Answer:

s = 589.3 m

Explanation:

Let the truck and car meet at a distance = s  m

The truck is moving at constant velocity = v

so s= v * t ---------- (1)

car:

Vi = 0 m/s

a = 3.9 m/s²

s = Vi* t + 1/2 a t²

s= 0 * t +  1/2 a t²

s =  1/2 a t²   ----------- (2)

compare equation (1)  and equation (2)

s= v * t = 1/2 a t²

⇒ v * t = 1/2 a t²

⇒ t = 2 * v/ a

⇒ t = (2 * 33.9 )/ 3.9

⇒ t = 17. 38 s

Now

from equation (1)

s= v * t

s= 33.9 * 17.38

⇒ s = 589.3 m

A ball is thrown straight up. What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point in its path?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

b. v = 0, a = 9.8 m/s² down.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The acceleration of gravity is always directed to the ground (down) and, near the surface of the earth, has a constant value of 9.8 m/s². Since the answer "b" is the only option with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s² directed downwards, that would solve the exercise. But why is the velocity zero at the highest point?

Let´s take a look at the height function:

h(t) = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 g · t²

Where

h0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity

Notice that the function is a negative parabola if we consider downward as negative (in that case "g" would be negative). Then, the function has a maximum (the highest point) at the vertex of the parabola. At the maximum point, the slope of the tangent line to the function is zero, because the tangent line is horizontal at a maximum point. The slope of the tangent line to the function is the rate of change of height with respect to time, i.e, the velocity. Then, the velocity is zero at the maximum height.

Another way to see it (without calculus):

When the ball is going up, the velocity vector points up and the velocity is positive. After reaching the maximum height, the velocity vector points down and is negative (the ball starts to fall). At the maximum height, the velocity vector changed its direction from positive to negative, then at that point, the velocity vector has to be zero.

According to the graph, what is the motorcycle’s Average velocity ?
borishaifa [10]
According to the position vs time graph, the <em>average</em> <em>velocity</em> of the motorcycle is the change in position divided by the change in time. Also, note that the slope is linear and positive throughout the 5 hours, it doesn't change direction. 

Therefore, we have
Avg velocity = change in direction/change in time
Avg velocity = (150km - 30km)/(5h - 0h)
Avg velocity = 24km/hr south.

Newton’s 3rd law of motion states that “every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” A golf ball was hit with a force of 20
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

<u>Example of Newton's III law</u>

  • In the, golf the ball was hit by a club with certain force. As the club hits the ball it's the action. When the ball flies away its the reaction.
  • When a person swings a golf club at the ball, when it hits the ball, it causes the ball to roll up the face of the club and into the air towards the target.

A cold front moves through and the temperature drops by 20 degrees. in which temperature scale would this 20 degree change repre
nalin [4]
In the Celsius scale each degree is one part of 100 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between boiling and freezing temperatures of water is 100 ° - 0 ° = 100 °, so one degree Celsius is one part of 100.

In the Farenheit scale, each degree is one part of 180 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between the boiling and freezind temperatures are 212 ° - 32 ° = 180°, so one degree Farenheti is one part of 180.

That means that 1 °C is a larger amount than 1 °C, so 20°C is a larger amount than 20°F.

Conclusion: 20 degree change represents a larger change in Celsius scale.

Pam, wearing a rocket pack, stands on frictionless ice. She has a mass of 49 kg. The rocket supplies a constant force for 22.0 m
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Magnitude of the force is 4350N

Explanation:

As the woman accelerates at a distance of 22 m to go from rest to 62.5 m / s, we can use the kinematics to find the acceleration

v² = v₀² + 2 a x

v₀ = 0

a = v² / 2x

 a = 62.5²/(2 × 22)

 a = 88.78m/s²

the time you need to get this speed

     v = v₀ + a t

     t = v / a

     t = 62.5 / 88.78

     t = 0.704s

Let's caculate the magnitude of the force

F = ma

= 49 × 88.78

= 4350.22

≅ 4350N

Magnitude of the force is 4350N

     t = 1,025 s

      a = 55.43 m / s²
