An object is originally moving at a constant velocity of 8 m/s in the -x direction. It moves at this constant velocity for 3 sec

onds. Then, a constant acceleration of 7 m/s2 is applied to it in the +x direction for 9 seconds. What is the total distance covered by this object in meters? Please give a detailed explanation.

Answer:

244.64m

Explanation:

First, we find the distance traveled with constant velocity. It's simply multiplying velocity time the time that elapsed:

x = V*t = -8\frac{m}{s} *3s = -24m

After this, the ball will start traveling with a constant acceleration motion. Due to the fact that the acceleration is the opposite direction to the initial velocity, this motion will have 2 phases:

1. The velocity will start to decrease untill it reaches 0m/s.

2. Then, the velocity will start to increase at the rate of the acceleration.

The distance that the ball travels in the first phase can be found with the following expression:

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2a*d

Where v is the final velocity (0m/s), v_0 is the initial velocity (-8m/s) and a is the acceleration (+9m/s^2). We solve for d:

d = \frac{v^2 - v_0^2}{2a} = \frac{(0m/s)^2 - (-8m/s)^2}{2*7m/s^2}= -4.57m

Now, before finding the distance traveled in the second phase, we need to find the time that took for the velocity to reach 0:

t_1 = \frac{v}{a} = \frac{8m/s}{7m/s^2} = 1.143 s

Then, the time of the second phase will be:

t_2 = 9s - t_1 = 9s - 1.143s = 7.857s

Using this, we using the equations for constant acceleration motion in order to calculate the distance traveled in the second phase:

x = \frac{1}{2}a*t^2 + v_0*t + x_0

V_0, the initial velocity of the second phase, will be 0 as previously mentioned. X_0, the initial position, will be 0, for simplicity:

x = \frac{1}{2}*7\frac{m}{s^2}*t^2 + 0m/s*t + 0m = 216.07m

So, the total distance covered by this object in meters will be the sum of all the distances we found:

x_total = 24m + 4.57m + 216.07m = 244.64m

A ball resting on a roof 75 meters high has 1000 Joules of gravitational potential energy. Calculate the mass of the ball. (SHOW
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The mass of the ball is 1.360 kilograms.

Explanation:

By Work-Energy Theorem, gravitational potential energy (U), in joules, is the product of weight of the ball (W), in newtons, and height (h), in meters. Please notice that weight is the product of the mass of the ball (m) and gravitational acceleration (g), in meters per square second. Then, the formula for the mass of the ball is:

m = \frac{U}{g\cdot h} (1)

If we know that U = 1000\,J, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and h = 75\,m, then the mass of the ball is:

m = \frac{U}{g\cdot h}

m = 1.360\,kg

The mass of the ball is 1.360 kilograms.

A child holds one end of a 33.0-meter long rope in her hand and moves it up-and-down to produce a sinusoidal wave by moving her
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Wavelength=75 cm.

The wavelength well remain unchanged which is 75 cm.

Explanation:

The formula which will help us to answer the question is:

V=f*λ

Where:

V is the velocity

f is the frequency of wave

λ is the wave length

Now:

λ=V/f    Eq (1)

The equation show's that wavelength is independent of the amplitude but it depends on the frequency and the velocity with which wave is moving.

The wavelength well remain unchanged which is 75 cm.

Force between two charges  = 

     ( 1/4πε₀ ) · (Charge #1) · (Charge #2) / (Distance between them)²

  in the direction away from each other.

In other words, if the force is positive, the charges are repelling.
If the force is negative, the charges are attracting.
