An object at rest starts accelerating.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

We are given:

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

displacement (s) = 20 m

acceleration (a) = a m/s/s

Solving for 'a'

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(10)² - (0)² = 2(a)(20)

100 = 40a

a = 100 / 40

a = 2.5 m/s²

A space station, in the form of a wheel 140 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 3.90 m/s2 for persons w

Zigmanuir [339]

Radial acceleration is given by

$a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where

$v=r \omega$
then

$a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2$

Now

$70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2} \\ \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }$

Using the relation

$\omega=2 \pi f$

$2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\ \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz$

Putting into rpm

$\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm$

A projectile is fired from the ground at a velocity of 30.0 m/s, 35.0 º from the horizontal. What is the maximum height the proj

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Vy = V sin theta = 30 * ,574 = 17.2 m/s

t1 = 17.2 / 9.8 = 1.76 sec to reach max height

Max height = 17.2 * 1.76 - 1/2 * 4.9 * 1.76^2 = 15.1 m

H = V t - 1/2 g t^2 = 1.2 * 9.8 * 1.76^2 = 15.1 m

Time to fall from zero speed to ground = rise time = 1.76 sec

Vx = V cos 35 = 24.6 m / sec horizontal speed

Time in air = 1.76 * 2 = 3.52 sec before returning to ground

S = 24.6 * 3.52 = 86.6 m
