Two kids are playing on a newly installed slide, which is 3 m long. John, whose mass is 30 kg, slides down into William (20 kg),
yuradex [85]

Answer:

v=3.564\ m.s^{-1}

\Delta v =2.16\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of John, m_J=30\ kg
  • mass of William, m_W=30\ kg
  • length of slide, l=3\ m

(A)

height between John and William, h=1.8\ m

<u>Using the equation of motion:</u>

v_J^2=u_J^2+2 (g.sin\theta).l

where:

v_J = final velocity of John at the end of the slide

u_J = initial velocity of John at the top of the slide = 0

Now putting respective :

v_J^2=0^2+2\times (9.8\times \frac{1.8}{3})\times 3

v_J=5.94\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Now using the law of conservation of momentum at the bottom of the slide:</u>

<em>Sum of initial momentum of kids before & after collision must be equal.</em>

m_J.v_J+m_w.v_w=(m_J+m_w).v

where: v = velocity with which they move together after collision

30\times 5.94+0=(30+20)v

v=3.564\ m.s^{-1} is the velocity with which they leave the slide.

(B)

  • frictional force due to mud, f=105\ N

<u>Now we find the force along the slide due to the body weight:</u>

F=m_J.g.sin\theta

F=30\times 9.8\times \frac{1.8}{3}

F=176.4\ N

<em><u>Hence the net force along the slide:</u></em>

F_R=71.4\ N

<em>Now the acceleration of John:</em>

a_j=\frac{F_R}{m_J}

a_j=\frac{71.4}{30}

a_j=2.38\ m.s^{-2}

<u>Now the new velocity:</u>

v_J_n^2=u_J^2+2.(a_j).l

v_J_n^2=0^2+2\times 2.38\times 3

v_J_n=3.78\ m.s^{-1}

Hence the new velocity is slower by

\Delta v =(v_J-v_J_n)

\Delta v =5.94-3.78= 2.16\ m.s^{-1}

Calculate the acceleration of a 270000-kg jumbo jet just before takeoff when the thrust on the aircraft is 160000 N .
Radda [10]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.59 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{160000}{270000}  =  \frac{16}{27}  \\  = 0.592592...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.59 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
