The cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration exerted by an object is the measure of change in speed or velocity of that object with respect to time. So the initial and final velocities play a major role in determining the acceleration of the cyclist. As here the initial velocity of the cyclist is the speed at rest and that is given as 0 m/s. Then after 3 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist changes to 9 m/s.

Then acceleration = change in velocity/Time.

$Acceleration = \frac{Change in velocity}{Time taken}$

Acceleration = (9-0)/3=9/3=3 m/s².

So the cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

Explanation:

since both the teammates are of the same height, their height won't matter. Because now the basketball won't cover any vertical distance.

We have to calculate its range the horizontal distance covered by it when tossed from one teammate to the other.

range can be calculated by the formula :-

$\boxed{\mathfrak{range = \frac{ u {}^{2} \sin 2\theta }{g} }}$

u is the velocity during its take off and $\theta$ is the angle at which its thrown

Given that

u = 8m/ s
$\theta$ = 40°

calculating range using the above formula

$= \frac{ {8}^{2} \sin2(40) }{10}$

$= \frac{64 \times \sin(80) }{10}$

value of sin 80 = 0. 985

$= \frac{64 \times 0.985}{10}$

$= \frac{63.027}{10}$

$= 6.3027$

Hence,

$\mathfrak { \blue{the \: teammate \: is \: \red{\underline{6.3027 \: meters} }\: away } }$

devlian [24]

Answer:

3.192 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.900 seconds

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 1.1 meters

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{1.1-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.9^2}{0.9}\\\Rightarrow u=-3.192\ m/s$

Velocity of the elevator when it snapped is 3.192 m/s
