A runner of mass 51.8 kg starts from rest and accelerates with a constant acceleration of 1.31 m/s^2 until she reaches a velocit
Stells [14]

Answer:32.24 s

Explanation:

Given

mass of runner (m)=51.8 kg

Constant acceleration(a)=1.31 m/s^2

Final velocity (v)=5.47 m/s

Time taken taken to reach 5.47 m/s

v=u+at

5.47=0+1.31\times t

t=\frac{5.47}{1.31}=4.17 s

Distance traveled during this time is

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

s=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.31\times 4.17^2=11.42 m

So remaining distance left to travel with constant velocity=153.57 m

thus time =\frac{distance}{speed}

t_2=\frac{153.57}{5.47}=28.07 s

Total time=28.07+4.17=32.24 s

You should always wear your seat belt just in case the car comes to an abrupt stop. The seat belt will hold you in place so that
Gwar [14]
Newtons 1st law of motion states that the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction until an outside force acts upon it.
 
So unless the objects inside the car are restrained, they will continue moving at whatever speed the car is traveling at, even if the car is stopped by a crash.

Explanation A 5000 kg rocket is at rest in deep space. The rocket burns fuel pushing 10kg of exhaust gases rearward at 4000 m/s.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

F = 4000 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of rocket (M)= 5000 Kg

10 Kg gas burns at speed (m)= 4000 m/s

time = 10 s

average force = ?

at the end the rocket is at rest

by conservation of momentum

 M v + m v' = 0

 5000 x v - 10 x 4000 = 0

 5000 v = 40000

    v = 8 m/s

speed of rocket = 8 m/s

now,

we know

change in momentum = F x Δ t

F = \dfrac{m(v_i-v_f)}{\Delta t}

F = \dfrac{5000(8-0)}{10}

      F = 4000 N

Hence, the average force applied to the rocket is equal to F = 4000 N

Use Kepler’s third law and the orbital motion of Earth to determine the mass of the Sun. The average distance between Earth and
dexar [7]

Kepler’s
third law formula: T^2=4pi^2*r^3/(GM)

We’re trying to find M, so:

M=4pi^2*r^3/(G*T^2)

M=4pi^2*(1.496
× 10^11 m)^3/((6.674× 10^-11N*m^2/kg^2)*(365.26days)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))

Let’s work
with the units:

(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))=

=(m^3*kg^2)/(N*m^2*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/(N*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/((kg*m/s^2)*days^2)

=(kg)/(days^2/s^2)

=(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

So:

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

Now we need to convert days to seconds in order to cancel
them:

1 day=24 hours=24*60minutes=24*60*60s=86400s

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/((86400s)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(
86400^2*s^2)

M=1.48× 10^40kg/86400^2

M=1.98x10^30kg

The
closest answer is 1.99
× 10^30

(it may vary
a little with rounding – the difference is less than 1%)
