A small piece of Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height of 2.60 m above the ground. Until it reaches terminal speed

, the magnitude of its acceleration is given by a = g − Bv. After falling 0.600 m, the Styrofoam effectively reaches terminal speed, and then takes 4.50 s more to reach the ground.
(a) What is the value of the constant B? s-1.
(b) What is the acceleration at t = 0? [m/s2 (down)].
(c) What is the acceleration when the speed is 0.150 m/s? [m/s2 (down)].

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) After the attainment of terminal speed , object takes 4.5 s to cover a distance of 2 m

So terminal speed V = 2 / 4.5

= .444 m /s

When it attains terminal speed , acceleration becomes zero

0 = g - B x .444

B = 22.25 s⁻¹

b ) At t = 0 , v = 0

a = g - B v

a = g at t = 0

c ) When v = .15

a = g - 22.25 x .15

= 9.8 - 3.31

= 6.5  m /s²

A weight lifter picks up a barbell and 1. lifts it chest high 2. holds it for 30 seconds 3. puts it down slowly (but does not dr
Anna11 [10]

1. lifts it chest high

The force opposing to this action is the force due to gravity. Therefore the work done is:

W1 = m g d

where m is mass of the barbell, g is gravity and d is displacement

 

2. holds it for 30 seconds

Work is a product of force and displacement, since there is no displacement, therefore work done is zero.

W2 = 0

 

3. puts it down slowly

If the barbell was dropped, then it would simply be a free fall. But since it was not, so the work done here is also equal to the weight of the barbell times displacement:

W3 = m g d

 

We can see that W1 = W3, and since W2 = 0, therefore the answer is:

<span>w3 = w1 > w2</span>

How to get a + b on a graph
Nataly [62]

The first positively essential requirement is that
you absolutely have to know what 'a' and 'b' are.

I have no clue, so this is as far as I can go.

What happens to the momentum of an object when velocity is kept the same and the mass is increased?
Jet001 [13]
Momentum = mass x velocity so if velocity is kept same and mass is increased then momentum will increase.
