Answer:

v = -14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial location of the ball, X₁ = 10 m

Final position of the ball, X₂ = -25 m

Time taken to travel is, t = 2.5 s

The average velocity of the ball is given by the formula,

V = X₂ - X₁ / t m/s

Substituting the values in the above equation,

V = -25 - 10 / 2.5

= -14 m/s

The negative sign in the velocity indicates that ball rolls in the opposite direction.

Hence, the average velocity of the ball is v = -14 m/s

Answer:

a. Final velocity, V = 2.179 m/s.

b. Final velocity, V = 7.071 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Acceleration = 0.500m/s²

a. To find the velocity of the boat after it has traveled 4.75 m

Since it started from rest, initial velocity is equal to 0m/s.

Now, we would use the third equation of motion to find the final velocity.

$V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS$

Where;

V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.
U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.
a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
S represents the displacement measured in meters.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$V^{2} = 0^{2} + 2*0.500*4.75$

$V^{2} = 4.75$

Taking the square root, we have;

$V^{2} = \sqrt {4.75}$

Final velocity, V = 2.179 m/s.

b. To find the velocity if the boat has traveled 50 m.

$V^{2} = 0^{2} + 2*0.500*50$

$V^{2} = 50$

Taking the square root, we have;

$V^{2} = \sqrt {50}$

Final velocity, V = 7.071 m/s.

A strong man and a weak man are trying to carry a ladder . How should they carry it in such a way that the weak person feels les

dsp73

Answer:

The strong person should carry the ladder at the front end and the weak person should carry it at the back end.

Explanation:

this is because in such a case the strong person has to pull the ladder whereas the weak person at the back end have to push the ladder. In such case it is easier to push because the weak person can use the force of gravity of his own body for pushing the ladde.

However in case of pulling the ladder one has to overcome his own gravity to pull the heavy object
