A skier starting from rest skis straight down a slope 50 meters long in 5.0 seconds. What is the magnitude of the acceleration.

1 answer:

6 0

His average speed all the way is

   (50 meters) / (5 sec) = 10 m/s .

But, if the acceleration is uniform all the way down, then

Average speed = (1/2) (start speed + end speed)

Start speed = 0.
So
   Average speed = (1/2) (0 + end speed)

   = (1/2) of end speed .

   10 m/s = (1/2) of end speed

   End speed (at the bottom) = 20 m/s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

      = (20 m/s) / (5 sec)

   =    4 m/s² .

A projectile is fired vertically upwards and reaches a height of 78.4 m. Find the velocity of projection and the time it takes t

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

1.) U = 39.2 m/s

2.) t = 4s

Explanation: Given that the

height H = 78.4m

The projectile is fired vertically upwards under the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Let's assume that the maximum height = 78.4m. And at maximum height, final velocity V = 0

Velocity of projections can be achieved by using the formula

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

g will be negative as the object is moving against the gravity

0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 78.4

U^2 = 1536.64

U = sqrt( 1536.64 )

U = 39.2 m/s

The time it takes to reach its highest point can be calculated by using the formula;

V = U - gt

Where V = 0

Substitute U and t into the formula

0 = 39.2 - 9.8 × t

9.8t = 39.2

t = 39.2/9.8

t = 4 seconds.

Using the definition of moment of inertia, calculate icm, the moment of inertia about the center of mass, for this object.

Step2247 [10]

The masses have no inertia about their own CM, and "the object" is the two masses. 
1. Icm (at point A) = 2mr^2

Name two laboratory equipment in the picture . b ) Identify two mistakes that these people in the laboratory above are doing

pishuonlain [190]

The two laboratory equipment in the picture are beaker and chemicals.The people in the picture are not wearing any protective gears while (a) working in the laboratory (b) Throwing the chemicals on the floor.

Among the many items that would be considered general lab equipment are pipettes, scales, centrifuges, Bunsen burners, freezers, hot plates, incubators, coolers, stirrers, water baths, and fume hoods

The dangers of working in a laboratory setting include:

Chemical hazards: Handling toxic substances can cause irritation and carcinogenicity.

Biological hazards: Biological hazards include hazards from working with small animals, working with blood borne pathogens and working with biological agents, such as viruses and bacteria.

Physical hazards: Physical hazards include exposure to noise, poor posture and the explosibility and flammability of substances.

Safety hazards: Safety hazards include unbalanced centrifuges, danger when handling hot sterilized items and electrical hazards, such as shock, explosions, blasts and electrocutions.

Allergy hazards: A common allergy hazard in the laboratory setting is a latex allergy, as many of the materials used in a laboratory setting are latex.

10 PTS.

gayaneshka [121]

1.2 x (2.2 x 10⁵) = 264,000 Ω

0.8 x (2.2 x 10⁵) = 176,000 Ω

With a 'nominal' value of 220,000 Ω, it could actually be anywhere between 176,000Ω and 264,000Ω .
