the car stops, the inertia of people keeps them going. no force ... they were going before the car stopped

sudden stop = pain

gentle stop = ok

A car starts from rest and after 20 seconds it's velocity becomes 108km find the acceleration of the car

andre [41]

Answer:

1.5 km/s²

Explanation:

Given that:

a car starts from rest; it means the initial velocity (u) = 0 km/hr = 0 m/s

after time (t) = 20 seconds

the final velocity = 108 km/hr = 30 m/s

The acceleration (a) of the car can be determined by using the formula:

$a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a = \dfrac{30\ m/s -0 \ m/s}{20 \ s}$

$a = \dfrac{30 \ m/s}{20 \ s}$

a = 1.5 km/s²

In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1,400 kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the conta

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane $m=1400\ kg$

distance moved $d=40\ m$

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

$W_T=T\cdot d$

$W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40$

$W_T=548.8\ KJ$

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

$W_T+W_g=0$

$W_g=-548.8\ KJ$

With your hand parallel to the floor and your palm upright, you lower a 3-kg book downward. If the force exerted on the book by

lara31 [8.8K]

According to the net force, the acceleration of the book is 16.47 m/s².

We need to know about force to solve this problem. According to second Newton's Law, the force applied to an object will be proportional to mass and acceleration. Hence, it can be written as

∑F = m . a

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration

From the question above, we know that

m = 3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

F1 = 20 N

Find the net force

∑F = F1 + W

∑F = 20 + m . g

∑F = 20 + 3 . 9.8

∑F = 20 + 29.4

∑F = 49.4 N

Find the acceleration

∑F = m . a

49.4 = 3 . a

a = 16.47 m/s²

A car travels 10.0 m/s. What is its velocity in km/h?

Vitek1552 [10]

Since 1m/s=3.6 km/h, we can conclude that 10.0m/s = 36 km/h
