uysha [10]

Answer:The sled slides 16.875m before rest.

Explanation:

$a=\frac{F}{m} =\frac{12N}{20kg}$

a=0.6 m/s²

$Vf=0=Vi-a.t$

$t=\frac{Vi}{a} =t=\frac{4.5m/s}{0.6 m/s2} =t=7.5seg$

$d= Vi.t - \frac{a.t^{2}}{2}$

$d= 4.5 * 7.5 - \frac{0.6*7.5^{2} }{2} \\\\d=16.875m$

a car takes off from rest and covers a distance of 80m on a straight road in 10s.calculate the magnitude of its acceleration

olasank [31]

$▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪$

Here's the solution :

Let's find the final velocity :

$\dfrac{displacement}{time}$

$\dfrac{80}{10}$

$8 \: \: ms {}^{ - 1}$

Initial velocity (u) = 0 (cuz it started from rest)

Final velocity (v) = 8 m/s

Time taken (t) = 10 sec

now, we know that :

$acceleration = \dfrac{v - u}{t}$

$\dfrac{8 - 0}{10}$

$\dfrac{8}{10}$

$0.8 \: \: m {s}^{ - 2}$

Acceleration = 0.8 m/s²
