Answer:

the object is moving forward but it is slowing down

Explanation:

negative acceleration becomes when the intiall velocity becomes greater than the final which means if it is initially greater but finally smaller that means it is slowing down but moving forward

On a frictionless surface how much force is necessary to accelerate a 0.49 kg object to the left at 4.8 m/s2?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

force = 0.49 × 4.8 = 2.352

We have the final answer as

A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end when it

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.4 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.

$L$ = length of the meter stick = 1 m

$m$ = mass of the meter stick

$w$ = angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor

$v$ = speed of the other end of the stick

we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as

$v = r w\\w = \frac{v}{r}$

$h$ = height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor = $\frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 m$

$I$ = Moment of inertia of the stick about one end

For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as

$I = \frac{mL^{2} }{3}$

Using conservation of energy

Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy

$(0.5) I w^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{mL^{2} }{3}) (\frac{v}{L} )^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = gh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = (9.8)(0.5)\\v = 5.4 ms^{-1}$

Answer:

Explanation:

Theorem of Binomial Distribution will apply here.

n = 29 , p = .67 , q = 0.33

mean = np = 29 x .67 = 19.43

Standard Deviation = √npq

= √29 x .67 x .33

= √6.4

= 2.53
