Answer:

Vector quantity.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in the value of velocity with the time change.

Acceleration can be defined by the second law of newton in which the acceleration is produce due to the net force.

The SI unit of acceleration is m/s^{2}.

The acceleration follow all the law of vector addition, whether parallelogram law of addition as well as triangular law of vector addition.

Therefore, by the above discussion we can define that the acceleration is a vector quantity.

Movies and TV shows sometimes portray a person being thrown backwards a sizable distance as a result of being struck by a bullet
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

 R = 4.24 x 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the person = 60.3-kg

mass of the bullet = 10 gram = 0.01 Kg

velocity of bullet = 389 m/s

angle made with the horizontal = 45°

using conservation of momentum.

M v  + m u  = ( M + m ) V

60.3 x 0 + 0.01 x 389 = (60.3 + 0.01) V

V = \dfrac{3.89}{60.31}

V = \dfrac{3.89}{60.31}

V = 0.0645 m/s

for calculation of range

R = \dfrac{V^2sin 2 \theta}{g}

R = \dfrac{0.0645^2sin 2 (45^0)}{9.8}

     R = 4.24 x 10⁻⁴ m

the distance actor fall is  R = 4.24 x 10⁻⁴ m

It is easier to overcome load when the load is shifted towards the wheel in a wheelbarrow why ? give reason​
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The wheelbarrow's wheel and axle help the wheelbarrow to move without friction thus making it easier to push or pull. That's why it will be easier to lift a load in wheel barrow of the load is transferred towards the wheel.

An object is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 10 m/s, and there is an air resistance force causing an acceleration
lana [24]

Answer:

Vf= 7.29 m/s

Explanation:

Two force act on the object:

1) Gravity

2) Air resistance

Upward motion:

Initial velocity = Vi= 10 m/s

Final velocity = Vf= 0 m/s

Gravity acting downward =  g = -9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting downward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = -(g + a₁ ) = - ( 9.8 + 3 ) = - 12.8 m/s²

( Acceleration is consider negative if it is in opposite direction of velocity )

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * (-12.8) *s = 0 - 10²

⇒-25.6 *s = -100

⇒ s = 100/ 25.6

⇒ s = 3.9 m

Downward motion:

Vi= 0 m/s

s = 3.9 m

Gravity acting downward =  g = 9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting upward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = g - a₁  =  9.8 - 3  = 6.8 m/s²

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * 6.8 * 3.9 = Vf² - 0

⇒ Vf² = 53. 125

⇒ Vf= 7.29 m/s

What is the kinetic energy of a 50-kg child running to catch the school bus at
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Option C

100 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy, KE is given by

KE=0.5mv^{2} where m is the mass and v is the velocity

Substituting 50 Kg for mass, m and 2 m/s for velocity v then we obtain

KE=0.5*50*2^{2}=100 J

Therefore, the child's kinetic energy is equivalent to 100 J
