Answer:
<h2>1.17 m/s²</h2>
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula
f is the force
m is the mass
From the question we have
We have the final answer as
<h3>1.17 m/s²</h3>
Hope this helps you
We want to find how much momentum the dumbbell has at the moment it strikes the floor. Let's use this kinematics equation:
Vf² = Vi² + 2ad
Vf is the final velocity of the dumbbell, Vi is its initial velocity, a is its acceleration, and d is the height of its fall.
Given values:
Vi = 0m/s (dumbbell starts falling from rest)
a = 10m/s² (we'll treat downward motion as positive, this doesn't affect the result as long as we keep this in mind)
d = 80×10⁻²m
Plug in the values and solve for Vf:
Vf² = 2(10)(80×10⁻²)
Vf = ±4m/s
Reject the negative root.
Vf = 4m/s
The momentum of the dumbbell is given by:
p = mv
p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.
Given values:
m = 10kg
v = 4m/s (from previous calculation)
Plug in the values and solve for p:
p = 10(4)
p = 40kg×m/s
