Average acceleration is difference in velocity divided by time.
(35 - 15)/2 = 10 m/s² downward

A truck covers 32.0 m in 8.70 s while smoothly slowing down to final speed of 2.10 m/s. (a) Find its original speed. Incorrect:
Natalka [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered, d = 32 m

Time, t = 8.7 m

Final speed of the truck, v = 2.1 m/s

(a) Let a is the acceleration and u is the original speed of the truck.

Using first equation of kinematics as :

v=u+at

2.1=u+8.7a..............(1)

Using second equation of kinematics as :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

32=u(8.7)+\dfrac{1}{2}a(8.7)^2...........(2)

On solving equation (1) and (2) we get :

Original speed, u=5.25\ m/s

(b) Acceleration, a=-0.36\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 0.42 kg shuffleboard disk is initially at rest when a player uses a cue to increase its speed to 4.2 m/s at constant accelerat
MariettaO [177]

Answer

given,

mass of the shuffleboard disk = 0.42 kg

speed of the cue is increased to = 4.2 m/s

acceleration takes over 2 m then acceleration is zero.

the disk additionally slide to 12 m

final speed of disk = 0 m/s

a) increase in thermal energy

\Delta E_t = \dfrac{1}{2}m(v_1^2-v_2^2)

\Delta E_t = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.42 \times (4.2^2-v_2^2)

\Delta E_t = 3.704\ J

b)  \Delta E_t = F_f.d

F_f is the frictional force

     3.704= 12.F

      F_f = 0.308\ N

increase in thermal energy for entire movement of 14 m

     \Delta E_t = 0.308\times 14

     \Delta E_t =4.312 \ J

c)  Work done on the disk by the cue

  W = \Delta KE + \Delta E_{t}

  W = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.42 \times (4.2^2-0^2)+ F_f \times d

  W = 3.704+ 0.308 \times 2

   W = 3.704 + 0.616

   W  = 4.32 J

a) Average velocity for her run north: 2.68 m/s north

b) The average velocity for the whole trip is zero

c) The average speed for the whole trip is 1.95 m/s

Explanation:

a)

In this part of the problem we only want to consider the part when Micha is running north.

The average velocity is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement (a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion)

t is the time

For the part running north, we have

d=2 mil \cdot 1609 = 3218 m north is the displacement

t = 20 min \cdot 60 = 1200 s is the time interval

Substituting,

v=\frac{3218}{1200}=2.68 m/s north (we have to specify also the direction, since velocity is a vector)

b)

As we said, average velocity is given by

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time

If we consider the whole trip, however, the displacement is zero:

d = 0

Because Micha returns home, so the initial position corresponds to the final position of motion. Therefore, the average velocity is also zero:

v = 0

c)

The average speed is given by

s=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the  distance covered (the total length of the path, regardless of the direction)

t is the time interval

Since MIcha ran 2 miles north and then 2 miles back, the total distance is

d=2 mi + 2mi = 4 mi \cdot 1609 = 6436 m

And the time taken is

t=20 min + 15 min + 20 min = 55 min \cdot 60 = 3300 s

So, the average speed is

s=\frac{6436}{3300}=1.95 m/s

And since speed is a scalar, there is no need to specify a direction.

8 N to the Lefr and 4 N to the right find the net force is this balanced
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

4N to the left. No it is not balanced.

Explanation:

8 -4 = 4 N of force

Balanced would be if they equaled zero, so 8 to the left and 8 to the right
