A car is travelling at 20m/s, accelerates at 4m/s2 . Calculate its velocity after 5s?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

<u>40 m/s</u>

Explanation:

The final velocity of an object that experiences a period of acceleration is given by:

v - vi = A*t

Initial velocity, vi, is = 20m/s

Acceleration, A, is 4m/2^2

Time, t, is 5 seconds

v - vi = A*t

v - 20m/s = (4m/2^2)/(5 sec)

v = (20 m/s) + (20 m/s)

v = 40 m/s

5) [Honors]A seagull, ascending straight upward at 5.2 m/s, drops a shell when it is 12.5m above the ground. (A)
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

(B) 13.9 m

(C) 1.06 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5.2 m/s

y₀ = 12.5 m

(A) The acceleration in free fall is -9.8 m/s².

(B) At maximum height, v = 0 m/s.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (5.2 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 12.5 m)

y = 13.9 m

(C) When the shell returns to a height of 12.5 m, the final velocity v is -5.2 m/s.

v = at + v₀

-5.2 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.2 m/s

t = 1.06 s

A 3.9 kg block is pushed along a horizontal floor by a force of magnitude 30 N at a downward angle θ = 40°. The coefficient of k
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The frictional force  F_{fri} = 6.446 N

The acceleration of the block a = 6.04 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Explanation:

Mass of the block = 3.9 kg

\theta = 40°

\mu = 0.22

(a). The frictional force is given by

F_{fri} = \mu R_{N}

R_{N} = mg \cos \theta

R_{N} = 3.9 × 9.81 × \cos 40

R_{N} = 29.3 N

Therefore the frictional force

F_{fri} = 0.22 × 29.3

F_{fri} = 6.446 N

(b). Block acceleration is given by

F_{net} = F - F_{fri}

F = 30 N

F_{fri} = 6.446 N

F_{net} = 30 - 6.446

F_{net} = 23.554 N

The net force acting on the block is given by

F_{net}  = ma

23.554 = 3.9 × a

a = 6.04 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

This is the acceleration of the block.
