Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The distance the object falls, s = 144 m

The time taken by the object is, t = 6 s

Using the III equations of motion

                  S = ut + ½ gt²

∴                 g = 2S/t²

Substituting the given values,

                   g = 2 x 144 /6²

                      = 8 m/s²

Hence, the gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²

Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with
Vinvika [58]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.

Train B’s acceleration  is 1m/s^2   and it accelerated for 50 seconds.

<em>a=1 m/s^2</em>

<em>t=50 s </em>

<em>initial speed u=72km/h </em>

<em>we have to convert this speed into m/s  </em>

<em>u=72 \times 5/18=20 m/s</em>

<em>Distance covered in accelerating phase  S=ut+1/2  at^2  </em>

<em>=20 \times 50+1/2 \times 1 \times 50^2</em>

<em>=1000+1250=2250 m </em>

If  a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.

<em>Here length of train A+length of train B=400+400=800 m</em>

<em>Hence the initial distance between the trains = 2250-800=1450 m</em>

A clam dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 seconds to hit the ground. What is the seagull's approximate height above the ground at th
ankoles [38]
<h2>The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 3 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²

                      s = 44.145 m

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m

Me ajudem, Por favor!!!!!!
zzz [600]

Answer:

a)  a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

b)  V(t)=4\,t\,+3

c)  V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s} \\

d)  Displacement = 22 m

e)  Average speed = 11 m/s

Explanation:

a)

Notice that the acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function, which in this case, being a straight line is constant everywhere, and which can be calculated as:

slope= \frac{15=3}{3-0} =4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore,  acceleration is a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

b) the functional expression for this line of slope 4 that passes through a y-intercept at (0, 3) is given by:

y=m\,x+b\\V(t)=4\,t\,+3

c) Since we know the general formula for the velocity, now we can estimate it at any value for 't", for example for the requested t = 1 second:

V(t)= 4\,t+3\\V(1)=4\,(1)+3\\V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s}

d) The displacement between times t = 1 sec, and t = 3 seconds is given by the area under the velocity curve between these two time values. Since we have a simple trapezoid, we can calculate it directly using geometry and evaluating V(3) (we already know V(1)):

Displacement = \frac{(7+15)\,2}{2} = 22\,\,m

e) Recall that the average of a function between two values is the integral (area under the curve) divided by the length of the interval:

Average velocity = \frac{22}{2} = 11\, \,\frac{m}{s}
