If a small rock is dropped from a height of 3.1 m how fast will it be moving when it reaches the ground 0.80 seconds later

garik1379 [7]

X=1/2 at^2
3.1=1/2 a *0.64
a=9.68
v=at
v=0.8*9.6875=7.75

Earth exerts a 100 N gravitational force on a metal box. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force the metal box exerts o

jeka94

We have that the magnitude of the gravitational force is mathematically given as

f=6.377N

Question Parameters:

Earth exerts a 100 N gravitational force on a metal box.

(Mass of the earth is 6e24 kg and radius of the earth is 6.4e6m.)

Generally the equation for the Gravitational mForce is mathematically given as

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\\Therefore\\\\F=\frac{100/9.8* 6e116e24}{6.4e6^2}$

f=6.377N

A subway train accelerates from rest at one station at a rate of 1.30 m/s^2 for half of the distance to the next station, then d

Minchanka [31]

This problems a perfect application for this acceleration formula:

   Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)² .

During the speeding-up half:   1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
During the slowing-down half: 1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²

Pick either half, and divide each side by 0.65 m/s²:

   T² = (1600 m) / (0.65 m/s²)

   T = square root of (1600 / 0.65) seconds

Time for the total trip between the stations is double that time.

   T = 2 √(1600/0.65) = <em>99.2 seconds</em> (rounded)

When the speed of the bottle is 2 m/s, the KE is kg m2/s2. When the speed of the bottle is 3 m/s, the KE is kg m2/s2. When the s

d1i1m1o1n [39]

mass of the bottle in each case is M = 0.250 kg

now as per given speeds we can use the formula of kinetic energy to find it

1) when speed is 2 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
