Answer:

a) After 26.67 seconds it returns back to the origin

b) Velocity when it returns to the origin = 60 m/s in the -x direction

Explanation:

a) Let the starting position be origin and time be t.

  After time t displacement, s = 0 m

  Initial velocity, u = 60 m/s

  Acceleration, a = -4.5 m/s²

 We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

 Substituting

        s = ut + 0.5 at²

        0 = 60 x t + 0.5 x (-4.5) x t²        

        2.25t² - 60 t = 0

        t² - 26.67 t = 0

        t (t-26.67) = 0

      t = 0s or t = 26.67 s

So after 26.67 seconds it returns back to the origin

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

  Initial velocity, u = 60 m/s

  Acceleration, a = -4.5 m/s²

  Time , t = 26.67

 Substituting

        v = 60 - 4.5 x 26.67 = -60 m/s

Velocity when it returns to the origin = 60 m/s in the -x direction

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m  - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j   + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?
Ad libitum [116K]

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges  but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in  a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet,  and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

PLEASE HELP!
Anna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

At constant pressure , work done by gas = P x ΔV where P is pressure and ΔV is change in volume

ΔV = 9.2 - 5.6 = 3.6 L

3.6 L = 3.6 x 10⁻³ m³

ΔV = 3.6 x 10⁻³ m³

P = 3.7 x 10³ Pa

So work done

= 3.7 x 10³ x 3.6 x 10⁻³ J

= 13.32 J .

( c ) is the answer , because work is done by the gas so it will be positive.
