How do i calculate acceleration? pls help! thanks :)
1 answer:
The acceleration is 2 mph/min
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity. It is defined as follows:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v
For the car in this problem, we have (taking North as positive direction):
u = 25 mph
v = 35 mph
t = 5 min
Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:

Answer:
Tension in the supporting cable is = 4,866 N ≅4.9 KN
Explanation:
First of all, we need to understand that tension is a force, so the motion law
F = Ma applies perfectly.
From Newtons third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. This means that the force experienced by the elevator, is equal to the tension experienced by the spring.
Parameters given:
Mass of load = 1650 kg
Acceleration of load = ?
The acceleration of the load can be obtained by diving the change in velocity by the time taken. But we need to know the time taken for the motion to 41 m.
Time taken = distance covered / velocity
= = 3.73 seconds
∴Acceleration = ( initial velocity - final velocity )/ time taken
Note: Final velocity is = 0 since the body came to a rest.
Acceleration = = 2.95m/
Force acting on the cable = mass of elevator × acceleration of elevator
= 1650 × 2.95 = 4869.5 kg ≅ 4.9 KN
Answer:
1%
Explanation:
Percent error can be found by dividing the absolute error (difference between measure and actual value) by the actual value, then multiplying by 100.
The measured value is 2.02 meters and the actual value is 2.00 meters.
First, evaluate the fraction. Subtract 2.00 from 2.02
Next, divide 0.02 by 2.00
Finally, multiply 0.01 and 100.
The percent error is 1%.
