A cyclist starts from rest and coasts down a 4.0∘ hill. The mass of the cyclist plus bicycle is 85 kg. Ignore air resistance and

friction.
A) After the cyclist has traveled 180 m , what was the net work done by gravity on the cyclist?

B) How fast is the cyclist going? in m/s

A) change in ht after 180m = 180 * sin(4-deg.) = 12.56m

net work done by gravity on the cyclist = mass * gravity * height diff.

= 85 * 9.8 * 12.56

= 10470J

= 10.5kJ

B) Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * vel.^2 = work done by gravity = 10470J

vel.^2 = 10470 * 2 / 85 = 246.4

vel. = 15.7m/s

Astronaut A can cover 10 meters per minute walking with the heavy shovel. What does
klasskru [66]

Answer:

d) The speed of the astronaut

Explanation:

The sentence describes the speed of the astronaut. This speed value is 10meters per minute.

Now let us understand why;

  • Speed is the distance divided by time. It is a scalar quantity without regard for direction but it has magnitude.
  • The value 10meters per minute clearly shows this instance. We do not know the direction the astronaut is moving towards.
  • Velocity, like speed is the displacement of a body with time. It is a vector quantity and it shows the direction of motion.
  • For example, 10m/s due west is a velocity value because we know the direction.

Therefore, since there is no directional sense, the value indicates speed.

What mathematical formula correctly expresses the relationship between force, mass and acceleration? A. m = F + a B. F = m / a C
IRINA_888 [86]

D. F=ma

F is for force, and that equals two things, M for mass and A for acceleration. When mass is accelerated, it gives you force. Force equals multiplying mass and its acceleration.

A car is moving with an initial relocity of
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

The acceleration of the car, a = 10 m/s²

The time period of travel, t = 5 s

Using the I equations of motion

                     v = u + at

                        = 20 + 10(5)

                        = 20 + 50

                        = 70 m/s

Hence, the final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

A box with a mass of 40 kg sits at rest on a frictionless tile floor. with your foot, you apply a 20 N force in a horizontal dir
Grace [21]

Answer:

0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

according to Newton's second law, we are goven a relationship between force, mass and acceleration, with the formula:

F = m×a

F for force

m for mass

a for acceleration

we use the given data and get:

20 = 40×a

we find a=20/40=0.5m/s²
