A constant force of 12N is applied for 3.0s to a body initially at rest. The final velocity of the body is 6.0ms–1. What is the

sp2606 [1]

From the question,
$u = 0m {s}^{ - 1}$
$v = 6m {s}^{ - 1}$

$t = 3s$
$F=12N$

Using Impulse, the product of the constant force, F and time t equals the product of the mass of the body and change in velocity.

$Ft =m(v-u)$

$12(3.0)=m(6.0- \: 0)$
This implies that

$36.0 = 6m$
$m = \frac{36.0}{6.0}$
$\therefore \: m = 6.0kg$

You can also use the equation of linear motion,
$v = u + at$
$6 = 0 + a(3)$
$6 = 3a$
$a = \frac{6}{3}$

$a = 2 {ms}^{ - 2}$
But
$F=ma$
$12 = m(2)$
$12 = 2m$
$\frac{12}{2} = m$
$\therefore \: m = 6kg$

What is the mechanical energy of a 500kg rollercoaster car moving with a speed of 3m/s at the top hill that is 30m high

koban [17]

K.E = 1/2*m*v^2 = 1/2(500)(3)^2 = 2250 J

m*g*h = 500(9.8)(30) = 147000 J

2250 + 147000 = 149250

Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. boat a goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. boat

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

Explanation:

Case 1: Boat 1

Speed of boat = $\frac{distance of river}{time}$

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

While going to another end

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{48}$

time = 1 hour

While going back,

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{48}$

time = 1 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 for the round trip is 2 hour.

Case 2: Boat 2

Speed of boat = $\frac{distance of river}{time}$

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

While going to another end

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{24}$

time = 2 hour

While going back,

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{72}$

time = 0.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour + 0.66 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 for the round trip is 2.66 hour.

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

The parachutists are not hurt when they jump out of an airplane, why?

Darya [45]

When the parachute deploys it increases the persons air resistance to (temporaily) greater than the force of weight. This causes them to decellerate. As they decellerate resistance decreases again until once again it balances out. Terminal velocity is reduced to a safe level, and landing without injury is possible.
