<h2>Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = ?

        Time, t = 6.8 s    

        Displacement, s = 1/4 mi =    400 meters

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      400 = 0 x 6.8 + 0.5 x a x 6.8²

                      a = 17.30 m/s²

Now we have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = ?

     Time, t = 6.8 s

      Acceleration, a = 17.30 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      v = 0 + 17.30 x 6.8

                      v = 117.65 m/s

Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Normal force, N = W_s - F

Explanation:

Let w_s is the weight of suitcase. A man attempts to pick up his suitcase by pulling straight up on the handle. The weight of the suitcase in downward direction. The normal force is acting in upward direction. Let F is the force with which it is pulled straight up.

So, the normal force is given by :

N = W_s - F

N = mg - F

mg is the weight of the suitcase.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A constant force is exerted on a cart that is initially at rest on a frictionless air track. The force acts for a short time int
Inessa05 [86]

Let <em>F</em> be the magnitude of the force applied to the cart, <em>m</em> the mass of the cart, and <em>a</em> the acceleration it undergoes. After time <em>t</em>, the cart accelerates from rest <em>v</em>₀ = 0 to a final velocity <em>v</em>. By Newton's second law, the first push applies an acceleration of

<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>   →   <em>a</em> = <em>F </em>/ <em>m</em>

so that the cart's final speed is

<em>v</em> = <em>v</em>₀ + <em>a</em> <em>t</em>

<em>v</em> = (<em>F</em> / <em>m</em>) <em>t</em>

<em />

If we force is halved, so is the accleration:

<em>a</em> = <em>F</em> / <em>m</em>   →   <em>a</em>/2 = <em>F</em> / (2<em>m</em>)

So, in order to get the cart up to the same speed <em>v</em> as before, you need to double the time interval <em>t</em> to 2<em>t</em>, since that would give

(<em>F</em> / (2<em>m</em>)) (2<em>t</em>) = (<em>F</em> / <em>m</em>) <em>t</em> = <em>v</em>

When a car of mass 1167 kg accelerates from 10.0 m/s to some final speed, 4.00  10 5J of work are done. Find this final speed.
Akimi4 [234]
  • Mass=1167kg
  • Initial velocity=u=10m/s
  • Acceleration=a=4m/s^2
  • Work done=105J=W
  • Final velocity=v=?
  • Force=F
  • Distance=d

Apply Newton's second law

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow F=ma

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow F=1167(4)=4668N

Now

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow W=Fd

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow d=\dfrac{W}{F}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow d=\dfrac{105}{4668}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow d=0.022m

Now

  • d be s

According to third equation of kinematics

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow v^2=u^2+2as

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow v^2=10^2+2(4)(0.022)

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow v^2=100+8(0.022)

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow v^2=100+0.176

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow v^2=100.176

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow v=10.001m/s

Hi,

My best answer would be Gravity. Is it a multiple choice question? Or is it an essay question.

Can someone answer this for meee?? w
Iteru [2.4K]

We know that either team is winning which means that the cumulative forces (sum of each girl force) on both teams are equal.

This means,

250 + 250 + 250 + 250 = 260 + 260 + 260 + x

being x the force of the fourth girl on the east team.

Solving to x, you get

x = (250 + 250 + 250 + 250) - (260+260+260)x = 1000 - 780x = 220

The fourth girl on the east is pulling with a force of 220N.
