A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. friction is negligible. the person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. the total

mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 95.5 kg. the mass of the rock is 0.290 kg. initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.510 m/s. then the person throws the rock with a speed of 17.5 m/s. both speeds are relative to the ground. find the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown directly forward.

use the equation mv+mv=mv+mv

95.5(.51)= 95.2(X)+ 17.5(.290)

Now solve for X and that should be your answer

OR

you know that if you throw the rock forward then the the same amount of force is applied backwards onto the person throwing the rock so if the force applied to the rock is mass times velocity then find the force for the cart and subtract the carts force forward by the force the rock exerts backwards.

A 4 kg car with frictionless wheels is on a ramp that makes a 25° angle with the horizontal. The car is connected to a 1 kg mass
stellarik [79]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

W₁ = (4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N
W₂ = (1 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 9.8 N

The normal reaction on the 4-kg mass is
N = (39.2 N)*cos(25°) = 35.5273 N
The force acting down the inclined plane due to the weight is
F = (39.2 N)*sin(25°) = 16.5666 N

The net force that accelerates the 4-kg mass at a m/²s down the plane is
F - W₂ = (4 kg)*(a m/s²)
4a = 16.5666 - 9.8
a = 1.6917 m/s²

Answer: 1.69 m/s²  (nearest hundredth)

a person standing at the edge of a seaside cliff kicks a stone over the edge with a speed of 18 m/s. The cliff is 52 m above the
Alexxx [7]
You already have the speed, now you need the time.
I will use the formula for speed which is S=D/T.
S=Speed    D=Distance   T=Time.
So here we have, 18m/s = 52m/T
we do 18 divided by 52 which would be .3461.
.3461 seconds is how long it took the stone to reach the water.

If the velocity of an object is zero at one instant, what is true about the acceleration of that object
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

I. The acceleration could be positive.

II. The acceleration could be zero.

III. The acceleration could be negative.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

If the velocity of an object is zero at one instant, then the acceleration of that object may have the following characteristics;

I. The acceleration could be positive.

II. The acceleration could be zero.

III. The acceleration could be negative.

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

a = \frac{v  -  u}{t}

Where,

a is acceleration measured in ms^{-2}

v and u is final and initial velocity respectively, measured in ms^{-1}

t is time measured in seconds.
