Explanation:

Average acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (63 m/s − 25 m/s) / (17 s − 6 s)

a ≈ 3.45 m/s²

A leopard of mass 65kg climbs 7m up a tall tree. Calculate how much gravitational potential energy it gains. Assume g=10N/kg.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: 4550 Joules

The formula for potential energy in gravitational field is as follows:

E_{pot} = mgh=65kg \cdot 10 \frac{N}{kg} \cdot 7m = 4550 J

A baseball is hit that just goes over a wall that is 45.4m high. If the baseball is traveling at 46.2 m/s at an angle of 32.7° b
mario62 [17]

Answer:

54.9 m/s at 44.9 degrees

Explanation:

If the ball has a total velocity of 46.2 m/s, at an angle of -32.7 degrees, we can decompose its speed into its horizontal and vertical components.

Vx = V * cos(a) = 46.2 * cos(-32.7) = 38.9 m/s

Vy = V * sin(a) = 46.2 * sin(-32.7) = -25 m/s

SInce there is no force on the horizontal direction (omitting air drag), we can assume constant horizontal speed.

Since a ball thrown is at free fall, only affected by gravity (omitting air drag), we can say it is affected by constant acceleration, therefore we can use

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 *t + 1/2 * a * t^2

We consider t=0 as the moment when the ball was hit, so in this case Y0 = 1 m

If we take the first derivative of the equation of position, we get the equation for speed

V(t) = Vy0 + a * t

We know that being t2 the moment the ball goes over the wall

V(t2) = -25 m/s

Y(t2) = 45.4 m

So:

45.4 = 1 + Vy0 * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

-25 = Vy0 + a * t2

Then:

Vy0 = -25 - a * t2

So:

45.4 = 1 + (-25 - a * t2) * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 - 1/2 * a * t2^2

a = -9.81 m/s^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 + 4.9 * t2^2

Solving this quadratic equation we get:

t1 = -1.39 s

t2 = 6.5 s

Since we are looking for a positive value we disregard t1.

Now we can obtain Vy0:

Vy0 = -25 + 9.81 * 6.5 = 38.76 m/s

Since horizontal speed is constant Vx0 = 38.9 m/s

By Pythagoras theorem we obtain the value of the initial speed:

V0 = \sqrt{Vx0^2 + Vy0^2} = \sqrt{38.9^2 + 38.76^2} = 54.9 m/s

The angle is in the the first quadrant because both comonents ate positive, so: 0 < a < 90

a = atan(Vy0/Vx0) = 44.9 degrees

Un avión vuela a una velocidad de 900 km/h. Si tarda en viajar desde Canarias hasta la península 180 s ¿qué distancia recorre en
wel

Answer:

El avión recorrió 45 km en los 180 s.

Explanation:

La relación entre velocidad, distancia y tiempo se da de la siguiente manera;

Velocidad= \dfrac{Distancia}{Hora}

Por lo cual los parámetros dados son los siguientes;

Velocidad = 900 km/h = 250 m / s

Tiempo = 180 s

Estamos obligados a calcular la distancia recorrida

De la ecuación para la velocidad dada arriba, tenemos;

Distancia recorrida = Velocidad pf viaje × Tiempo de viaje

Distancia recorrida = 900 km/h × 180 s = 900

Distancia recorrida = 900 km/h × 1 h/60 min × 1 min/60 s × 180 s = 45 km

Por lo tanto, el avión viajó 45 km en 180 s.

A paper clip that has a mass of 1.5 grams is thrown into the air and initially has a kinetic energy
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

v = 4.2 \ m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the paper clip, m = 1.5 \ g = 0.0015 \ kg

Kinetic energy, K = 0.013 \ \rm J

Let the velocity of the paper clip when it is thrown be <em>v</em>.

Thus,

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

0.013 = 0.5 \times 0.0015 \times v^{2}

\Rightarrow \ v = 4.16 \ m/s

v = 4.2 \ m/s.  (rounding to nearest tenth)

 Acid precipitation is caused by a mix of 
saveliy_v [14]
C. sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides

These three chemical compounds play a role in the chemistry of acid rain or acid precipitation. These compounds are then in the process as they evaporate are converted into acids, mainly, nitric acid and sulfuric acid. These toxic gases that composes acid precipitation is actually caused by industries, factories or plants that utilizes such chemicals and then uses a humongous amount which then is released in during the process of certain products or manufactured objects.
