During a football game, the running back changes direction from running 4.5 m/s [N] to 4.5 m/s [S] over 8 s. What is the acceler

ation of the running back during that time?

Explanation:

Take north to be positive and south to be negative.

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (-4.5 m/s − 4.5 m/s) / 8 s

a = -1.125 m/s²

The acceleration is 1.125 m/s² south.

In my trigonometry class, we were assigned a problem on Angular and Linear Velocity.

1) 0.0011 rad/s

2) 7667 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The angular velocity of an object in circular motion is equal to the rate of change of its angular position. Mathematically:

$\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$

where

$\theta$ is the angular displacement of the object

t is the time elapsed

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

In this problem, the Hubble telescope completes an entire orbit in 95 minutes. The angle covered in one entire orbit is

$\theta=2\pi$ rad

And the time taken is

$t=95 min \cdot 60 =5700 s$

Therefore, the angular velocity of the telescope is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{5700}=0.0011 rad/s$

2)

For an object in circular motion, the relationship between angular velocity and linear velocity is given by the equation

$v=\omega r$

where

v is the linear velocity

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circular orbit

In this problem:

$\omega=0.0011 rad/s$ is the angular velocity of the Hubble telescope

The telescope is at an altitude of

h = 600 km

over the Earth's surface, which has a radius of

R = 6370 km

So the actual radius of the Hubble's orbit is

$r=R+h=6370+600=6970 km = 6.97\cdot 10^6 m$

Therefore, the linear velocity of the telescope is:

$v=\omega r=(0.0011)(6.97\cdot 10^6)=7667 m/s$

An object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. If the net force was doubled and the mass was one-third the original value, then the

alexandr402 [8]

Hahahahaha. Okay.

So basically , force is equal to mass into acceleration.

F=ma

so when F=ma , we get acceleration=6m/s/s

Force is doubled.

Mass is 1/3 times original.

2F=1/3ma

Now , we rearrange , and we get 6F=ma

So , now for 6 times the original force , we get 6 times the initial acceleration.

So new acceleration = 6*6= 36m/s/s

A tiger leaps horizontally out of a tree that is 6.00 m high. If he lands 2.00 m from the base of the tree, calculate his initia

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The initial speed of the tiger is 1.80 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the position vector of the tiger is the following:

r = (x0 + v0 · t, y0 + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at a time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position,

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference on the ground at the point where the tree is located so that the initial position vector will be:

r0 = (0.00, 6.00) m

We can use the equation of the vertical component of the position vector to obtain the time it takes the tiger to reach the ground.

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

When the tiger reaches the ground, y = 0:

0 = 6.00 m - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

2 · (-6.00 m) / -9.81 m/s² = t²

t = 1.11 s

We know that in 1.11 s the tiger travels 2.00 m in the horizontal direction. Then, using the equation of the horizontal component of the position vector we can find the initial speed:

x = x0 + v0 · t

At t = 1.11 s, x = 2.00 m

x0 = 0

2.00 m = v0 · 1.11 s

2.00 m / 1.11 s = v0

v0 = 1.80 m/s

The initial speed of the tiger is 1.80 m/s
