Answer:

<em>The cyclist is traveling at 130 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

$v_f=v_o+at$

The cyclist initially travels at 10 /s and it's accelerating at a=6m/s^2. We need to know the new speed when t= 20 seconds have passed.

Apply the above equation:

$v_f=10+6\cdot 20$

$v_f=10+120$

$v_f=130\ m/s$

The cyclist is traveling at 130 m/s

An elevator ascends at a constant speed of 4 m/s, how much time is required for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards?

vlabodo [156]

We simply use the formula,

$velocity =\frac{distance}{time}$

Given, velocity = 4 m per s and distance = 120 m.

Substituting these values, we get

$4\ m/s =\frac{120\ m}{time}\\\\\ time=\frac{120\ m}{4\ m/s} = 30\ s$ .

Thus, required time for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards is 30 s.

Answer:

While a body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to immediate surroundings.

A body is said to be in uniform motion if it covers equal distances in equal interval of time.

A body is said to be in non-uniform motion if it covers unequal distances in equal interval of time or vice-versa

An archer puts a 0.30 kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m.a. Assuming

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of archer $m=0.3\ kg$

Average force $F_{avg}=201\ N$

extension in arrow $x=1.3\ m$

Work done to stretch the bow with arrow

$W=F\cdot x$

$W=201\times 1.3=261.3\ m$

This work done is converted into kinetic Energy of arrow

$W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where v= velocity of arrow

$261.3=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.3\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{1742}$

$v=41.73\ m/s$

(b)if arrow is thrown vertically upward then this energy is converted to Potential energy

$W=mgh$

$261.3=0.3\times 9.8\times h$

$h=\frac{261.3}{0.3\times 9.8}$

$h=88.87\ m$

If my weight on Earth is 140lbs, what is my mass?

SashulF [63]

Answer:

63.57 kg

Explanation:

weight = 140 lbs

Let the mass is m.

1 lbs = 4.45 N

The weight of an object is defined as the force with which our earth attracts the body towards its centre.

Weight is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

W = m x g

On earth surface g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now convert lbs in newton

So, 140 lbs = 140 x 4.45 = 623 N

So, m x 9.8 = 623

m = 63.57 kg

Thus, the mass is 63.57 kg.
