The rider's horizontal motion, and how much ground he covers before he hits it, have nothing to do with how long he takes to hit the ground.  The problem is simply:  "How long does it take an object to fall 1.12 m from rest ?"

This seems like a good time to use this formula:

Distance fallen from rest = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)²

The problem doesn't tell us what planet the skateboarder is exercising  on. I'm going to assume it's on Earth, where the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².  And now, here's the solution to the problem I just invented:

1.12 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²

Time²  = (1.12 m) / (9.8 m/s²)

Time²  = 0.1143 sec²

Time = √(0.1143 sec² )

<em>Time = 0.34 second</em>

What force is required to accelerate to 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s?
g100num [7]

Force required to accelerate 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s ?

Mass = 10 kg

Acceleration = 5.9 m/s^2

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Force = 10 kg * 5.9 m/s^2

Force = 59 kg m /s^2 = 59 N

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.

g Power is _________________the force required to push something the work done by a system the speed of an object the rate that
Levart [38]

Answer:

the rate that the energy of a system is transformed

Explanation:

We can define energy as the capacity or ability to do work. Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate at which energy is transformed. It can also be regarded as the time rate of energy transfer. In older physics literature, power is sometimes referred to as activity.

Power is given by energy/time. Its unit is watt which is defined as joule per second. Another popular unit of power is horsepower. 1 horsepower = 746 watts.

Very large magnitude of power is measured in killowats and megawatts.

Tyrone, an 85-kg teenager, runs off the end of a horizontal pier and lands on a free-floating 130-kg raft that was initially at
Ghella [55]

Answer:u=4.04 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass m=85 kg

mass of Raft M=130 kg

velocity of raft and man  v=1.6 m/s

Let initial speed of Tyrone is u

Conserving Momentum as there is no external Force

mu=(M+m)v

85\times u=(85+130)\cdot 1.6

u=\frac{215}{85}\cdot 1.6

u=2.529\cdot 1.6=4.04 m/s

If a bullet travels at 593.0 m/s, what is its speed in miles per hour?
Ksenya-84 [330]

We have 1 \; mile = 1609.34\; meters. So, 1 \; meter = \frac{1}{1609.34} \;mile.

1 \; hour = 3600 \; s. So 1 \; s = \frac{1}{3600}  \; hour.

Thus we can convert the units of the given quantity.

That is,

593\;m/s=593\;\frac{1/1609.34}{1/3600} \;miles/hour\\&#10;593\;m/s=1,326.51\;miles/hour.

The quantity is converted to the required units.
