Answer:

1.52 seconds

Explanation:

Step 1: identity the given parameters

Initial velocity (u) = 12m/s

Height above ground (h1) = 4m

Final velocity (V) = 0

Step 2: calculate the height travelled by the object from 4m height (h2).

V^2 = U^2 -2gh

0= 12^2-2(9.8*h)

2(9.8*h) = 12^2

19.6*h = 144

h = 144/19.6

h = 7.347 m

Total height above ground (ht) = 4m +7.347m = 11.347m

Step 3: calculate the time reach ground

T = √(2h/g)

T = √(2*11.347/9.8)

T= √(22.694/9.8)

T= √2.316

T= 1.52 seconds

<span><span>anonymous </span> 4 years ago</span>Any time you are mixing distance and acceleration a good equation to use is <span>ΔY=<span>V<span>iy</span></span>t+1/2a<span>t2</span></span> I would split this into two segments - the rise and the fall. For the fall, Vi = 0 since the player is at the peak of his arc and delta-Y is from 1.95 to 0.890. For the upward part of the motion the initial velocity is unknown and the final velocity is zero, but motion is symetrical - it takes the same amount of time to go up as it does to go down. Physiscists often use the trick "I'm going to solve a different problem, that I know will give me the same answer as the one I was actually asked.) So for the first half you could also use Vi = 0 and a downward delta-Y to solve for the time. Add the two times together for the total. The alternative is to calculate the initial and final velocity so that you have more information to work with.

Trava [24]

Answer:

3 N to the right

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the car:

- A force of 10 N towards the right

- A force of 7 N towards the left

Therefore, the net force is given by the difference between the two, since they are in opposite directions:

F=10 N-7 N=3 N

And the direction is to the right, since the force to the right has greater magnitude than the force to the left.

Which will result in a greater increase in kinetic energy, doubling the velocity or doubling the mass.
Naddik [55]
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. It is calculated by 1/2mv², where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity.
Therefore, kinetic energy is dependent on both mass of the body and the velocity. An increase in mass increases the kinetic energy, an increase in velocity also increases kinetic energy of the body. Thus, doubling the mass and doubling the velocity will both increase the kinetic energy of the body.

A fully loaded cart with a mass of 2200 kg starts from the top of a 12-meter hill on a roller coaster.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

A. potential energy is 258720 Joule

Explanation:

A.Gravitational potential energy is: PE = m × g × h

velocity =  15.33 m/s when the car reaches the bottom of the hill.

where, m = mass

            g = acceleration due to gravity

            h = height from the bottom of hill.

The potential energy is : m×g×h

                                     =(2200×9.8×12)

                                     =258720 Joule

B. at the bottom of the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so PE at top = KE at bottom

                    kinetic energy= \frac{1}{2}(m*v^{2})

where v = velocity

          m= mass

therefore,               v=\sqrt\frac{2*K.E}{m} {}

                         or,  v=\sqrt{\frac{2*258720}{2200} }

                         or,   v=15.33 m/s
