A ball rolls down a ramp for 15 seconds. If the initial velocity of the ball was 0.8m/s and the final velocity was 7m/s, what wa

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

                            =  (7.0 m/s)  -  (0.8 m/s)  =  6.2 m/s

Time for the change  =  15 seconds

Acceleration  =  (6.2 m/s) / (15 sec)

                      =   (6.2/15)  m/s²

                      =     0.413 m/s²

Evgen [1.6K]
Finding acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/ time taken (or A= V-U/T)

Final speed= 2m
Initial speed= 0m
Time taken= 2 seconds

2-0/2 so it’ll be 1m/s

2-0=0

A book is dropped from a window. It takes 5 seconds to reach the ground. What is its velocity after 2 seconds? What’s the veloci
ira [324]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity is 0. In the equation v = v0+at where v0 is the initial velocity of 0, we only have to fill in -9.8 for a and 2 for t to get the velocity after 2 seconds -19.6 m/s; after 5 seconds, when it hits the ground, a = -9.8 and t = 5 to give a velocity of -49 m/s. Gravity pulls down everything at the same rate, it doesn't matter whether we drop a feather or an elephant from the window!

What about electrons allow them to be some of the fastest traveling subatomic particles?
rewona [7]
They're extremely small, occupying a very small volume, to the point where something like wind resistance that we think about with accelerating large objects like planes becomes completely irrelevant. A rogue electron can fly straight through most solid objects through the "empty space" between atoms. Their mass is also extremely small, 9.1*10⁻³¹ kg, making them relatively easy to accelerate to near light speeds (in comparison to other forms of matter) as it takes very little energy to set them into motion. Particle accelerators accelerate electrons to 99% of the speed of light in the real world every day.

Explain how "elastic potential energy" dramatically changed the sport of pole vaulting when flexible fiberglass poles replaced s
natulia [17]

Answer:

when the old wooden stiff poles were being used, none of the kinetic energy during the run-up was stored in the pole.  With the new fiber glass flexible pole, some of that energy is stored in the flexing of the pole and then released as the pole straightens out at the top of its arc.  Where 13 ft was considered an excellent competition vault with the stiff pole, the additional boost from the stored energy in the flex pole has made 17 ft vaults the winning heights.

The flexible fiberglass poles can bend more than wooden ones, before breaking. This meant that fiberglass poles are able to store more energy than wooden ones, and provide an additional increase in height to the vaulter, when the pole straightens out near the top of the vault.
