Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1200 kg

Force exerted by the engine, F = 600 N

Noe force,F = ma

a is the acceleration of the engine

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{600\ N}{1200\ kg}\\\\a=0.5\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is 0.5 m/s².

falling objects drop with an average acceleration of 9.8m/sec/sec. if an object falls from a tall building how long will it take

sveta [45]

Answer:

5 seconds

Explanation:

Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) ÷ time

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

$9.8 = \frac{49 - 0}{t}$

$9.8 = \frac{49}{t}$

$9.8t = 49$

$t = \frac{49}{9.8}$

$t = 5$

A runner completes the 300-meter dash in 38 seconds. What is the speed of the runner? Round your answer the answer to the neares

loris [4]

Answer:

speed = 7.9 m/s

Explanation:

speed = total distance / time taken

speed = 300 / 38

speed = 7.89473684 m/s

to the nearest tenth

speed = 7.9 m/s

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with an acceleration of 1.8 m/s^2. If she starts at rest, how far has she traveled in :

DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The acceleration of the toboggan, $a=1.8\ m/s^2$

Initial speed of the toboggan, u = 0

We need to find the distance covered by the toboggan. Using the second equation of motion as :

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

At t = 1 s

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 1^2$

$s_1=0.9\ m$

At t = 2 s

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 2^2$

$s_2=3.6\ m$

At t = 3 s

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 3^2$

$s_3=8.1\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.
