Given Information:  

Acceleration of gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Time period = t = 3 seconds

Required Information:

velocity = v = ?

Answer:  

v = 29.4 m/s

Explanation:  

As we know the velocity of an object under free fall assuming that the object was initially at rest is given by

v = -gt

Where minus sign indicates that the object is moving downward

v = -9.8*3

v = -29.4 m/s

Therefore, the rock will be falling at the speed of 29.4 m/s after 3 seconds.

A roller coaster car may be approximated by a block of mass m. Thecar, which starts from rest, is released at a height h above t
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

mgh = mg2R + K\\K = mg(h-2R)

For the second part,

the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:

- weight in the downwards direction

- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction

The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

F = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{R}

where N = 0 because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\v^2 = gR\\v = \sqrt{gR}

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}m(gR)\\gh = g2R + \frac{1}{2}gR\\h = 2R + \frac{R}{2}\\h = \frac{5R}{2}

Explanation:

The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.

We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.

An 1100kg car reached 30m/s in 9s from rest. What force did the engine provide?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

≅3666.67 N

Explanation:

Use Newton's 2nd law, F = ma where F=force applied, m = mass of the object,

a = acceleration acquired by the object.

a= (v-u)/t where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity and t = time taken

calculate a = (30-0)/9 ≅ 3.33 m/s2

Then F = 1100×a = 3666.67 N

A school bus moves at speed of 35mi/he for 20miles. How long will it take for the bus to get to school
lara [203]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.57 hours

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the school bus, v = 35 mi/hr

Distance covered by the bus, d = 20 miles

We need to find the time taken by the bus to get to school. Time taken by the bus is given by :

t = 0.57 hours

So, the time taken by the bus to reach school is 0.57 hours. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

a) 210 Ω

b) 21 V

c) 0.07 A, 0.03 V

d) VAE = 7 V

VEB = 14 V

VAF = 9 V

VFB = 12 V

Explanation:

a) 100 Ω and 200 Ω are in series, equivalent = 100 + 200 = 300 Ω,

300 Ω and 400 Ω are in series, equivalent = 300 + 400 = 700 Ω

300 Ω and 700Ω are in parallel, so the equivalent resistance between A and B is R where

1/300 + 1/700 = 1/R, get R = 210 Ω

b) Given I = 0.1 A

so VAB = I * R = 1 * 210 = 21.0 V

c) I₁ + I₂ = I = 0.1, so I₂ = 0.1 - I₁

I₁ * 300 = I₂ * 700

I₁ * 300 = (0.1 - I₁) * 700

get I₁ = 0.07 A, I₂ = 0.1 - I₁ = 0.03 A

d) VAE = I₁ * 100 = 7 V

VEB = I₁ * 200 = 14 V

VAF = I₂ * 300 = 9 V

VFB = I₂ * 400 = 12 V
