A train's velocity is slowly decreasing as it approaches a station. About 1 km before it reaches the station, several stowaways

jump off the train. What happens to the amount of acceleration if the force remains constant? Assume the train is traveling in the positive direction.

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

F = ma

If F stays the same and m decreases, then a increases.

Therefore, the magnitude of the train's acceleration increases (the acceleration becomes more negative).

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth?
dexar [7]

Answer:

1.08 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) reached = 1.45 m

Time of flight (T) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1.45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.45/4.9)

t = 0.54 s

Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).

Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 0.54

T = 1.08 s

Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.
