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.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

<h2>E. 3.95kW</h2>

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of workdone.

Power = Workdone/time taken

Given Workdone = Force * distance

Power = Force * distance/time taken

Power = mgd/t (F = mg)

m = mass of the sand in kg

g = acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

d = vertical distance covered in metres

t = time taken in seconds

Given m = 2000kg, d = 12m, t = 1min = 60secs, g = 9.8m/s²

Power = 2000*9.8*12/60

Power = 3920Watts

Minimum rate of power that must be supplied to this machine is 3920Watts or 3.92kW

A skydiver falls toward the ground at a constant velocity. Which statement best applies Newton’s laws of motion to explain the s
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The answer is (a.) An upward force balances the downward force gravity on the skydiver

The skydiver is falling at a constant velocity because the upward force is balancing the downward force of gravity. According to Newton, the opposite force balance each other. This is stated in Newton's second law of motion.

A person wants to make a metronome for music practice. He uses a 35-g object attached to a spring to serve as the time standard.
alukav5142 [94]

To develop this problem it will be necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency of a spring mass system, for which it is necessary that its mathematical function is described as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Here,

k = Spring constant

m = Mass

Our values are given as,

m = 35g = 35*10^{-3}kg

f = 1 Hz

Rearranging to find the spring constant we have that,

k = (2\pi f \sqrt{m})^2

k = 4\pi^2 f^2 m

k = (4) (\pi)^2 (1) (35*10^{-3})

k = 1.38N/m

Therefore the spring constant is 1.38N/m
