Answer:

h= 78.4 m

Explanation:

The ball moves with a uniformly accelerated movement in the vertical direction (y), we apply the following formulas:

vfy= v₀y+g*t Formula (1)

vfy²=v₀y²+2*g*h Formula (2)

h: hight in meters (m)

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀y: initial speed in y (m/s)

vfy: final speed in y ( m/s )

g: accelerationdue to gravity (m/s² )

Known Data

v₀y= 0

t= 4 s

g= 9,8 m/s²

We apply the formula (1) to calculate vfy

vfy= v₀y+g*t

vfy= 0+ (9,8)*(4)

vfy= 39.2 m/s

We apply the formula (2) to calculate h

vfy²=v₀y²+2*g*h

(39.2)²=0+2*9.8*h

h = (39.2)² / (2*9.8)

h= 78.4 m

In a shipping company distribution center, an open cart of mass 50.0 kg is rolling to the left at a speed of 5.00 m/s. Ignore fr

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

a) $v_p=9.35m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Open cart of mass $M_o=50.0 kg$

Speed of cart $V=5.00m/s$

Mass of package $M_p=15.0kg$

Speed of package at end of chute $V_c=3.00m/s$

Angle of inclination $\angle =37$

Distance of chute from bottom of cart $d_x=4.00m$

a)

Generally the equation for work energy theory is mathematically given by

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv_p^2$

Therefore

$\frac{1}{2}u^2+gh=\frac{1}{2}v_p^2$

$v_p=\sqrt{2(\frac{1}{2}u^2+gh)}$

$v_p=\sqrt{2(\frac{1}{2}v_c^2+gd_x)}$

$v_p=\sqrt{2(\frac{1}{2}(3)^2+(9.8)(4))}$

$v_p=9.35m/s$

Why do planets rings surround them and not the sun

Shalnov [3]

Well, the rings surrounding a planet are made out of rock. A ring surrounding the sun would be impossible since the sun can reach more than 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius.)

Hope this helped.

if a Firebird travels at a velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds traveling east what was the acceleration of the Firebird

Tresset [83]

Answer:

6.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula of acceleration is:

$\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2-t_1}}$

where $\displaystyle{\vec{a}}$ is acceleration, $\displaystyle{\vec{v}}$ is velocity and $\displaystyle{t}$ is time. $\displaystyle{v_2}$ means final velocity. $\displaystyle{v_1}$ means initial velocity, $\displaystyle{t_2}$ means final time and $\displaystyle{t_1}$ means initial time.

We are given that the Firebird travels at velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds. Therefore:

Our initial velocity starts at 0 mph.
Our final velocity is at 60 mph.
Our initial time is 0 second.
Our final time is 4 seconds.

Since it travels to the east then our vector will be positive. However, acceleration has to be in m/s^2 unit (Sl unit) so we'll have to convert from mph (miles per hours) to m/s (meters per second) first.

We know that:

A mile equals to 1609.344 meters.
An hour equals to 60 minutes which a minute equals to 60 seconds. So 60 minutes will equal to 3600 seconds.

Now we divide 1609.344 by 3600 to find a unit rate of m/s:

$\displaystyle{\dfrac{1609.344}{3600} \ \, \sf{m/s}}\\\\\displaystyle{= 0.44704 \ \, \sf{m/s}}$

Now multiply 0.44704 m/s by 0 and 60 to get velocity in m/s unit:

Initial velocity = 0 m/s
Final velocity = 60 * 0.44704 = 26.82 m/s

Time is already in second so no need for conversion. Substitute known information in the formula:

$\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82-0}{4-0}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82}{4}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = 6.7 \ \, \sf{m/s^2}}$

Therefore, the Firebird will accelerate at the rate of 6.7 m/s^2.
