<span>The equation to be used here would be:

v = u - gt
 where u is the initial speed, g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is the time it takes

a) u = 28 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s^2, t = 2s
 
v = 28 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * 2s = 8.4 m/s after 2 s the lava bomb is still travelling upwards
 
b) u = 28 m/s g = 9.8 m/s^2 t = 3s
 
v = 28 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * 3s = -1.4 m/s after 3s the lave bomb is travelling downwards</span>

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.550 m/s. The to
Arisa [49]

Answer: 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of the sled, v = 0.55 m/s

Total mass, m = 96.5 kg

Mass of the rock, m1 = 0.3 kg

Speed of the rock, v1 = 17.5 m/s

To solve this, we would use the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.5 kg * 0.550 m/s = 53.08 Ns

When the man throws the rock forward

rock:

m1 = 0.300 kg

V1 = 17.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

m2 = 96.5 kg - 0.300 kg = 96.2 kg

v2 = ?

Law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum is equal before and after the throw.

momentum before throw = momentum after throw

53.08 = 0.300 * 17.5 + 96.2 * v2

53.08 = 5.25 + 96.2 * v2

v2 = [53.08 - 5.25 ] / 96.2

v2 = 47.83 / 96.2

v2 = 0.497 ~= 0.50 m/s

An astronaut stands by the rim of a crater on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is 1.62 m/. To determine the depth of
leva [86]

Answer;

=32.15 meters

Explanation;

Use the formula  

s= ut+ 0.5 a (t)^2 to find out 's'  

where s= distance traveled  

u=initial velocity which is zero in this case  

t= time taken to travel 's' distance  

a=acceleration (due to gravity on moon i.e 1.62 m/s^2 )  

Therefore;

S = 0.5 * 1.62 * 6.3 * 6.3

    = 32.1489 meters

Thus; the crater is 32.15 meters deep.

<h2>Option 3,  216 m is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

We have initial velocity, u = 15 m/s

Time, t = 12 seconds

Final velocity, v = 21 m/s

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Substituting

                     21 = 15 + a x 12

                       a = 0.5 m/s²

Now we have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

                           21² = 15² + 2 x 0.5 x s

                            s = 216 m

       Displacement = 216 m

Option 3,  216 m is the correct answer.

Which of the following is an instantaneous speed?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

A: All of the above

Explanation:

The instantaneous speed of an object is simply the current seed of the object at any given time. The SI unit is m/S and it is a vector quantity.

Therefore, according to the given options, they all have SI units that are consistent with distance and time which makes them all an example of instantaneous speed.
