Answer:

The duration of the impact is 0.005384 seconds

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.43 kg

v = 5.2 m/s

x = 0.014 m

Knowing the formulas

v^{2}_{f} = v^{2}_{i} + 2ax\\0 = 5.2^{2}  + 2a*0.014\\a = - 965.71 m/s^{2} \\\\vf = vi + at\\0 = 5.2 + (965.71)t\\t = 0.005384 s

Answer:

5.385×10⁻³

Explanation:

First we find the acceleration

Using the equation of motion,

v² = u²+2as........................ Equation 1

Where v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

make a the subject of the equation,

a = (v²-u²)/2s................. Equation 2

Given: v = 0 m/s (comes to rest), u = 5.2 m/s, s = 0.014 m

Substitute into equation 2

a = (0²-5.2²)/(2×0.014)

a = -27.04/0.028

a = -965.71 m/s²

Finally Using

a = (v-u)/t

where t = Duration of impact

make t the subject of the equation

t = (v-u)/a.................... Equation 3

Given: v = 0 m/s, u = 5.2 m/s, a = -965.71 m/s²

Substitute into equation 3

t = (0-5.2)/-965.71

t = -5.2/-965.71

t = 5.385×10⁻³ s.

Hence the duration of impact =  5.385×10⁻³

Why do astronauts float aboard the international space station?
lianna [129]
They’re falling toward earth & moving forward at about the same velocity. because the downward and forward forces are nearly equal, the astronauts are not pulled in any specific direction, so they float . <span>

1. A 1,000-kg car has 50,000 joules of kinetic energy. What is its speed?
bulgar [2K]
Use KE= 1/2mv^2
So... 
50,000=(.5)(1,000)v^2
50,000=500 x v^2
Divide 500 on both sides 
100 = v^2 
Square root both sides to get rid of v^2 
Therefore v = 10 m/s
