An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 0.281 m/s2 to the South for a time of 5.44 seconds. It then increases

its acceleration to 1.43 m/s2 to the South for an additional 2.42 seconds. What is the total distance moved by the object, in units of meters?

Answer:

12.0 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 0.281 m/s²

t₁ = 5.44 s

a₂ = 1.43 m/s²

t₂ = 2.42 s

Find: x

First, find the velocity reached at the end of the first acceleration.

v = at + v₀

v = (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s) + 0 m/s

v = 1.53 m/s

Next, find the position reached at the end of the first acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 0 m + (0 m/s) (5.44 s) + ½ (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s)²

x = 4.16 m

Finally, find the position reached at the end of the second acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 4.16 m + (1.53 m/s) (2.42 s) + ½ (1.43 m/s²) (2.42 s)²

x = 12.0 m

Reika [66]

Answer:

179.47m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Substitute

7750(179)+72(230) = (7750+72)v

1,387,250+16560 = 7822v

1,403,810 = 7822v

v = 1,403,810/7822

v= 179.47m/s

Hence the final velocity of the probe is 179.47m/s

A car travels 82 meters do North and 14 seconds the car turns around and travels 44 m due south in four seconds what is the magn
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

2.11 m/s

Explanation:

Take north to be positive and south to be negative.

Average velocity = displacement / time

v = (82 m + -44 m) / (14 s + 4 s)

v = 2.11 m/s

The velocity is positive, so it is 2.11 m/s north.  The magnitude of the velocity is 2.11 m/s.

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.
Nataliya [291]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the definition of speed as a function of distance and time, and the speed of air in the sound, as well

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where,

V= Velocity

d= distance

t = time

Re-arrange the equation to find the distance we have,

d=vt

Replacing with our values

d= (343)(3.7)

d= 1269.1m

It is understood that the sound comes and goes across the entire lake therefore, the length of the lake is half the distance found, that is

L_{lake} = \frac{d}{2}

L_{lake} = \frac{1269.1}{2}

L_{lake} = 634.55m

Therefore the length of the lake is 634,55m
