A steel safe with mass M falls onto a concrete floor. Just before hitting the floor, its speed is vi . It hits the floor without

rebounding, and ends up being d shorter than before. Find the magnitude of the (average) force exerted by the floor on the safe while it is being deformed. You can assume this force is a constant during the short time it takes for the safe to deform. Ignore the effects of gravity.

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = vi

final velocity, v = 0

distance = d

mass of safe = M

Use third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

0 = vi² - 2 ad

a = vi²/2d

Force, F = mass x acceleration

F = M x vi²/2d

F = Mvi²/2d

A toy floats in a swimming pool. The buoyant force exerted on the toy depends on the volume ofa. none of these choices.b. all th
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:c

Explanation:

The buoyancy force on toy depends upon the volume of toy under pool water.

According to Archimedes principle buoyant force on a floating body depends upon the weight of displaced liquid by object.

Buoyancy force is given by

F_b=\rho _f\times V\times g

where \rho _f=density of fluid

V=volume of object under water

g=acceleration due to gravity

A 2,100 kg car is lifted by a pulley. If the cable breaks at 4.50 m, what is the velocity of the car when it hits the ground? 88
sammy [17]
V^2-u^2=2as

v=final velocity=unkown
u=initial velocity=0 m/s, because freely falling
a=acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s^2
s=distance (here height) traveled=4.5m

therefore the final velocity,
v^2=2*9.8*4.5
v=<span>9.39m/s</span>

Why is velocity squared in kinetic energy and mass multiplied by 1/2?
maxonik [38]
Remember the definition of work done.
Work done is force(F) times displacement(x)
∴ W = F.Δx 
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion,

F = ma
∴ W = ma.Δx ---- (i)
Using the kinematical equation v²-u² = 2ax,
aΔx = (v²-u²)/2 

Plug this value in (i),

∴W = m[\frac{v^{2}-u^{2}  }{2}]
∴W = \frac{mv^{2} }{2} -  \frac{mu^{2} }{2}

Which is nothing but change in kinetic energy.
That is how kinetic energy is derived

Readme [11.4K]

The true airspeed will increase and true altitude will increase.

<h3>What is true air speed?</h3>

True airspeed is the airspeed of an aircraft relative to undisturbed air.

It's the aircraft speed relative to the airmass in which it's flying.

<h3>How does outside air temperature affect air speed?</h3>

If the outside air temperature increases during a flight at constant power and at a constant indicated altitude, the true airspeed will increase and true altitude will increase.

Thus, the true airspeed will increase and true altitude will increase.

A student standing on the ground throws a ball straight up. The ball leaves the student's hand with a speed of 13.0 m/s when the
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

2.82 s

Explanation:

The ball will be subject to the acceleration of gravity which can be considered constant. Therefore we can use the equation for uniformly accelerated movement:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

Y0 is the starting position, 2.3 m in this case.

Vy0 is the starting speed, 13 m/s.

a will be the acceleration of gravity, -9.81 m/s^2, negative because it points down.

Y(t) = 2.3 + 13 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

It will reach the ground when Y(t) = 0

0 = 2.3 + 13 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

-4.9 * t^2 + 13 * t + 2.3 = 0

Solving this equation electronically gives two results:

t1 = 2.82 s

t2 = -0.17 s

We disregard the negative solution. The ball spends 2.82 seconds in the air.
