I need help setting this problem up. Please help! A mother pushes a stroller up a hill, with the center of the stroller 1 meter

ahead of her body. She maintains contact with the stroller at all times. Her position is x(t), speed is v(t) and her acceleration is a(t). What are the position, velocity, and acceleration of the stroller at any time t?

The only thing you can derive ...maybe ... from the given information is that
the stroller's x(t) is 1 + the mother's x(t).  And if her progress is not strictly
along the x-axis, then even <em>that</em> statement isn't true.

If the stroller's v(t) and a(t) were not identical to the mother's v(t)and a(t), then
mother and stroller would "come apart".  But you've told us that they're always
in contact, so their v(t) and a(t) must be identical.

A slightly more rigorous (and mathematical) argument is that since the mother's
and the stroller's x(t) differ (at most) only by a constant, then their derivatives
x'(t) (which is v(t)) and x''(t) (which is a(t)) are equal.

Which of the following has the largest inertia?
Shkiper50 [21]

Option D,  a semi truck parked in a parking lot

Reason: Inertia is the state of a body which needs a force to come into the act of motion.

The more massive the object is the more is its inertia.

List 2 examples of objects demonstrating mechanical energy.
OlgaM077 [116]
Windmills run on the principle of mechanical energy and work. Moving air (wind) possesses some amount of energy in the form of kinetic energy (due to motion). This energy gives the air the ability to do work on the blades of the fan.

Work of 2 joules is done in stretching a spring from its natural length to 11 cm beyond its natural length. what is the force (i
Sidana [21]
The law applied here is Hooke's Law which describes the force exerted by the spring with a given distance. The equation for this is F = kΔx, where F is the force in Newtons, k is the spring constant in N/m while Δx is the displacement in meters.

If you want to find work done by a spring, this can be solved by using differential equations. However, derived equations are already ready for use. The equation is

W = k[{x₂-x₁)² - (x₁-xn)²],

where 
xn is the natural length
x₁ is the stretched length 
x₂ is also the stretched length when stretched even further than x₁

In this case xn =x₁. So, that means that (x₁-xn) = 0 and (x₂-x₁) = 11 cm or 0.11 m.

Then, substituting the values,

2 J = k (0.11² -0²)
k = 165.29 N/m

Finally, we use the value of k to the Hooke's Law to determine the Force.

F = kΔx = (165.29 N/m)(0.11 m)
F = 18.18 Newtons

A 1.90-m-long barbell has a 25.0 kg weight on its left end and a 37.0 kg weight on its right end. if you ignore the weight of th
gregori [183]

Answer: The center of gravity is 1.1338 m away from the left side of the barbell

Explanation:

Length of the barbell = 1.90 m

The distance center of gravity from left = x

Mass on the left side = 25 kg

The distance center of gravity from right = 1.90 - x

Mass on the right side = 37 kg

At the balance point: m_1x_1=m_2x_2

25 kg\times x=37 kg\times (1.90-x)

x=1.1338 m

The center of gravity is 1.1338 m away from the left side of the barbell
