<h2>Answer:</h2>

The acceleration of runner is \bold{0.1 \ m / s^{2}} if his initial velocity is 4 m⁄s and after 20 seconds the runner's velocity is 6 m⁄s.

<u>Option: B </u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

From given we came to know that the runner starts his initial velocity is 4  , and in 20 s speeds up to 6 m⁄s, to find acceleration of runner, we know that acceleration is ratio of change in velocity to change in time.

The acceleration is given by the formula:

\text { Acceleration }=\frac{\text { Change in velocity }}{\text { Change in time }}

We know that change in velocity as 4 m/s to 6 m/s and change time as 20 s.

\Rightarrow \text { Acceleration }=\frac{6-4}{20}

\therefore \text { Acceleration }=0.1 \ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

Therefore, acceleration of runner will be 0.1 \ m / s^{2}

Answer:

B. 0.1 meters/second/second in the same direction of travel.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Acceleration is a vector quantity.

a=Δv/Δt

=(v₂-v₁)/(t₂-t₁)

v₁=4 m/s

v₂=6 m/s

t₁=0 s

t₂=20 s

a=(6m/s-4m/s)/(20s-0)

= 0.1 m/s² in the same direction of travel.

Therefore acceleration =0.1 meters/second/second in the same direction of travel.

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g (where g is the acceleration due to gravity). What minimum coeffi
prisoha [69]

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The acceleration of the train, a = 0.2·g

The mass of the person standing on the train = m

Let μ represent the coefficient of static friction, we have;

The force acting on the person, F = m × a = m × 0.2·g

The force of friction acting between the feet and the floor, F_f = m·g·μ

For the person not to slide we have;

The force acting on the person = The force of friction acting between the feet and the floor

F = F_f

∴ m × 0.2·g = m·g·μ

From which we get;

0.2 = μ

The coefficient of static friction that must exist between the feet and the floor if the person is not to slide, μ = 0.2.

Your weight would change but not your mass, the moon has less gravity so therefore you are going to be lighter :-)

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

734.215N

Explanation:

First we calculate the angle that corresponds to a 5% slope using the Tan-1 function

\beta = tan-1(5%)=2.86

then we use the component that corresponds to the direction parallel to the road, additionally we must multiply by the gravity value to find the weight(g=9.81m/s^2)

Wx=M*g*sen(2.86)=1500kg*9.81*sen(2.86)=734.215N

If a ball rolls at constant velocity, it is rolling at constant speed? explain
Shtirlitz [24]
Velocity is speed with direction. So, if velocity varies directly with speed, that statement would be true. A constant velocity would resort in a constant speed. They are connected and are dependant on each other.

I hope this helps!
