Take the stone's position at ground level to be the origin, and the downward direction to be negative. Then its position in the air y at time t is given by

y=100\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

Let d be the depth of the well. The stone hits the bottom of the well after 5.00 s, so that

-d=100\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2(5.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies d=\boxed{22.6\,\mathrm m}

A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed v0. At t=0 the car driver n
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

a) t1 = v0/a0

b) t2 = v0/a0

c) v0^2/a0

Explanation:

A)

How much time does it take for the car to come to a full stop? Express your answer in terms of v0 and a0

Vf = 0

Vf = v0 - a0*t

0 = v0 - a0*t

a0*t = v0

t1 = v0/a0

B)

How much time does it take for the car to accelerate from the full stop to its original cruising speed? Express your answer in terms of v0 and a0.

at this point

U = 0

v0 = u + a0*t

v0 = 0 + a0*t

v0 = a0*t

t2 = v0/a0

C)

The train does not stop at the stoplight. How far behind the train is the car when the car reaches its original speed v0 again? Express the separation distance in terms of v0 and a0 . Your answer should be positive.

t1 = t2 = t

Distance covered by the train = v0 (2t) = 2v0t

and we know t = v0/a0

so distanced covered = 2v0 (v0/a0) = (2v0^2)/a0

now distance covered by car before coming to full stop

Vf2 = v0^2- 2a0s1

2a0s1 = v0^2

s1 = v0^2 / 2a0

After the full stop;

V0^2 = 2a0s2

s2 = v0^2/2a0

Snet = 2v0^2 /2a0 = v0^2/a0

Now the separation between train and car

= (2v0^2)/a0 - v0^2/a0

= v0^2/a0

At t = 0 the components of a radio-controlled car's velocity are vx = 0.5 m/s and vy = 1.2 m/s. Find the components of the car's
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

x-component of velocity = 5.7 m/s

y-component of velocity = -1.4 m/s          

Explanation:

Use first equation of motion to find components of velocity at a given time:

v = u + at

where, v is  the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Given:

u_x= 0.5 m/s\\u_y=1.2 m/s\\a_x=2 m/s^2\\a_y=-1m/s^2\\t = (2.6-0)s =2.6 s

v_x=u_x+a_xt\\\Rightarrow v_x=0.5+2\times 2.6\\\Rightarrow v_x=5.7 m/s

v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\Rightarrow v_y=1.2-1\times 2.6\\\Rightarrow v_y=-1.4 m/s
