Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

What is the average velocity of a train moving along a straight track if its displacement is 192 m was during a time period of 8

Alex

Answer:

The average velocity of a train moving along a straight track if its displacement is 192 m was during a time period of 8.0 s is 24 $\frac{m}{s}$ .

Explanation:

Velocity is a physical quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it. Then, the average velocity relates the change in position to the time taken to effect that change.

$velocity=\frac{displacement}{time}$

Velocity considers the direction in which an object moves, so it is considered a vector magnitude.

In this case, the displacement is 192 m and the time period is 8 s. Replacing:

$velocity=\frac{192 m}{8 s}$

Solving:

velocity= 24 $\frac{m}{s}$

The average velocity of a train moving along a straight track if its displacement is 192 m was during a time period of 8.0 s is 24 $\frac{m}{s}$ .

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.320 with the floor. If

mart [117]

Answer: 29.50 m

Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:

f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction multiply the normal force (m*g).

f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a

then

a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2

With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train

as follows:

x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2

Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a

Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m

Calculate the work done by the cyclist when his power output is 200 W for 1800 seconds.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

3.6 × 10^5 J

Explanation:

Work Done = Energy

Energy = Power × time

Energy = 200 × 1800

= 360000 J

W =

$3.6 \times 10 {}^{5} j$
