Answer:

g = 15.5 m/s²

Explanation:

In order to find the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of this planet can be calculated by using 2nd equation of motion. The 2nd equation of motion is given as:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height covered by the wrench = 5 m

Vi = Initial Velocity = 0 m/s

t = Time Taken to hit the ground = 0.804 s

g = acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet = ?

Therefore,

5 m = (0 m/s)(0.804 s) + (0.5)(g)(0.804 s)²

g = (5 m)/(0.3232 s²)

<u>g = 15.5 m/s²</u>

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]

A stone is thrown horizontally at 60.0 m/sm/s from the top of a very tall cliff. Calculate its horizontal position and vertical
svp [43]

Answer:

X-Positions:                                         Y-Positions

x(0) = 0                                                   y(0) = 0

x(2) = 120 m                                           y(2) = 19.6 m

x(4) = 240 m                                          y(4) = 78.4 m

x(6) = 360 m                                          y(6) = 176.4 m

x(8) = 480 m                                          y(8) = 313 m

x(10) = 600m                                         y (10) = 490 m

Explanation:

X-Positions

  • First, we choose to take the horizontal direction as our x-axis, and the positive x-axis as positive.
  • After being thrown, in the horizontal direction, no external influence acts on the stone, so it will continue in the same direction at the same initial speed of 60. 0 m/s
  • So, in order to know the horizontal position at any time t, we can apply the definition of average velocity, rearranging terms, as follows:

       x = v_{ox} * t = 60.0 m/s * t(s)

  • It can be seen that after 2 s, the displacement will be 120 m, and each 2 seconds, as the speed is constant, the displacement will increase in the same 120 m each time.

Y-Positions

  • We choose to take the vertical direction as our y-axis, taking the downward direction as our positive axis.
  • As both axes are  perpendicular each other, both movements are independent each other also, so, in the vertical direction, the stone starts from rest.
  • At any moment, it is subject to the acceleration of gravity, g.
  • As the acceleration is constant, we can find the vertical displacement (taking the  height of the cliff as the initial reference level), using the following kinematic equation:

       y = \frac{1}{2} * g* t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 m/s2 * t(s)^{2}

  • Replacing by the values of t, we get the following vertical positions, from the height of the cliff as y = 0:
  • y(2) = 2* 9.8 m/s2 = 19.6 m
  • y(4) = 8* 9.8 m/s2 = 78.4 m
  • y(6) = 18*9.8 m/s2 = 176.4 m
  • y(8) = 32*9.8 m/s2 = 313.6 m
  • y(10)= 50 * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.0 m

A motorcycle traveling at a speed of 44.0 mi/h needs a minimum of 44.0 ft to stop. If the same motorcycle is traveling 79.0 mi/h
Tasya [4]

Answer:

141.78 ft

Explanation:

When speed, u = 44mi/h, minimum stopping distance, s = 44 ft = 0.00833 mi.

Calculating the acceleration using one of Newton's equations of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = 0 mi/h\\\\u = 44 mi/h\\\\s = 0.00833 mi\\\\=> 0^2 = 44^2 + 2 * a * 0.00833\\\\=> 1936 = -0.01666a\\\\a = -116206.48 mi/h^2 or -14.43 m/s^2

Note: The negative sign denotes deceleration.

When speed, v = 79mi/h, the acceleration is equal to when it is 44mi/h i.e. -116206.48 mi/h^2

Hence, we can find the minimum stopping distance using:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = 0 mi/h\\\\u = 79 mi/h\\\\a = -116206.48 mi/h\\\\=> 0^2 = 79^2 + (2 * -116206.48 * s)\\\\6241 = 232412.96s\\\\s = \frac{6241}{232412.96} \\\\s = 0.0268531 mi = 141.78 ft

The minimum stopping distance is 141.78 ft.

The density of gold is 19.3 g cm³. What is the mass of a bar of gold in Kg that measures 6 cm x 4 cmx to 2 cm ?
klemol [59]

Answer: 0.9264 kg

Explanation: [I'll use "cc" for cubic centimeter, instead of cm^3.

The volume is 6cm*4cm*2cm = 48 cm^3 (cc).

Density of Au is 19.3 g/cc

Mass of gold = (48 cc)*(9.3 g/cc) = 926.4 grams Au

1 kg = 1,000 g

(926.4 grams Au)*(1 kg/1,000 g) = 0.9264 kg, 0.93 kg to 2 sig figs

At gold's current price of $57,500/kg, this bar is worth $53,268. Keep it hidden from your lab partner (and instructor).
