I need help with this physics question, "A skateboarder rolled down the sidewalk with an initial velocity of 2.5m/s. If her acce

leration was 1.7 m/s^2, what was her velocity after she had skated 130m?"

Recall that

{v_f}^2={v_i}^2+2a\Delta x

where v_i and v_f are the skateboarder's velocity, respectively; a is her acceleration; and \Delta x is the change in her position.

Substitute everything you know and solve for v_f:

{v_f}^2=\left(2.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+2\left(1.7\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(130\,\mathrm m)\implies v_f=448.25\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}\implies\boxed{v_f\approx21\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

When the daughter nucleus produced in a radioactive decay is itself unstable, it will eventually decay and form its own daughter
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

4.981 MeV

Explanation:

The quantity of energy Q can be calculated using the formula

Q = (mass before - mass after) × c²

Atomic Mass of thorium = 232.038054 u, atomic of Radium = 228.0301069 u and mass of Helium = 4.00260. The difference of atomic number and atomic mass  between the thorium and radium ( 232 - 228)  and ( 90 - 88)  show α particle was emitted.

1 u = 931.494 Mev/c²

Q = (mass before - mass after) × c²

Q = ( mass of thorium - ( mass of Radium + mass of Helium ) )× c²

Q = 232.038054 u - ( 228.0301069 + 4.00260) × c²

Q = 0.0053471 u × c²

replace 1 u = 931.494 MeV/ c²

Q = 0.0053471 × c² × (931.494 MeV / c²)

cancel c²  from the equation

Q = 0.0053471 × 931.494 MeV = 4.981 MeV

A 3.0-kg block starts at rest at the top of a 37° incline, which is 5.0 m long. Its speed when it reaches the bottom is 2.0 m/s.
Mama L [17]

Answer: f_{r} = 16.49N

Explanation: The object is placed on an inclined plane at an angle of 37° thus making it weight have two component,

W_{x} = horizontal component of the weight = mgsinФ

W_{y} = vertical component of weight = mgcosФ

Due to the way the object is positioned, the horizontal component of force will accelerate the object thus acting as an applied force.

by using newton's law of motion, we have that

mgsinФ - f_{r} = ma

where m = mass of object=5kg

a = acceleration= unknown

Ф = angle of inclination = 37°

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^{2}

f_{r} = frictional force = unknown

we need to first get the acceleration before the frictional force which is gotten by using the equation below

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2aS

where v = final velocity = 2m/s

u = initial velocity = 0m/s (because the object started from rest)

a= unknown

S= distance covered = length of plane = 5m

2^{2} = 0^{2} + 2*a*5\\\\4= 10 *a\\\\a = \frac{4}{10} \\a = 0.4m/s^{2}

we slot in a into the equation below to get frictional force

mgsinФ - f_{r} = ma

3 * 9.8 * sin 37 - f_{r} = 3* 0.4

17.9633 - f_{r} =  1.2

f_{r} = 17.9633 - 1.2

f_{r} = 16.49N

A soccer ball takes 20 s to roll 10 m. What is the average speed of the soccer ball.
Georgia [21]

Explanation:

velocity is distance divided by time.

so

the average speed of the ball is 10m/20s

= 0.5 m/s
