a stone is thrown horizonttaly from a cliff of a hill with an initial velocity of 30m/s it hits the ground at a horizontal dista

ELEN [110]

Answer:

a) Time = 2.67 s

b) Height = 35.0 m

Explanation:

a) The time of flight can be found using the following equation:

$x_{f} = x_{0} + v_{0_{x}}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$x_{f}$ : is the final position in the horizontal direction = 80 m

$x_{0}$ : is the initial position in the horizontal direction = 0

$v_{0_{x}}$ : is the initial velocity in the horizontal direction = 30 m/s

a: is the acceleration in the horizontal direction = 0 (the stone is only accelerated by gravity)

t: is the time =?

By entering the above values into equation (1) and solving for "t", we can find the time of flight of the stone:

$t = \frac{x_{f}}{v_{0}} = \frac{80 m}{30 m/s} = 2.67 s$

b) The height of the hill is given by:

$y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{f}$ : is the final position in the vertical direction = 0

$y_{0}$ : is the initial position in the vertical direction =?

$v_{0_{y}}$ : is the initial velocity in the vertical direction =0 (the stone is thrown horizontally)

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Hence, the height of the hill is:

$y_{0} = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*(2.67 s)^{2} = 35.0 m$

I hope it helps you!

The brakes of a 125 kg sled are applied while it is moving at 8.1 m/s, which exerts a force of 261 N to slow the sled down. How

sammy [17]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the sled = 125 kg

v₀ = initial speed of the sled = 8.1 m/s

v = final speed of sled = 0 m/s

F = force applied by the brakes in opposite direction of motion = 261

d = stopping distance for the sled

Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem

- F d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

- (261) d = (0.5) (125) (0² - 8.1²)

d = 15.7 m

The wing of an airplane experiences the forces as depicted in the vector diagram to the right. Using both one and two dimensiona

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

A.) 3605.6 N

B.) 33.7 degree

Explanation:

To find the result force acting on the wing of the airplane, we need to resolve the forces into x and y components

Resolving into x component :

Sum of forces = 3500 - 500 = 3000N

Resolving into y component:

Sum of forces = 2000N

Resultant force Fr = sqrt ( Fx^2 + Fy^2)

Fr = sqrt ( 3000^2 + 2000^2 )

Fr = sqrt ( 9000000 + 4000000 )

Fr = sqrt ( 13000000)

Fr = 3605.6 N

Therefore, resultant force acting on the wing is 3605.6 N

The direction of the vector will be:

Tan Ø = Fy / Fx

Substitute Fx and Fy into the formula

Tan Ø = 2000 / 3000

Tan Ø = 0.66666

Ø = tan^-1(0. 66666)

Ø = 33.7 degree.

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1.2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is t

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

Explanation:

What is acceleration?

It is the change in velocity with respect to time, or the rate of change of velocity.

We can write this as:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}$

Where

a is the acceleration

v is velocity

t is time

$\Delta$ is "change in"

For this problem , we are given

a = 1.2

t = 10

Putting into formula, we get:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\1.2=\frac{\Delta v}{10}\\\Delta v = 1.2*10\\\Delta v = 12$

So, the change in velocity is 12 m/s

The change in velocity can also be written as:

$\Delta v = Final \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity$

It is given Final Velocity = 16, so we put it into formula and find Initial Velocity. Shown Below:

$\Delta v = Final \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity\\12=16-Initial \ Velocity\\Initial \ Velocity = 16 - 12 = 4$

hence,

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s
