-- The train starts at 23 m/s and slows down by 0.25 m/s every second.

So it'll take (23/0.25) = 92 seconds to stop.

-- Its average speed during that time will be (1/2)(23+0) = 11.5 m/s

-- Moving at an average speed of 11.5 m/s for 92 sec, the train will cover

(11.5 m/s) x (92 sec) = <em>1,058 meters</em> .

Answer:

The work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Frisbee, m = 115 g = 0.115 kg

Initial speed of Frisbee, u = 12 m/s at a point 1 m above the ground

Final speed of Frisbee , v = 10.9674 m/s when it has reached a height of 2.00 m. Let W is the work done on the Frisbee by its weight. According to work energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. So,

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.115\times\left((10.9674)^{2}-(12)^{2})\right)\\\\W=-1.36\ J$

So, the work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Help!!! If anyone could do one of these, i'm confused on how I should write the equation down.

balu736 [363]

F=ma=m(change in velocity/change in time)

Number 1

F=ma

F=55kg(1.1ms^-1/1.6s)=37.8N

Number 2

F=ma

F=0.440kg(10ms^-1/0.02s)=220N

Number 3

F=ma

F=1400kg(15ms^-1/0.73s)=2.88*10^3N or 28,767N

Any questions please feel free to ask.

An ice sled powered by a rocket engine starts from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at 12.8 m/s2 . At t1 the rocket e

Simora [160]

Answer:4.39 s

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity $u=0$

acceleration $a=12.8 m/s^2$

velocity acquired by sled in $t_1$ time

$v=0+at$

$v=12.8t_1$

distance traveled by sled in $t_1 s$

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$(12.8t_1)^2-0=2\times 12.8\times s_1$

$s_1=6.4\cdot t_1^2$

distance traveled in $t_2$ time with velocity $v=12.8t_1$

$s_2=v\times t_2$

$s_2=12.8\times t_1\times t_2$

$s_2=12.8\cdot t_1\cdot t_2$

$s_1+s_2=5.37\times 10^3$

$6.4t_1^2+12.8t_1t_2=5370$ ----1

$t_1+t_2=97.7 s$

$t_2=97.7-t_1$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in 1

we get

$6.4t_1^2-1250.56t_1+5370=0$

thus $t_1=\frac{1250.56-1194.33}{12.8}=4.39 s$

$t_1=4.39 s$
