A drag racer starts from rest and accelerates at 7.4 m/s2. How far will he travel in 2.0 seconds?

Physics

Leto [7]3 years ago

Using the kinematic equation below we can determine the distance traveled if t=2, a=7.4m/s^2.  First we must determine the final velocity:

v_{final}=v_{initial}+\frac{1}{2}at\\\\v_{final}=0+(7.4m/s^2)(2s)=34.8m/s

Now we will determine the distance traveled:

v_{final}^2=v_{initial}^2+2a \Delta x\\\\\Delta x = \frac{v_{final}^2}{2a} =\frac{(34.8)^2}{(2)(7.4)}=81.83 m

Therefore, the drag racer traveled 81.83 meters in 2 seconds.

A block is released to slide down a frictionless incline of 15∘ and then it encounters a frictional surface with a coefficient o
Elodia [21]

The block's potential energy at the top of the incline (at a height h from the horizontal surface) is equal to its kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline, so that

mgh = 1/2 mv²

where v is its speed at the bottom of the incline. It follows that

v = √(2gh)

If the incline is 20.4 m long, that means the block has a starting height of

sin(15°) = h/(20.4 m)   ⇒   h = (20.4 m) sin(15°) ≈ 5.2799 m

and so the block attains a speed of

v = √(2gh) ≈ 10.1728 m/s

The block then slides to a rest over a distance d. Kinetic friction exerts a magnitude F over this distance and performs an amount of work equal to Fd. By the work-energy theorem, this quantity is equal to the block's change in kinetic energy, so that

Fd = 0 - 1/2 mv²   ⇒   d = (-1293.58 J)/F

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force on the block as it slides is

∑ F [vertical] = n - mg = 0

where n is the magnitude of the normal force, so that

n = mg = (25 kg) g = 245 N

and thus the magnitude of friction is

F = -0.16 (245 N) = -39.2 N

(negative since it opposes the block's motion)

Then the block slides a distance of

d = (-1293.58 J) / (-39.2 N) ≈ 32.9994 m ≈ 33 m

A vehicle travelling at an initial velocity of 20km/hr,accelerates at 4m/s².calculate its final velocity after 10 seconds.​
Nikitich [7]

acceleration = Velocity changes ÷ time of the velocity changes

4 m/s^2 =

4 × 10^(-3) × 3600 km / h =

4 × 3.6 =

14.4 km / h

Thus :

14.4 = V(2) - V(1) / t(2) - t(1)

14.4 = V(2) - 20 / 10

Multiply both sides by 10

10 × 14.4 = 10 × ( V(2) - 20 ) / 10

144 = V(2) - 20

Add both sides 20

144 + 20 = V(2) - 20 + 20

V(2) = 164 Km/h

Thus the final velocity after 10 seconds is 164 Km/h .

Ashkon throws a basketball across the court to his teammate. The ball has 57 J of potential energy and 61 J of kinetic energy. W
Gwar [14]
The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:
E=U+K=57 J+61 J=118 J
so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.
