a motorcycle accelerates from 15 m/s to 20 m/s over a distance of 50 meters. what is its average acceleration?

Tarzan (who has mass 80.0 kg) is running across the jungle floor with speed 7.00 m/s as

Lesechka [4]

We are given:

Mass of Tarzan before swinging = 80 kg

Mass of Tarzan when swinging = 80 + 15 = 95 kg

Velocity of Tarzan = 7 m/s

The height of the rock Tarzan's monkey is sitting on = 3 m

__________________________________________________________

Momentum of Tarzan before swinging:

We know that:

Momentum = Mass*Velocity

Momentum = 80 * 7

Momentum = 560 kg m/s

__________________________________________________________

Speed of Tarzan after grabbing the bananas:

The momentum of Tarzan will remain the same but his mass will increase

So, Since Momentum = New Mass* velocity

560 = 95 * v [where v is the velocity of Tarzan]

v = 5.9 m/s

__________________________________________________________

<h3>Finding the Initial and Final KE and PE:</h3>

Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy

Initial and Final KE:

We know that KE = 1/2*(mv²)

Initial KE:

Initial KE = 1/2*(mv²) [where v is the velocity after picking the bananas]

Initial KE = 1/2*(95*5.9²)

Initial KE = 1653.5 Joules

Final KE:

Final KE = 1/2*(mv²)

[where v is the velocity at the maximum point of the swing]

Since Tarzan will be at rest at the maximum point of the swing, v = 0 m/s

Final KE = 1/2*(95*0²)

Final KE = 0 Joules

Initial and Final PE:

We know that:

PE = mgh

[where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height]

Initial PE:

Since the height of Tarzan from the ground was 0 m at the beginning of the swing, h = 0

Initial PE = 95*10*0

Initial PE = 0 Joules

Final PE:

Let the maximum height of Tarzan be h m

Final PE = 95*10*h

Final PE = 950(h)

__________________________________________________________

<h3>Finding the maximum height Tarzan will reach:</h3>

Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy

From the law of conservation of momentum, we know that:

Initial KE + Initial PE = Final KE + Final PE

Replacing the variables:

1653.5 + 0 = 0 + 950h

1653.5 = 950h

h = 1653.5/950 [dividing both sides by 950]

h = 1.74 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by Tarzan is 1.74 m

but since his monkey is sitting 3 m high, he will NOT be able to reach his monkey

A revolutionary war cannon, with a mass of 2260 kg, fires a 15.5 kg ball horizontally. The cannonball has a speed of 109 m/s aft

Anton [14]

Answer:

The gain in velocity is 0.37m/s

Explanation:

We need solve this problem though the conservation of momentum. That is,

$m_1 v_1 = m_2 v_2$

$m_1=2260Kg\\m_2=15.5Kg\\v_2= 109m/s$

Using the equation to find $v_1$ ,

$v_1=\frac{m_2 v_2}{m_1}\\v_1=\frac{15.5*109}{2260}\\v_1= 0.7475$

Using the conservation of energy equation, we have,

$KE= \frac{1}{2}m*v^2$

$KE_{cball}=\frac{1}{2}(15.5)(109)^2=92077.75J$

$KE_{cannon}=\frac{1}{2}(2260)(0.7475)^2=631.39J$

$Total KE= 92077.75+13425530=92708.9J$

Now this energy over the cannonball

$KE=\frac{1}{2}m*v_2^2$

$92708.9=\frac{1}{2}15.5v_2^2$

$V_2 = 109.37m/s$

The gain in velocity is 0.37m/s

What do you need to know to be able to determine how far a projectile travels horizontally?

Effectus [21]

As for me, there are two suitable answers for the question represented above and here is a short explanation why I consider these two to be correct :
D. The horizontal velocity of the projectile and B. The length of time before it lands
 $v_x = v*cos(x) [

d_x = v_x(t) + ½at²$ -- this led me to answers! Hope everything is clear! Regards!

A _____ has to do with the direction of a force

Elenna [48]

Answer:

The "solid force"? ... The direction of the force always seems to be coming out of the solid surface. A direction which is perpendicular to the plane of a surface is said to be normal. The force that a solid surface exerts on anything in the normal direction is called the normal force.

Explanation:

i think i hope this helps
