Answer:

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2).

A football is kicked from the ground with a velocity of 38m/s at an angle of 40 degrees and eventually lands at the same height.

Anastasy [175]

Initially, the velocity vector is $\langle 38cos(40^{\circ}),38sin(40^{\circ}) \rangle=\langle 29.110, 24.426 \rangle$ . At the same height, the x-value of the vector will be the same, and the y-value will be opposite (assuming no air resistance). Assuming perfect reflection off the ground, the velocity vector is the same. After 0.2 seconds at 9.8 seconds, the y-value has decreased by $4.9(0.2)^2$ , so the velocity is $\langle 29.110, 24.426-0.196 \rangle = \langle 29.110, 24.23 \rangle$ .

Converting back to direction and magnitude, we get $\langle r,\theta \rangle=\langle \sqrt{29.11^2+24.23^2},tan^{-1}(\frac{29.11}{24.23}) \rangle = \langle 37.87,50.2^{\circ}\rangle$

An acorn falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.8 s. How far did the acorn fall . Use g = 9.8 m/s^2. Round your final result

mylen [45]

The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.

Then using the second law of equation,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so

$s=0+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 0.8 \times 0.8\right)=\frac{6.272}{2}=3.136 \mathrm{m}$

So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

I will mark as the brainliest answer<br><br>plz 8,9,10

blagie [28]

Answer:

8. acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = 1 unit .

9. acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = -1 unit.

10. acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = 0 units.

Explanation:

8. i) acceleration = velocity / time

ii) In this figure velocity = time

iii) therefore acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = 1 unit .

9. i) acceleration = velocity / time

ii) In this figure 4 = m + 5, therefore m = -1

therefore velocity = (-0.5 $\times$ time) + 5

iii) therefore acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = -1 units.

10.) velocity is constant at 2

therefore acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = 0 units
