Acceleration is just how fast velocity is changing in a certain time. Simply subtract the final velocity from initial velocity, then take that number and divide that by the change in time. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's the same formula you use to find the slope of a line. If you've done calculus, it's finding the secant line, which means you've found the average acceleration using the (change in v)/(change in t). If you need the instantaneous acceleration, you need to take the derivative of your function at a certain time(also calculus.) ignore the last two sentences if you haven't taken calc1

Ignoring air resistance, the Kinetic energy before hitting the ground will be equal to the potential energy of the Piton at the top of the rock.
So we have 1/2 MV^2 = MGH
V^2 = 2GH
V = âš2GH
V = âš( 2 * 9.8 * 325)
V = âš 6370
V = 79.81 m/s

Calculate the force needed to bring a 1,019-kg car to rest from a speed of 29 m/s in a distance of 118 m

son4ous [18]

Acceleration = ▵v/▵t
Time = d/v
Fisrt calculate time : ( 118/29 ) = 4 seconds
Then calculate acceleration
A = 29/4 = 7.25 m/s²
Now the force.
Force = mass * acceleration.
F= 1,019 * 7.25
F= 7,387 N

A certain spring stretches 3 cm when a load of 15 n is suspended from it. how much will the spring stretch if 30 n is suspended

Alik [6]

Initially, the spring stretches by 3 cm under a force of 15 N. From these data, we can find the value of the spring constant, given by Hook's law:
$k= \frac{F}{\Delta x}$
where F is the force applied, and $\Delta x$ is the stretch of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position. Using the data, we find
$k= \frac{15 N}{3.0 cm}=5.0 N/cm$

Now a force of 30 N is applied to the same spring, with constant k=5.0 N/cm. Using again Hook's law, we can find the new stretch of the spring:
$\Delta x = \frac{F}{k}= \frac{30 N}{5.0 N/cm}=6 cm$

An object is moving with uniform speed in a circle of radius r. Calculate the distance and displacement

dimaraw [331]

Answer and Explanation:

distance will be 2×3.14 (pie)×r

displacement will be 2r (diameter)

the motion is uniform circular motion as the object is moving in a circular path with uniform motion
