Acceleration = ( final velocity - intial velocity ) / time

= (60-0)m/s / 3s
= 20 m/s2

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s

b.) V = 4.4 m/s

Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.

So,

Radius r = 0.6 m

Mass M = 2 kg

Velocity V = 1.1 m/s

Angular momentum L can be expressed as;

L = MVr

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1

the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,

New radius = 0.15 m

Using the same formula again

L = 2( MVr)

2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )

1.32 = 0.3 V

V = 1.32/0.3

V = 4.4 m/s

Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s

When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 35.0 kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. calculate the fo

Sliva [168]

The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.

Now from Newton`s first law, the net force on gymnast,

$F_{net} =F-W=ma$

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast ( $9\times g$ acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore,

$F= ma+W$ OR $F=ma+mg=m(g+a)$

Given $m = 30 kg$ and $a=9\times g=9\times 9.8 m/s^{2} =88.2 m/s^{2}$

Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,

$F=(40 kg) (88.2 m/s^{2} +9.8 m/s^{2} )$

$F=3.537\times10^{3}N$

Estimate the volume of a typical house (2050 feet squared in size and 10 feet tall) answer in units of meters squared

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

$Volume = 6248.48 m^{3}$

Explanation:

Given:

The area of the house $A = 2050\ ft^{2}$

The height of the house $h=10\ ft$

We need to find the volume of a typical house.

Solution:

We find the volume of the house by multiplying the area of the house and height of the house.

$Volume = Area\times height$

$Volume = A\times h$

Area and height of the house are known, so we substitute these value in above equation.

$Volume = 2050\times 10$

$Volume = 20500\ ft^{3}$

Now we convert the unit from feet to meter.

Divide the volume by 3.2808 for $m^{3}$

$Volume = \frac{20500}{3.2808}$

$Volume = 6248.48\ m^{3}$

Therefore, the volume of the house is $6248.48 m^{3}$

Why do noble gasses rarely react with other elements?

ollegr [7]

Noble gasses have an outer shell full of electrons. A full outer energy level is the most stable arrangement of electrons. As a result, noble gases cannot become more stable by reacting with other elements and gaining or losing valence electrons. Therefore, noble gases are rarely involved in chemical reactions and almost never form compounds with other elements.
