Answer:

Option B

0.3 m/s2 South

Explanation:

Acceleration, a=\frac {v-u}{t} where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, t is the time taken

Substituting 14.1 m/s for v, 17.7 m/s for u and 12 s for t then

a=\frac {14.1 m/s- 17.7 m/s}{12}=-0.3 m/s^{2}

Since this is negative acceleration, it's direction is opposite hence 0.3 m/s2 South

You pick up a 10-newton book off the floor and put it on a shelf 2 meters high. How much work did you do?​
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the book is, W=10\ N

Height or displacement of the book is, d=2\ m

The work done on the book to raise it to a height of 2 m on a shelf is against gravity. The gravitational force acting on the book is equal to its weight. Now, in order to raise it, an equal amount of force must be applied in the opposite direction.

So, the force applied by me should be equal to weight of the body and in the upward direction. The displacement is also in the upward direction.

Now, work done by the applied force is equal to the product of force applied and displacement of book in the direction of the applied force.

Therefore, work done is given as:

Work=W\times d\\Work=10\times 2=20\ J

Therefore, the work done to raise a book to a height 2 m from the floor is 20 J.

A bullet is fired with a muzzle velocity of 1178 ft/sec from a gun aimed at an angle of 26° above the horizontal. Find the horiz
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1058.78 ft/sec

Explanation:

Horizontal Component of Velocity; This is the velocity of a body that act on the horizontal axis. I.e Velocity along x-axis

The horizontal velocity of a body can be calculated as shown below.\

Vh = Vcos∅.......................... Equation 1

Where Vh = horizontal component of the velocity, V = The velocity acting between the horizontal and the vertical axis, ∅ = Angle the velocity make with the horizontal.

Given: V = 1178 ft/sec, ∅ = 26°

Substitute into equation 1

Vh = 1178cos26

Vh = 1178(0.8988)

Vh = 1058.78 ft/sec

Hence the horizontal component of the velocity = 1058.78 ft/sec
