The equation to be used is for the rectilinear motion at constant acceleration:
x = v₀t + 0.5at²
a = (v-v₀)/t
where
x is distance
v and v₀ is the final and initial velocity
t is time
a is acceleration
Because the acceleration is decelerating, that would be reported as -7.5 m/s². Substituting,
-7.5 = (0 - v₀)/t
v₀ = 7.5 t --> eqn 1
x = v₀t + 0.5at²
60 = (7.5t)(t) + 0.5(-7.5)(t²)
Solving for t,
t = 4s
Thus,
v₀ = 7.5 m/s² * 4s
v₀ = 30 m/s
The unit used to measure wavelength is a Nano-meter
Answer:
13.33 or 13 1/3m/s (meters per second)
Explanation:
In physics, we use the basic units of meters and seconds. So first convert (km) into meters (m) and also hours and minutes into seconds (s). We end up with 120000m and 9000s. Then divide the 120000m by the 9000s and you end up with 13.33 or 13 1/3 m/s.
Answer:
23.49m
Explanation:
Distance = velocity x time
8.7 x 2.7 = 23.49m
Answer: c. 1.3 m/s^2
Explanation:
When he is at rest, is weight can be calculated as:
W = g*m
where:
m = mass of the man
g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
We know that at rest his weight is W = 824N, then we have:
824N = m*9.8m/s^2
824N/(9.8m/s^2) = m = 84.1 kg
Now, when the elevators moves up with an acceleration a, the acceleration that the man inside fells down is g + a.
Then the new weight is calculated as:
W = m*(g + a)
and we know that in this case:
W = 932N
g = 9.8m/s^2
m = 84.1 kg
Then we can find the value of a if we solve:
932N = 84.1kg*(9.8m/s^2 + a)
932N/84.1kg = 11.1 m/s^2 = 9.8m/s^2 + a
11.1 m/s^2 - 9.8m/s^2 = a = 1.3 m/s^2
The correct option is C
