Answer:

Acceleration, a=-2.48\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial speed of the skater, u = 8.4 m/s

Final speed of the skater, v = 6.5 m/s

It hits a 5.7 m wide patch of rough ice, s = 5.7 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. The third equation of motion gives the relationship between the speed and the distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by :

v^2-u^2=2as

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{(6.5)^2-(8.4)^2}{2\times 5.7}

a=-2.48\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration on the rough ice -2.48\ m/s^2 and negative sign shows deceleration.

Known :

l = 7 cm

w = 4 cm

Asked :

h = ...?

Answer :

V = B triangle × h (long)

35 = ½ × 4 × h × 7

35 = ½ × 28 × h

35 = 14 h

h = 35 ÷ 14

h = 2,5 cm

A machine lifts a 35 kg object doing 6860 J worth of work. How much power is produced by the machine if it lifts the object in 4
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need the power equation for this which is

P = Work/time

We have everything we need to solve this (the mass of the object is extra information):

P = 6860/4

P = 1715W
