W = m • g

Weight = mass x local gravity.

The object's acceleration doesn't matter.

An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 5.6 m/s. A child on a bridge, 71 m abo
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

21.28 m

Explanation:

height, h = 71 m

velocity of raft, v = 5.6 m/s

let the time taken by the stone to reach to raft is t.

use second equation of motion for stone

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

u = 0 m/s, h = 71 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

71 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

t = 3.8 s

Horizontal distance traveled by the raft in time t

d = v x t = 5.6 x 3.8 = 21.28 m

A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00m/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0m/s. Then the truck trave
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Time to reach the speed of 20 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s² can be calculated as follows .

v = u + a t

20 = 0 + 2 t

t = 20 /2 = 10 s .

Total time = 10 s + 20 s + 5 s = 35 s .

b) Average velocity = Total distance travelled / total time

Distance travelled in first 10 s

S₁ = ut + 1/2 a t²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 10²

= 100 m

Distance travelled in next 20 s

S₂= 20s x 20 m/s  = 400 m

Distance travelled in last 5 s .

deceleration in last 5 s

v = u + at

0 = 20 m/s + a x 5

a = - 4 m/s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = (20 m/s)² - 2 x 4 m/s² x s

s = 50 m

S₃ = 50 m

Total distance = S₁ + S₂ + S₃

= 100 m + 400 m + 50 m

= 550 m .

Average velocity = 550 m / 35 s

= 15.71 m /s .

If the kinetic energy of a given mass is to be doubled, its speed must be multiplied by
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Either B or D. The answer itself is 2.

Explanation:

The equation for the kinetic energy would be 1/2*mv^2.

When m is doubled, we can plug in 1 and 2 to compare our answers.

Plugging in 1 for mass would give us the answer 1/2*v^2.

Plugging in 2 for mass would give us v^2. This means that the velocity was multiplied by 2, meaning that the answer is it is multiplied by 2.

I am not sure which answer is correct since there seems to be two answer choices with 2 in it, but the answer is either B or D (I will call it ABCD because I do not want to cause confusion by saying 2 multiple times).

A 94.7 kg horizontal circular platform rotates freely with no friction about its center at an initial angular velocity of 1.75 r
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The angular velocity of the platform is 1.114 rad/s.

Explanation:

Step 1:  Given data

Mass of the horizontal circular platform = 94.7 kg

Mass of the monkey = 21.1 kg

Initial angular velocity = 1.75 rad/s

A monkey drops a 9.25 kg bunch of bananas

They hit the platform at 4/5 of its radius from the center

Model the platform as a disk of radius 1.63 m

Step 2: Calculate the moment of inertia of the disk

I = ½ * m * r² = ½ * 94.7 * 1.63² = 125.80

Step 3: Calculate the initial angular momentum

I = 125.80 * 1.75 = 220.15

Step 4: Calculate the moment of inertia for the bananas

For the bananas, r = 4/5 * 1.63 = 1.304 m

I = 9.25 * 1.304² = 15.73

Step 5: Calculate Moment of inertia for the monkey

I = 21.1 * 1.63² = 56.06

Step 6: Total moment of inertia = 125.80 + 15.73 + 56.06 = 197.59

Step 7: Calculate final angular momentum = 197.59 * ω

197.59 * ω = 220.15

ω = 220.15 / 197.59

This is approximately 1.114 rad/s.
