A) Zero

The motion of the shot is a projectile's motion: this means that there is only one force acting on the projectile, which is gravity. However, gravity only acts in the vertical direction: so, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the x-component of the acceleration is zero.

B) -9.8 m/s^2

The vertical acceleration is given by the only force acting in the vertical direction, which is gravity:

F=mg

where m is the projectile's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. Therefore, the y-component of the shot's acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity:

a_y = g = -9.8 m/s^2

where the negative sign means it points downward.

C) 7.6 m/s

The x-component of the shot's velocity is given by:

v_x = v_0 cos \theta

where

v_0 = 12.0 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta=51.0^{\circ} is the angle of the shot

Substituting into the equation, we find

v_x = (12.0 m/s)(cos 51^{\circ})=7.6 m/s

D) 9.3 m/s

The y-component of the shot's velocity is given by:

v_y = v_0 sin \theta

where

v_0 = 12.0 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta=51.0^{\circ} is the angle of the shot

Substituting into the equation, we find

v_y = (12.0 m/s)(sin 51^{\circ})=9.3 m/s

E) 7.6 m/s

We said at point A) that the acceleration along the x-direction is zero: therefore, the velocity along the x-direction does not change, so the x-component of the velocity at the end of the trajectory is equal to the x-velocity at the beginning:

v_x = 7.6 m/s

F) -11.1 m/s

The y-component of the velocity at time t is given by:

v_y(t) = v_y + at

where

v_y = 9.3 m/s is the initial y-velocity

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the vertical acceleration

t is the time

Since the total time of the motion is t=2.08 s, we can substitute this value into the equation, and we find:

v_y(2.08 s)=9.3 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^2)(2.08 s)=-11.1 m/s

where the negative sign means the vertical velocity is now downward.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

3.69 m/s

Explanation:

Forces :

mgsin Θ - mumgcosΘ = ma  

g x sinΘ  - mu x g x cosΘ  = a

9.8 x sin 21 - 0.53 x 9.8 x cos 21 = a

a = -1.337 m/s²

so you have final velocity = 0 m/s

initial velocity = ? m/s

Given d = 5.1 m

By kinematics

vf² = vo² + 2ad

0 = vo² + 2 x -1.337*5.1

vo = 3.69 m/s

A boat takes off from a dock at 2.5 m/s and speeds up at 4.2 m/s squared for six seconds how far has the most traveled
GaryK [48]

The boat's position x relative to its starting point x_0=0 is determined by

x=x_0+v_0t+\dfrac12at^2

where v_0 is its initial velocity, a is its acceleration, and t is time. After t=6\,\mathrm s, the boat has traveled

x=\left(2.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(4.2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)^2

\implies x=91\,\mathrm m
