That's a weird graph, but judging from the units the acceleration is the slope of the graph.

a = (0.8 - 0.3)/(0.16 - 0.055) = 4.76 m/s²

A tiger travels 3m/s^2 for 4.1s,what was its initial speed if it's final speed was 55k/h?

zaharov [31]

Acceleration a=3m/s^2
time t= 4.1seconds
Final velocity V= 55km/h
initial velocity U= ?
First convert V to m/s
36km/h=10m/s
55km/h= 55*10/36=15.28m/s
Using the formula V= U+at
U= V-at
U= 15.28-3*4.1=15.28-12.3=2.98m/s
Initial velocity U= 2.98m/s or 10.73km/h (Using the conversion rate 36km/h=10m/s)

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.

miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

$\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}$

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.

A ball thrown with 50N of force accelerates at 25 m/s2. What is the mass of the ball?

MrRissso [65]

F=ma
Force is 50N. Acceleration is 25 m/s^2.
50N=m*25 m/s^2
Divide both sides by 25.
mass=2 kg
