Scientists are experimenting with a kind of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. In one test, t

his gun accelerates a 3.8-kg projectile from rest to a speed of 9.3 × 103 m/s. The net force accelerating the projectile is 9.3 × 105 N. How much time is required for the projectile to come up to speed?

Answer:

t=0.038s

Explanation:

Project mass m=3.8 kg

Initial speed vi= 0m/s

Final speed vf= 9.3×10³ m/s

Force F=9.3×10⁵N

To find

Time t

Solution

From Newtons second law we know that

∑F=ma

Where m is mass

a is acceleration

We can write this equation as

∑F=m(Δv/Δt)

=m\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}

Rearrange this equation to find time t

So

t=m\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{F}

Substitute the given values

t=3.8kg\frac{9.3*10^3m/s-0}{9.3*10^5N} \\t=0.038s

Answer:

As we have already discussed earlier, motion is the state of change in position of an object over time. It is described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed. Jogging, driving a car, and even simply taking a walk are all everyday examples of motion. The relations between these quantities are known as the equations of motion.

A light spring having a force constant of 115 N/m is used to pull a 9.00 kg sled on a horizontal frictionless ice rink. The sled
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Stretch in the spring = 0.1643 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the sled (m) = 9 kg

Acceleration of the sled (a) = 2.10 m/s ²

Spring constant (k) = 115 N/m

Computation:

Tension force in the spring  (T) = ma

Tension force in the spring  (T) = 9 × 2.10

Tension force in the spring  (T) = 18.9 N

Tension force in the spring = Spring constant (k) × Stretch in the spring

18.9 N = 115 N  × Stretch in the spring

Stretch in the spring = 18.9 / 115

Stretch in the spring = 0.1643 (Approx)

If a basketball travels a distance of 4 meters in 5 seconds, what is its average speed?
aliya0001 [1]

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)


Average speed = (4 meters) / (5 seconds)


Average speed = (4/5) (meters/seconds)


Average speed = 0.8 m/s

A car moving along a straight road at 30m/s slows uniformly to a speed of 10m/s in a time of 5s. determine the
nignag [31]

Answer:

A=ACCELERATION = -4 m/s^2

B=DISTANCE= 72 m

Explanation:

Solving for the acceleration of the car

A= (10 m/s-30 m/s) / 5s

A= -20 m/s / 5s

A= -4 m/s^2

Solving for the distance traveled after the third second

D= v1 * t + 1/2at^2

D= 30 m/s * 3 s + -2m/s^2 * (3s)^2

D= 90 m + - 18 m

D = 72 m

If a boy runs 125 meters north, and then 75 meters south, his total displacemen5 is
zheka24 [161]

Answer:  50 m

Consider the figure below: Let O be the starting reference point. The boy runs northwards 125 m and then 75 m southwards.

Displacement is the shortest path traveled from the reference point. Distance is the total path length traveled. Hence, the distance would be 125 +75 =200 m but the displacement would be 125-75 =50 m.
