An object is traveling at 15 m/s and then after 5 seconds ends up traveling at 10 m/s. Calculate the speeds acceleration rate. W

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

1) a = -1 m/s²

2) v = 12 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the object, u = 15 m/s

The final velocity of the object, v = 10 m/s

The time taken by the object to travel is, t = 5 s

Using the first equation of motion

a = (v - u) / t

Substituting the values

a = (10 - 15) / 5

= -1 m/s²

The negative sign indicates the body is decelerating

The acceleration of the object is, a = -1 m/s²

The speed of the object after 2 seconds

From the above equations of motion

v = 15 + (-1) 2

= 12 m/s

Hence, the speed of the object after 2 seconds is, v = 12 m/s

Two climbers are on a mountain. Simon, of mass m, is sitting on a snow covered slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is required that the weight of Joe must prevent Simon from being pulled down . That means he is not slipping down but tends to be towed down . So in equilibrium , force of friction will act in upward direction on Simon.

Let in equilibrium , tension in rope be T

For balancing Joe

T = M g

For balancing Simon

friction + T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+Mg = mgsinθ

M = (msinθ - μmcosθ)

M = m(sinθ - μcosθ)

Explain why your hands feel cool if they get wet?

Furkat [3]

Answer:

How hot or cold you feel depends on the rate at which your body is losing heat to the environment

Water on your skin acts pretty much like sweat. Water is more thermally conductive than air; therefore, the skin loses its heat to it much faster than it would to air.

Also, because water evaporates, it carries heat away from the skin and this increases the rate at which the skin loses its heat. The faster heat loss from the skin to water is what makes us feel cold when we are wet. But of course, the temperature of water has to be lower than the skin for this to occur, which is usually the case.

Elastic Potential Energy: $\displaystyle U_s = \frac{1}{2} k \triangle x^2$

U is energy (in J)
k is spring constant (in N/m)
Δx is displacement from equilibrium (in m)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

k = 7.50 N/m

Δx = 0.40 m

<u>Step 2: Find Potential Energy</u>

Substitute in variables [Elastic Potential Energy]: $\displaystyle U_s = \frac{1}{2} (7.50 \ N/m) (0.40 \ m)^2$
Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle U_s = \frac{1}{2} (7.50 \ N/m) (0.16 \ m^2)$
Multiply: $\displaystyle U_s = (3.75 \ N/m) (0.16 \ m^2)$
Multiply: $\displaystyle U_s = 0.6 \ J$
