Average acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Average acceleration =

(speed at the end of the 14 seconds) / (14 seconds)

A ball is tossed in the air and released. It moves up, reverses direction, falls back down again, and is caught at the same heig
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The potential energy has a  maximum when the ball is a time that is half of the time for total travel

Explanation:

Generally potential energy is a the varies directly with the height according to this formula

            PE =mgh

and the ball attains a maximum height when the time is equal to half of the total time taken to travel

What is meant by fundamental unit? write any two difference between mass and weight.​
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Fundamental unit is any unit that is not dependent on other units and other units can be derived from them

Explanation:

Units such as Kilogram, Mass and Time are said to be fundamental units because they are independent.

Differences between Mass and weight;

1. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass.

2. Mass is a scalar quantity while weight is a vector quantity

Human reaction times are worsened by alcohol. How much further (in feet) would a drunk driver's car travel before he hits the br
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

A drunk driver's car travel 49.13 ft further than a sober driver's car, before it hits the brakes

Explanation:

Distance covered by the car after application of brakes, until it stops can be found by using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

s = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a

where,  

Vf = Final Velocity of Car = 0 mi/h

Vi = Initial Velocity of Car = 50 mi/h

a = deceleration of car  

s = distance covered

Vf, Vi and a for both drivers is same as per the question. Therefore, distance covered by both car after application of brakes will also be same.

So, the difference in distance covered occurs before application of brakes during response time. Since, the car is in uniform speed before applying brakes. Therefore, following equation shall be used:

s = vt

FOR SOBER DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 0.33 s

s = s₁

Therefore,

s₁ = (73.33 ft/s)(0.33 s)

s₁ = 24.2 ft

FOR DRUNK DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 1 s

s = s₂

Therefore,

s₂ = (73.33 ft/s)(1 s)

s₂ = 73.33 ft

Now, the distance traveled by drunk driver's car further than sober driver's car is given by:

ΔS = s₂ - s₁

ΔS = 73.33 ft - 24.2 ft

<u>ΔS = 49.13 ft</u>

A 14.0 m uniform ladder weighing 490 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 63.0°-angle with the horizontal.
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

length of ladder r_L = 14m

weight of ladder F_L = 490N

position of firefighter r_F = 3.8m

weight of firefighter F_F = 820N

angle of ladder \alpha = 63

Unknown:

force of the wall on the ladder F_W

force of friction on base of ladder F_R

normal force on base of ladder F_N

From the free body diagram of the sketch you get 3 equations:

F_x = ma_x = F_W - F_R = 0\\ F_y = ma_y = F_N - F_F - F_L = 0\\ \tau _P = \overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{F} = r_FF_Fcos\alpha + \frac{1}{2}r_LF_Lcos\alpha - r_LF_Wsin\alpha = 0

Solving the equations gives:

F_W = F_R\\ F_N = F_F + F_L\\ F_W = \frac{r_FF_F + 0.5r_LF_L}{r_L tan\alpha}

a)

F_R = 238N\\ F_N = 1310N

b)

F_R = \mu F_N\\ \mu = \frac{F_R}{F_N} \\ \mu = 0.3

c) Using the result from b and solving for r_F

\\ \mu = 0.15\\ F_R = \mu F_N\\ r_F = 2.4m
