Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Fofino [41]
The equation for gravitational force is provided. If you were to put 1/10 times d (distance) than 1/10 would be squared = 1/100. So the gravitational force would be 100 times more.

What physics is involved for a passenger feeling pushed backward into the seat of an airplane when it accelerates along the runw
timofeeve [1]

It's due to Inertia. The law of Inertia states that a body will try to retain its movement state if possible. This means, if a body is at rest, it will try to remain at rest using forces. Similarly, if it's in movement, it will try to remain in movement.

In this example, the plane is moving forwards, and so do the seats, which in turn push the passenger forwards.The force felt is Inertia acting on the body, trying to counter the movement.

A hydraulic lift has pistons with diameter 28cm and 70cm, respectively. If a force of 500 N is exerted at the input piston. What
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

3125 N

Explanation:

diameter /2 =radius

so r1 =14cm , r2 =35cm

f1/A1 =f2/A2.

f2 = f1 × A2 / A1

=500×1225 pi cm² / 96 pi cm²

f2 =3125N
