There are varieties of kinematic equations that so long as you have 3 known variables, you can find a 4th unknown.

vi = 2.2m/s

d = 17.5m

t = 5.5s

a = ?

As can be seen here, you have 3 out of the 4 variables.  So the kinematic equation which relates these variables is:

x = vi*t + (1/2)at^2

(17.5) = (2.2)(5.5) + (1/2)a(5.5)^2  Plug in your knowns

17.5 = 12.1 + 15.1a  Combine values

5.4 = 15.1a  Isolate a

0.36 m/s^2 = a

I just need x isolated
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

x=\frac{-y+\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

x=\frac{-y-\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

Explanation:

rx+y=\frac{t}{x}\\\\x(rx+y)=(\frac{t}{x})x\\\\rx^2+yx=t\\\\rx^2+yx-t=t-t\\\\rx^2+yx-t=0

Solve using the quadratic formula.

x=\frac{-y+\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

x=\frac{-y-\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

Jenny and Alyssa are members of the cross-country team. On a training run, Jenny starts off and runs at a constant 3.8 m/s. Alys
guapka [62]

Answer:

285 seconds

Explanation:

Jenny speed is 3.8 m/s

Alyssa speed in 4.0 m/s

Alyssa starts after 15 seconds

Find the distance covered by Jenny, when Alyssa starts

Distance=Speed*time

Distance covered by Jenny in 15 seconds= 3.8×15=57m

Relative speed of the two members heading same direction will be;

4.0m/s-3.8m/s=0.2m/s

To find the time Alyssa catch up with Jenny you divide the distance to be covered by Alyssa by the relative speed of the two

Distance=57m, relative speed=0.2m/s  t=57/0.2 =285 seconds

=4.75 minutes

Find the energy in joules required to lift a 55.0 megagram object a distance of 500cm
pantera1 [17]

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
so 55 megagrams = 55,000 kilograms

100 cm = 1 meter
so 500 cm = 5 meters

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

========================================

Work = increase in potential energy =

               (weight) x (height) =

             (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

             (55,000 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m) =

                     2,695,000 joules .

A boy exerts a 36-N horizontal force as he pulls a 52-N sled across a cement sidewalk at a constant speed. What is the coefficie
Vesna [10]

Answer:

0.69

Explanation:

Sum of the forces on the sled in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn - 52 N = 0

Fn = 52 N

Sum of the forces on the sled in the x direction:

∑F = ma

36 N - Fn μ = 0

Fn μ = 36 N

μ = 36 N / Fn

Substitute:

μ = 36 N / 52 N

μ = 0.69
