Answer:

-1.03 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S. I unit of acceleration is m/s².

Mathematically, acceleration is expressed as

a = (v-u)/t ........................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t  = time.

Given: u = 13.60 m/s, v = 7.20 m/s t = 6.2 s.

Substituting into equation 2

a = (7.20-13.60)/6.2

a = -6.4/6.2

a = -1.03 m/s²

Note: a is negative because, the hockey puck is decelerating.

Hence the average acceleration = -1.03 m/s²

A4.0 kg object is moving with speed 2.0 m/s. A 1.0 kg object is moving with speed 4.0 m/s. Both objects encounter the same const
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Both objects travel the same distance.

(c) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first object = 4.0 kg

Speed of first object = 2.0 m/s

Mass of second object = 1.0 kg

Speed of second object = 4.0 m/s

We need to calculate the stopping distance

For first particle

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

s = distance

Put the value in the equation

0= u^2-2as_{1}

s_{1}=\dfrac{u^2}{2a}....(I)

Using newton law

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

Now, put the value of a in equation (I)

s_{1}=\dfrac{8}{F}

Now, For second object

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

Put the value in the equation

0= u^2-2as_{2}

s_{2}=\dfrac{u^2}{2a}....(I)

Using newton law

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

Now, put the value of a in equation (I)

s_{2}=\dfrac{8}{F}

Hence, Both objects travel the same distance.

starting from rest , a formula one car accelerates uniformly at 25m\s2 for 30secs. what distance does it cover in the last one s
Anestetic [448]

The distance covered in the last second of motion is 737.5 m

Explanation:

The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the suvat equations.

First of all, we have to find the velocity of the car when the last second of motion starts, that is the velocity of the car after t = 29 s. We can use the equation:

v = u + at

where

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a=25 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting t = 29 s,

v=0+(25)(29)=725 m/s

Now we can find the distance covered in the last second of motion by using

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u = 725 m/s is the velocity at the beginning of the last second

t = 1 s is the time interval considered

a=25 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting,

s=(725)(1)+\frac{1}{2}(25)(1)^2=737.5 m

Note that the acceleration of 25 m/s^2 is not realistic for a car, but I still have used the data of the problem.

An athlete performing a long jump leaves the ground at a 27.0 degree angle and lands 7.80m away. What was the takeoff speed?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

=9.72 m/s

Explanation:

From the Newton's laws of motion;

x=2(v²cos∅sin∅)/g

Using geometry we see that 2 cos∅sin∅ = sin 2∅

Therefore, x= (v²sin 2∅)g,  where v is the take off speed x the range and ∅ the launch angle.

Making v the subject of the formula we obtain the following equation.

v=√{xg /(sin 2∅)}

x=7.80

∅=27.0

v=√{7.8×9.8/sin(27×2)}

v=√94.485

v=9.72 m/s

How to change mass but keep the force the same?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
