Answer:

s = 23.72 m

v = 21.56 m/s²

Explanation:

given

time to reach the ground (t) = 2.2 second

we know that

a) s = u t + 0.5 g t²

u = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

s = 0 + 0.5 × 9.8 × 2.2²

s = 23.72 m

b) impact velocity

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2× 9.8 × 23.72)

v = √464.912

v = 21.56 m/s²

A car traveling 34 mi/h accelerates uniformly for 4 s, covering 615 ft in this time. What was its acceleration? Round your answe

Contact [7]

Answer:

51.94 ft/s²

257.63 ft/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 4 s

u = Initial velocity = 34 mi/h

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 615 ft

a = Acceleration

Converting velocity to ft/s

$34\ mi/h=\frac{34\times 5280}{3600}=49.87\ ft/s$

Equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow a=2\frac{s-ut}{t^2}\\\Rightarrow a=2\left(\frac{615-49.87\times 4}{4^2}\right)\\\Rightarrow a=51.94\ ft/s^2$

Acceleration is 51.94 ft/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=49.87+51.94\times 4\\\Rightarrow v=257.63\ ft/s$

Final velocity at this time is 257.63 ft/s

A silver bar 0.125 meter long is subjected to a temperature change from 200°C to 100°C. What will be the length of the bar after

Delicious77 [7]

$\Delta L= \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)$

= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)

= -0.00225 m

New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248
