A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +16.7 m/s in a time of 20.7 s.

The combined mass of the boat and trailer is 594 kg. The frictional force acting on the trailer can be ignored. What is the tension in the hitch that connects the trailer to the car?

Answer:

F = 479.21 N

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = 0 m/s  

final velocity = 16.7 m/s        

time taken = 20.7 s          

combined mass of the boat and trailer  = 594 kg

tension in the hitch = ?          

using equation of motion          

v = u + a t

16.7 = 0 + a × 20.7

a = 0.807 m/s²              

Force = mass × acceleration        

F = 594 × 0.807                

F = 479.21 N

Hence, the tension in the hitch that connects the  trailer to the car is        F = 479.21 N

A car accelerates from rest at -3.00m/s^2. What is the velocity at the end of 5.0s? What is the displacement after5.0s?
Andrew [12]

Speed = (acceleration) x (time)
Velocity = (speed) in (direction of the speed)

Speed = (-3 m/s²) x (5 s) = 15 m/s
Velocity =
             (15 m/s) in the direction opposite to the direction you call positive
.

Displacement = (distance between start-point and end-point)
                           in the direction from start-point to end-point.

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)²
Distance = (1/2) (3 m/s²) (5 s)²
                 = (1/2) (3 m/s²) (25 s²)  =  37.5 meters

Displacement =
                     37.5 meters in the direction opposite to the direction you call positive.

E14. A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. If
Shkiper50 [21]

a) Vertical velocity: 5.9 m/s

b) Horizontal velocity: 5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction)

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

Here we want to find the vertical component of the ball's velocity. This can be done by using the suvat equation for the vertical motion:

v_y = u_y +gt

where:

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the ball has been thrown horizontally)

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (here we take downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 0.6 s, which is the total time of flight, we find the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground:

v_y=0+(9.8)(0.6)=5.9 m/s

b)

The motion along the vertical direction is an accelerated motion, because there is a force (the force of gravity) acting on the ball and that it causes an acceleration in the ball.

However, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect the air resistance): this means that the acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction is zero.

As a consequence, this also means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant during the motion.

Since the ball was thrown from the table with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, this means that the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor is still

v_x =  5 m/s

A tomato of mass 0.18 kg is dropped from a tall bridge. If the tomato has a speed of 11 m/s just before it hits the ground, what
kondor19780726 [428]
The kinetic energy of the tomato is : 

K.E =  1/2 mv^2

K.E = 1/2 x 0.18 kg x 11 m/S^2

K.E = 0.99

Hope this helps
