A student is running to catch the campus shuttle bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. The student is runnign at a constant spe

ed of 6.0 m/s; she cant run any faster. When trhe student is still 60 m from the bus, it starts to pull away, moving with a constant acceleration of 0.170m/s2. (a) For how much time and what distance does the student have to run at 5.0 m/s before she overtakes the bus? (b) When she reaches the bus, how fast is the bus traveling?

Answer:

Part a)

t = 16.8 s

d = 100.8 m

Part b)

v_f = 2.86 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Constant speed by which the student will run is given as

v = 5 m/s

now after some time if student is going to overtake the position of bus

so here the final positions will be same

so we have

x_{bus} = x_{student}

0 + \frac{1}{2}at^2 + d = v_{student} t

\frac{1}{2}(0.170)t^2 + 60 = 5 t

0.085 t^2 - 5t + 60 = 0

so it is

t = 16.8 s

So student will run the total distance

d = vt

d = (6)(16.8)

d = 100.8 m

Part b)

Speed of bus when student reach the bus is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + (0.170)(16.8)

v_f = 2.86 m/s

A .140kg baseball traveling 35.0m/s strikes the catchers mit bringing the ball to rest, recoils backward 11.0cm what’s the avera

Average force applied by the call on the glove = 780 N

Explanation:

mass of baseball=0.140 kg

initial velocity = Vi= 35 m/s

Final velocity=Vf= 0

distance traveled=11 cm= 0.11 m

using the kinematic equation Vf²= Vi²+ 2 a d

where a = acceleration

0²= 35²+ 2 a (0.11)

a=-5568.2 m/s²

Now force is given by F= ma

F= 0.140 (5568.2)

F=-780 N

The negative sign signifies that the force acts in the opposite direction.

so the average force= 780 N

While on a moving elevator during a certain perfod or time, Frank's apparent weight is 620 N. If Frank's mass is 70 kg, what is
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

0.94 m/s^2 downwards

Explanation:

m = 70 kg, m g = 70 x 9.8 = 686 N

R = 620 N

Let the acceleration be a, as the apparent weight decreases so the elevator is moving downwards with an acceleration a.

mg - R = ma

686 - 620 = 70 x a

a = 0.94 m/s^2

near the surface of the earth, objects in free fall (but not terminal velocity) experience a. constant distance. b. constant acc
Alenkasestr [34]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. constant acceleration.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Free fall is the type of motion of a body or an object when only gravity is acting on it.
  • <em><u>All objects undergo free fall on the earth surface at the same rate irrespective of their mass. This is because the gravitational field on the surface of the earth 9.8 N/kg, causes and acceleration equivalent to 9.8 m/s/s of any object in free fall motion.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u> the acceleration of any freely falling object near the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s².</u>
