Answer: 8.07 m/s

Explanation:

Applying the definition of acceleration, as the rate of change of velocity, we can extract the value of the velocity v at a given time t, as follows:

v = v₀ + a t (1)

As we already know v₀ and t, our  single unknown is the acceleration a.

Once the friver slammed on the brakes, there exists an external force, due to friction, which is the only external force acting in the horizontal direction, producing a deceleration.

This friction force, is equal to the product of  the coeficient of  kinetic friction, times the normal force.

In this case, the normal force is numerically equal to the gravity force, which we call weight.

This force opposes to the direction of the initial velocity, as it always opposes to the relative movement between both surfaces in contact.

Applying Newton's 2nd Law, we get:

Fnet = ma ⇒ Ff = m a ⇒ -μk . m . g = m.a

Solving for a :

a = -μk . g = -0.68 . 9.8 m/s² = -6.66 m/s²

Replacing in (1)

v = 15.4 m/s +(-6.66) m/s². 1.11 s = 8.07 m/s

Two objects were lifted by a machine. One object had a mass of 5000 kg, and was lifted at a speed of 2 m/sec. The other had a ma
Leokris [45]
Equation for ke = 1/2mv^2
1) ke = 1/2 x 5000 x (2x2)
= 10,000J
2) ke = 1/2 x 4000 x (3x3)
= 18,000J
So Object 2 has more Kinetic Energy

A 2.0-kg ball has a momentum of 25kg.m/s what is the ball's speed?
Reil [10]

We know, momentum = mass * speed

25kgm/s = 2 kg * s

s = 25/2 = 12.5 m/s
