Answer:

0.45 s.

Explanation:

From Newton's equation of motion,

s = ut + 1/2gt²........................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, t = time

Given: s = 1.0 m, u = 0 m/s (dropped from height), g = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting into equation 1,

1 = 0(t) + 1/29.81(t²)

1 = 9.81t²/2

2 = 9.81t²

t² = 2/9.81

t² = 0.204

t = √(0.204)

t = 0.45 s.

Hence it takes 0.45 s for the book to reach the elevator floor.

an athlete whirls a 7.00 kg hammer tied to the end of a 1.3 m chain in a horizontal circle the hammer moves at the rate of 1.0 r
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The answer to your question is a = 1.3 m/s²

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the motion of a body that transverse a circular path.

Data

mass = 7 kg

radius = r = 1.3 m

angular rate = w = 1.0 rev/s

centripetal acceleration = a = ?

Formula

a = rw²

Substitution

a = (1.3)(1)²

Simplification and result

a = 1.3 m/s²

A particle covers 10m distance in 2sec. if final velocity is 8m/s, find initial velocity​
klasskru [66]

Explanation:

It is given that a particle covers 10m in first 5s and 10m in next 3s. so using the equation of motion

Case I

20=10u+25a

4=2u+5a..............(1)

Case 2

In next 3s the particle covers more 10m distance. So

20=8u+
