We want to find the work done and power exerted, let’s start with work first.

We know that the equation for work is: W = F * D. We need to find the force which we can find by using: F = M * A.

Mass: 300kg
Acceleration (using equation from photo): 1.25 m/s^2

(The equation says x but can be used with y values)

If you are confused about how I found the acceleration; I plugged in 2.5 for the final y value, 0 for the initial y value, 0 for the initial velocity and 4 for t squared.

To solve, for acceleration it’s a matter of simple algebra. You can subtract the initial y position and the initial velocity from the final y position because they are 0. This leaves you with 2.5 m = 1/2a * t^2, from here I multiplied 2.5 by 2 to get rid of the 1/2. Now I have 5 = a * t^2. T^2 is just 2 squared, so four. Simply divide 5 by 4, and boom, you get 1.25 m/s^2.

Force = 300 kg * 1.25 m/s^2 = 375 Newtons

So, work = 500 N * 2.5 m = 1000 Joules

Power: W/t

So, Power = 1000 J / 2 seconds = 500 Watts

Hope this helps!

An object starts at rest. Its acceleration over 30 seconds is shown in the graph below:
ddd [48]

Answer:

The instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds is 12.5 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

An object starts at rest. Its acceleration over 30 seconds.

We need to calculate the instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds

We know that,

Area under the acceleration -time graph gives speed.

According to figure,

speed = area\ of\ tringle

speed=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h

speed =\dfrac{1}{2}\times5\times5

speed-12.5\ m/s

Hence, The instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds is 12.5 m/s.

You are a crane operator using a wrecking ball to demolish an old building. You can choose to use a 100-kg ball or a 150-kg ball
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The two balls, although of different masses, could be made to have the same demolishing force by setting the velocity of the 100 kg ball to 1.5 times the velocity of the 150 kg ball.

That is if V₁ is the velocity of the 150 kg ball and  V₂ is the velocity of the 100 kg ball then V₂  = 1.5×V₁ for the demolishing effect of the two balls to be equal.

Explanation:

To answer the we are required to explain the meaning of momentum and state its properties

Momentum is a physical property of an object in motion. It indicates the amount of motion inherent in the object.  An object in motion is said to have momentum

The types of momentum possessed by an object can be classified into either

1, Linear momentum or

2. Angular momentum

An object moving with a velocity, v has linear momentum while a spinning object has an angular momentum

The momentum is given by the formula

P = m × V

Where m = mass and

V = velocity

Newtons second law of motion states that, the force acting on an object is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum produced and acting in the direction of the force

Properties of momentum

From the above statements it means that the two balls can be made equivalent by having the appropriate amount of speed. That iis the two balls can have the same momentum thus for equal momentum effect, we have

150 kg × V₁ = 100 kg × V₂

or V₂ = 1.5×V₁

please help In a video game, a ball moving at 0.6 meter/second collides with a wall. After the collision, the velocity of the ba
viva [34]

Answer:

the acceleration during the collision is: - 5  \frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Using the formula:

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

we get:

a=\frac{-0.4-0.6}{0.2} \,\frac{m}{s^2} =\frac{-1}{0.2} \,\frac{m}{s^2} =-5\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

The relationship between the Period (T) caused by the oscillation of the mass on the end of a hanging spring and the mass (m) is
blondinia [14]

Answer:

T= 2p√m/k

Explanation:

This is because the period of oscillation of the mass of spring system is directly proportional to the square root of the mass and it is inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant.

The period of a mass on a spring is given by the equation

T=2π√m/k.

Where T is the period,

M is mass

K is spring constant.

An increase in mass in a spring increases the period of oscillation and decrease in mass decrease period of oscillation.
