Answer:
Force exerted, F = 1.5 N
Explanation:
It is given that, a boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s.
i.e. u = 0
v = 30 m/s
Time taken, t = 0.06 s
Mass of the paper, m = 0.003 kg
We need to find the force the boxer exert on it. The force can be calculated using second law of motion as :



F = 1.5 N
So, the force the boxer exert on the paper is 1.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Vi = 32 [m/s]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must use the following the two following kinematics equations.

The negative sign of the second term of the equation means that the velocity decreases, as indicated in the problem.
where:
Vf = final velocity = 8[m/s]
Vi = initial velocity [m/s]
a = acceleration = [m/s^2]
t = time = 5 [s]
Now replacing:
8 = Vi - 5*a
Vi = (8 + 5*a)
As we can see we have two unknowns the initial velocity and the acceleration, so we must use a second kinematics equation.

where:
d = distance = 100[m]
(8^2) = (8 + 5*a)^2 - (2*a*100)
64 = (64 + 80*a + 25*a^2) - 200*a
0 = 80*a - 200*a + 25*a^2
0 = - 120*a + 25*a^2
0 = 25*a(a - 4.8)
therefore:
a = 0 or a = 4.8 [m/s^2]
We choose the value of 4.8 as the acceleration value, since the zero value would not apply.
Returning to the first equation:
8 = Vi - (4.8*5)
Vi = 32 [m/s]
Answer:
Relative age-dating involves comparing a rock layer or rock structure with other near-by layers or structures. Using the principles of superposition and cross-cutting relationships, and structures such as unconformities, one can determine the order of geological events.
(a) The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is given by
<em>y</em> = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²
where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :
0 = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²
0 = <em>t</em> ((20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> )
<em>t</em> = 0 or (20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> = 0
The first time refers to where the ball is initially launched, so we omit that solution.
(20 m/s) sin(40º) = 1/2 <em>g t</em>
<em>t</em> = (40 m/s) sin(40º) / <em>g</em>
<em>t</em> ≈ 2.6 s
(b) At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity. In the vertical direction, the ball is in free fall and only subject to the downward acceleration <em>g</em>. So
0² - ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² = 2 (-<em>g</em>) <em>y</em>
where <em>y</em> in this equation refers to the maximum height of the ball. Solve for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² / (2<em>g</em>)
<em>y</em> ≈ 8.4 m
