Answer:

a)It takes the bolt 0.25 s to pass the last 11% of the fall.

b)When the bolt begins to fall the last 11% of the fall its velocity is -41.2 m/s.

c)The velocity of the bolt just before it reaches the ground is -43.6 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) Let´s calculate how much distance it is the last 11% of the fall:

96 m · 0.11 = 10.56 m

So, we have to find how much time it takes the bolt to pass from a height of 10.56 m to the ground.

First, let´s calculate how much time it takes the bolt to reach a height of 10.56 m. For that we can use this equation:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

h = height of the bolt at a time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

If we consider the ground as the origin of the frame of reference, then h0 = 96 m. Since the bolt is dropped, the initial velocity is zero (v0 = 0). Then, the equation gets reduce to this:

h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find at which time h = 10.56 m.

10.56 m = 96 m - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

Solving for t:

√(-2 · (10.56 m - 96 m) / 9.8 m/s²) = t

t = 4.2 s

Now that we have the time at which the bolt is located at 10.56 m above the ground, we can calculate the velocity of the bolt at that time.

The equation of velocity (v) of the bolt is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

at t = 4.2 s.

v = 0 - 9.8 m/s² · 4.2 s

v = -41.2 m/s

<u>When the bolt begins to fall the last 11% of the fall its velocity is -41.2 m/s.</u>

Now, we can calculate how much time it takes to fall the last 10.56 m.

The initial velocity of the bolt will be the velocity at h = 10.56 m. The initial height will be 10.56 m.

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find the time at which h = 0 (the bolt hits the ground)

0 = 10.56 m - 41.2 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

t = 0.25 s (the other solution of the quadratic equation is negative and thus discarded).

<u>It takes the bolt 0.25 s to pass the last 11% of the fall.</u>

Now, let´s calculate the velocity of the bolt when it reaches the ground:

v = v0 + g · t

v = -41.2 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.25 s

v = -43.6 m/s

<u>The velocity of the bolt just before it reaches the bolt is -43.6 m/s</u>

Simple Harmonic Motion
Delvig [45]

- The net force is greatest at the position of maximum displacement

- The net force is zero when at the equilibrium position

Explanation:

The motion of a spring is a Simple Harmonic Motion, in which the displacement of the end of the spring is given by a periodic function of the form

x=Asin (\omega t)

where A is the amplitude (the maximum displacement), and \omega the angular frequency of the motion.

We can analyze the net force acting on the spring by looking at Hooke's law:

F=kx

where

F is the net force

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement

From the equation, we notice immediately that:

  • The net force is the greatest when the displacement x is the greates, so at the position in which the spring has maximum compression or stretching
  • The net force is zero when the displacement x is zero, so when the spring crosses the equilibrium position

A force of 6.0 N gives a 2.0 kg block an acceleration of 3.0
Semenov [28]

Explanation:

The Net Force of the object can be written by:

Fnet = ma

where m is the mass of the object in <em>kg</em>

a is the acceleration of the object in <em>m/s^2</em>

Hence by applying the formula we get:

Fnet = (2.0)(3.0)

= 6N

We also know that Net force is also the sum of all forces acting on an object. In this case Friction and the Pushing Force is acting on the object. Hence we can write that:

Fnet = Pushing Force + (-Friction)

6N = 6N - Friction

Friction = 0N

Hence the<u> </u><u>f</u><u>orce of friction is 0N.</u>

vekshin1
They will be travelling slower than 10mph.
if they were travelling at the same speed then they would stay an equal distance apart.
if they were travelling fatser then they would be getting further away more quickly than Bobby is catching up.
maybe they are travelling at 5mph but I'd say it's a safer option to chose under 10mph

Please help me it's URGENT (#10 btw and also how do I solve for time​
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

t = 12s

Explanation:

Given:

v-initial = 0 m/s

x = 360 m

a = 5.0 m/s^2

Solve:

x = (v-initial)t + 1/2(a*t^2)

360 = 0t + 1/2 (5.0t^2)

360 = 2.5 t^2

144 = t^2

t = sqrt(144) = 12

Therefore, it takes 12 seconds.
