Consider the upward direction of motion as positive and downward direction of motion as negative.

a = acceleration due to gravity in downward direction = - 9.8 $\frac{m }{s^{2}}$

v₀ = initial velocity of rock in upward direction = ?

v = final velocity of rock at the highest point = 0 $\frac{m }{s}$

t = time to reach the maximum height = 4.2 sec

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = v₀ + (- 9.8) (4.2)

v₀ = 41.2 $\frac{m }{s}$

Identify all the forces acting on a passenger while going through a loop.

shusha [124]

Answer:

"Gravitational force and the acceleration force" are the forces that are acting on a passenger while going through a loop.

Explanation:

When the passengers reach the top of the loop, The force of the car's acceleration pushes all the passengers off the seat and towards the center of the loop. On the other hand the inertia will try to push the passengers back into the seat. The gravity as well as the acceleration will tend to push the passenger in opposite direction with approximately equal force, which will create a feeling of being mass-less or we can call it weightlessness.

A 86.3 μC charge has a potential of 17.5 V. Determine how much kinetic energy, in eV, this charge could have.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

9.44 eV

Explanation:

q = Amount of charge = 86.3 μC = 86.3 x 10⁻⁶ C (Since 1 μC = 10⁻⁶ C)

V = Electric potential of the charge = 17.5 Volts

U = Amount of electric potential energy carried by charge

Amount of electric potential energy carried by charge is given as

U = q V

Inserting the values

U = (86.3 x 10⁻⁶) (17.5)

U = 0.00151 J

U = $\frac{0.00151}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

U = 9.44 eV

KE = Kinetic energy the charge could have

Using conservation of energy

KE = U

KE = 9.44 eV

A 72 kg sled Is pulled forward from rest by a snowmobile and accelerates at 2 m/s squared forward for five seconds. The force of

Inga [223]

So first make a force diagram. I would label forward forces + and backward forces -. Essentially, the drag force is equal to the Ft (force of tension) + Ff (force of friction on snowmobile - driver system). The force of Friction is equal to mu * Fn. We can find mu through the force of friction acting on the sled. 120 N = mu * Fn (equal to m * g of sled). mu of the Ice is equal to 0.167. So, 540 N = Ft + 0.167 * 4500 N. Ft = -211.5 N. <u>Ft is acting in the backwards direction at a magnitude of 211.5 N</u>
