Answer:

The ball stops instantaneously at the topmost point of the motion.

Explanation:

Assume we have thrown a ball up in the air. For that we have given a force on the ball and it acquires an initial velocity in the upward direction.

The forces that resist the motion of the ball in the upward direction are the force of gravity and air resistance. The ball will instantaneously come to rest when the velocity of the ball reduces to zero.

The two forces acting in the downward direction reduces its speed continuously and it becomes zero at the topmost point.

A train moving at 5 m/sec passed a track gang and then accelerated uniformly a rate of 1.2 m/sec/sec for 5 min. How far did the
Amanda [17]

Answer:

S = V0 t + 1/2 a t^2

S = 5 m/s * 300 s + 1/2 * 1.2 m/s * (300 s^2)

S = 1500 m + .6 * 90000 m = 55,500 m

Check:     V0 = 5 m/s

                V2 = V0 + a t  = 5 + 1.2 * 300 = 365 m/s

Vav = (V1 + V2) / 2 = (5 + 365) / 2 = 185 m/s     (note uniform motion)

S = 185 * 300 = 55,500 m

We calculated V2 above at 365 m/s  the speed after 300 sec

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 61.8 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) Frope= 71.7 N

b) Frope=6.7 N

Explanation:

In the figure the skier is simulated as an object, "a box".

a) At constant velocity we can say that the object is in equilibrium, so we apply the Newton's first law:

∑F=0

Frope=w*sen6.8°

Frope=71.71N

Take into account that w is the weight that is calculated as mass per gravitiy constant:

w=m*g

w=61.8Kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }

w=605.64N

b) In this case the system has an acceleration of 0.109m/s2.  Then, we apply Newton's second law of motion:

F=m*a

F=61.8Kg*0.109m/s2

Frope=6.73N

A 82-kg fisherman in a 112-kg boat throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally toward the right with a speed of vi = 4.8 m/s
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0.37 m/s to the left

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.  Initial momentum = final momentum.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Initially, both the fisherman/boat and the package are at rest.

0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Plugging in values and solving:

0 = (82 kg + 112 kg) v + (15 kg) (4.8 m/s)

v = -0.37 m/s

The boat's velocity is 0.37 m/s to the left.

A disk is uniformly accelerated from rest with angular acceleration α. The magnitude of the linear acceleration of a point on th
solniwko [45]

Answer:

a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disc is in two directions

1) tangential acceleration which is given as

a_t = R\alpha

2) Centripetal acceleration

a_c = \omega^2 R

here we know that

\omega = \alpha t

a_c = (\alpha t)^2 R

now we know that net linear acceleration is given as

a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_t^2}

so we have

a = \sqrt{R^2\alpha^2 + R^2(\alpha t)^4}

a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}

Which explains why more energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions? Chemical reactions are always endoth
Natali [406]
More energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions; this is because in nuclear reactions, mass is converted to energy. Nuclear energy released in nuclear fission and fusion is several 100 million times as large as an ordinary chemical reaction like the combustion process. The reason why nuclear energy release so much energy is because tremendous amounts of energy is released at one time. The nuclei in a nuclear reaction undergo a chain reaction, causing the neutrons to move extremely fast and release high amounts of energy.
