A stone is dropped from a certain height, distance covered by it in one second is:

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

d = 4.9 m

Explanation:

It is mentioned that a stone is dropped from a certain height. It is required to find the distance covered by it in one second.

The initial speed of the stone is equal to 0 as it was at rest. Let d is the distance covered by the stone.

Using second equation of motion :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Put u = 0 and a = g

$d=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1^2\\\\d=4.9\ m$

So, the distance covered by it in one second is 4.9 m.

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 80.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

(a) 91 kg (2 s.f.) (b) 22 m

Explanation:

Since it is stated that a constant horizontal force is applied to the block of ice, we know that the block of ice travels with a constant acceleration and but not with a constant velocity.

(a)

$s \ = \ ut \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} at^{2} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{2(s \ - \ ut)}{t^{2}} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{2(11 \ - \ 0)}{5^{2}} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{22}{25} \\ \\ a \ = \ 0.88 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}}$

Subsequently,

$F \ = \ ma \\ \\ m \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{F}{a} \\ \\ m \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{80 \ \mathrm{kg \ m \ s^{-2}}}{0.88 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}}} \\ \\ m \ = \ 91 \mathrm{kg} \ \ \ \ \ \ (2 \ \mathrm{s.f.})$

*Note that the equations used above assume constant acceleration is being applied to the system. However, in the case of non-uniform motion, these equations will no longer be valid and in turn, calculus will be used to analyze such motions.

(b) To find the final velocity of the ice block at the end of the first 5 seconds,

$v \ = \ u \ + \ at \\ \\ v \ = \ 0 \ + \ (0.88 \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}})(5 \ \mathrm{s}) \\ \\ v \ = \ 4.4 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-1}}$

According to Newton's First Law which states objects will remain at rest

or in uniform motion (moving at constant velocity) unless acted upon by

an external force. Hence, the block of ice by the end of the first 5

seconds, experiences no acceleration (a = 0) but travels with a constant

velocity of 4.4 $m \ s^{-1}$ .

$s \ = \ ut \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}at^{2} \\ \\ s \ = \ (4.4 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}})(5 \ \mathrm{s}) \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}(0)(5^{2}) \\ \\ s \ = \ 22 \ \mathrm{m}$
