forceushed by a 5n(kg-m/s2) (use gresa method)
Pepsi [2]

In this problem,

Applied force(F) = 10 N

The object’s mass (m) is 5 kg.

Having said that,

An object’s force is equal to the product of its mass and the acceleration it experiences as a result of the applied force.

i.e., Mass + Acceleration = Force (a)

F= m×a

Therefore,

A= F÷m

A= (10÷5) m/sec²

A= 2 m/sec²

Consequently, the object’s acceleration,

A=2 m/sec²

Concept of force and acceleration:

This states that the rate of velocity change of an object is directly proportional to the applied force and moves in the direction of the applied force.

It can be expressed mathematically as force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s2). Therefore, an object with constant mass will accelerate in direct proportion to the applied force.
