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

the net external force on the 24-kg mower is stated to be 51 N. If the force of friction opposing the motion is 24 N, what force

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

PART A)

External force will be 75 N

PART B)

distance moved will be 1.125 m

Explanation:

PART A)

Given that net force on the mower is

$F_{net} = 51 N$

now we also know that friction force due to ground is given as

$F_f = 24 N$

now we have

$F_{net} = F_{ext} - F_f$

$51 = F_{ext} - 24$

$F_{ext} = 75 N$

so external force will be 75 N

PART B)

deceleration due to friction when external force is removed from it

$a = \frac{F_f}{m}$

$a = \frac{24}{24} = 1 m/s^2$

now we can find the distance by kinematics

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 1.5^2 = 2(-1)d$

$d = 1.125 m$

so the distance moved will be 1.125 m

Assume a maximum stopping acceleration of g/2 where g is acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

2.99 m/s

Explanation:

Stopping distance, s = 3 ft = 0.914 m

final velocity, v = 0

a = g/2 = 4.9 m/s²

Use third equation of motion:

$v^2-u^2 = 2as$

substitute the values to find the speed of train:

$0 -u^2 = 2\times -4.9 \times 0.914 \\u^2=8.96 \\u=2.99 m/s$

A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length L swings with a period T. If the pendulum is take

Juli2301 [7.4K]

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the period in a simple pendulum, which warns that it is dependent on its length and gravity as follows:

$T =2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Here,

L = Length

g = Acceleration due to gravity

We can realize that $2 \pi$ is a constant so it is proportional to the square root of its length over its gravity,

$T \propto \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Since the body is in constant free fall, that is, a point where gravity tends to be zero:

$g \rightarrow 0 \Rightarrow T \rightarrow \infty$

The value of the period will tend to infinity. This indicates that the pendulum will no longer oscillate because both the pendulum and the point to which it is attached are in free fall.

What is affected by an airplane's speed?

ratelena [41]

Airplanes produce lift from the air moving over their wings. Stall speed is a metric that refers to the minimum speed required for an airplane to produce lift. When airplanes fly slower than their respective stall speed, they won't produce lift. ... If an airplane's speed drops below its stall speed, it won't produce lift.
