(a) what is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated? (select all that apply.)

1 answer:

6 0

since child is moving along with the wagon and we need to find the acceleration of child inside that wagon then in this case the system of interest must be child + wagon

System of interest will be the system that is used to find the force or acceleration using Newton's law

Here we have to assume that system on which if we will calculate the forces then the net value of force on that system will help to calculate the unknown quantities

So here our system will be boy + wagon

Explain why a moving object cannot come to a stop instantaneously (in zero seconds). Hint: Think about the acceleration that wou

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=maSo when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, mv⃗ mv→, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/hHowever, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which characteristic?

Alenkasestr [34]

1) C. velocity

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. In formulas:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

Therefore, the correct answer is C. velocity.

2) A. 9.8m/s/s

Earth's gravity is a force, so it produces an acceleration on every object with mass located on the Earth's surface. This acceleration can be calculated, as it is given by the formula

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ is the Earth's mass

$r=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ is the Earth's radius

By substituting these numbers into the formula, one can find that the acceleration due to Earth's gravity is $g=9.81 m/s^2$ .

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile that has been waiting at an intersection starts ahead with a constan

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

(A) Distance taken by automobile to overtake truck is 175.23 m

(B) Final speed of the automobile is 29.6 m/s.

Explanation:

According to the problem, the automobile is at rest, so its initial speed is zero and the automobile is moving with constant acceleration.

The general equation of motion is:

d = ut + 0.5at² .....(1)

Here d is distance, a is acceleration, t is time and u is initial speed.

The distance (d₁) travel by the automobile after green light in time t is given by the relation :

d₁ = u₁t + 0.5at²

We know that its initial velocity is zero i.e. u = 0 m/s.

d₁ = 0.5at² ......(2)

The truck is moving with constant speed, so its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the distance covered by the truck using equation (1) is;

d₂ = u₂t .......(3)

Since, the distance travelled by automobile and truck are same. Hence,

d₁ = d₂

0.5at² = u₂t

t = 2u₂/a

Substitute 14.8 m/s for u₂ and 2.50 m/s² for a in the above equation.

t = $\frac{2\times14.8}{2.50}$

t = 11.84 s

(A) Distance travelled by automobile, d = u₂t =14.8 x 11.84 = 175.23 m

(B) Final speed of the automobile is given by the relation:

v = u + at

v = 0 + 2.50 x 11.84

v = 29.6 m/s

if you throw a rock straight up at a speed of 19m/s. How long goes it take the ball to reach its maximum height?

Scrat [10]

Answer:

It requires 1.9 seconds to reach maximum height.

Explanation:

As per given question,

Initial velocity (U) =19 m/s

Final velocity (V) = 0 m/s

$\text { Taking acceleration due to gravity }(a)=10 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Maximum height = S

Time taken is "t"

Calculating time taken to reach maximum height:

We know that time taken to reach the maximum height is calculated by using the formula V = U + at

Substitute the given values in the above equation.

Final velocity is “0” as there is no velocity at the maximum height.

$0=19+10 \times t$

$-19=10 \times t$

$\frac{-19}{10}=t$

t = 1.9 seconds.

The time taken to reach maximum height is 1.9 seconds.

Calculating maximum height:

$\text { Consider the equation } V^{2}-U^{2}=2 a S$

Solving the equation we will get the value of S

$0-19^{2}=2 \times(-10) \times \mathrm{S} .(-\text { is due to opposite of gravity) }$

-361 = -20S

Negative sign cancel both the sides.

$\mathrm{S}=\frac{361}{20}$

S = 18.05 m

Maximum height is 18.05 m .
