Answer:

100.12m/s

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

$\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X$

where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

=5m/s

A = acceleration

=10m/s^2

X = displacement

=500m

solving for vf

$Vf=\sqrt{Vo^2+2aX} \\Vf=\sqrt{5^2+2(10)(500)} \\\\Vf=100.12m/s$

the speed of the motorboat at the end of that 500 m is 100.12m/s

A 1.0-kg ball is attached to the end of a 2.5-m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string h

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$v_{2}=3.5 m/s$

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy we have:

$\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mgh$

Let's solve it for v:

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

So the speed at the lowest point is $v=7 m/s$

Now, using the conservation of momentum we have:

$m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}$

$v_{2}=\frac{1*7}{2}$

Therefore the speed of the block after the collision is $v_{2}=3.5 m/s$

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

$m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg$

Explanation:

Given data:

PERIOD OF MOTION IS T = 25.5 days

orbital speeds = 220 km/s

we know that

acceleration due to centripetal force is $a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{V^2}{r}$

Gravitational force $F= \frac{Gm m}{d^2}$

we know that

$v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}$

solving for

$R = \frac{vT}{2\pi}$

$F = \frac{Gm^2}{4(\frac{vT}{2\pi})^2}$

$F = G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2}$

$a = \frac{v^2}{\frac{vT}{2\pi}}$

$a = \frac{2\pi v}{T}$

we know that

f =ma

$G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2} = a = \frac{2\pi m v}{T}$

solving for m

$m = \frac{2Tv^3}{\pi G}$

$m = \frac{2\times 25.5 \times 86400 \times 220000^3\ m/s}{\pi \times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg$
