A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.1 m/s. How long does h

e have to get out of the way if the shot was released at a height of 2.27 m, and he is 1.96 m tall?

We need to use the kinematic equation
S=ut+(1/2)at^2
where
S=displacement (+=up, in metres)
u=initial velocity (m/s)
t=time (seconds)
a=acceleration (+=up, in m/s^2)

Substitute values
S=displacement = 1.96-2.27 = -0.31 m (so that shot does not hit his head)
u=11.1
a=-9.81 (acceleration due to gravity)

-0.31=11.1t+(1/2)(-9.81)t^2
Rearrange and solve for t
-4.905t^2+11.1t-0.31=0
t=-0.02756 or t=2.291 seconds 
Reject the negative root to give
t=2.29 seconds (to 3 significant figures)

What is the weight of the body under the influence of a force of 10N reaches a speed of 1.5 m / s in 3s?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

F=ma

F=10N

A=v-u upon t

=1.5-0 upon 3

=0.5m per second squared

Then do force divided by. Accelaration and multiply by gravity.

Why is there a difference between potential and kinetic energy?
inn [45]

Potential energy is stored energy because it has the potential to do something which laters turns into kinetic energy which is the moving energy.

A chain has a mass of 10.0 kg. It is hanging freely, at rest, with one end connected to a ceiling hook.
Elza [17]

Answer:

Identify the object to be analyzed. For some systems in equilibrium, it may be necessary to consider more than one object. Identify all forces acting on the object. Identify the questions you need to answer. Identify the information given in the problem. In realistic problems, some key information may be implicit in the situation rather than provided explicitly.
