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}}

| A 1.0 kg stone is dropped from a bridge 100 m above a canyon. What will be the kinetic energy of the stone after it
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option D

490 J

Explanation:

When at a height of 100 am above and released, the ball initially posses only potential energy. When it falls, some potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Initial potential energy= mgh where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is height. Substituting 1 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 100 m for h then

PE initial = 1*9.81*100= 981 J

At 50 m, PE will be 1*9.81*50=490.5 J

Subtracting PE at 50 m from initial PE we get the energy that has been converted to kinetic energy hence

981-490.5= 490.5 J

Approximately, 490 J
