Answer:

Wellll. I am assuming the direction of speed is in the same direction as the direction of displacement of the train. (i.e. Velocity is positive)

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time (m^s-2)

When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 35.0 kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. calculate the fo

Sliva [168]

The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.

Now from Newton`s first law, the net force on gymnast,

$F_{net} =F-W=ma$

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast ( $9\times g$ acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore,

$F= ma+W$ OR $F=ma+mg=m(g+a)$

Given $m = 30 kg$ and $a=9\times g=9\times 9.8 m/s^{2} =88.2 m/s^{2}$

Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,

$F=(40 kg) (88.2 m/s^{2} +9.8 m/s^{2} )$

$F=3.537\times10^{3}N$

A meter stick is balanced at the 50 cm mark. You tie a 20 N weight at the 20 cm mark. Where should a 30 N weight be placed so th

vivado [14]

Answer:

20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

Explanation:

The length of meter stick is 1 m = 100 cm

Balance point on 50 cm

From the center the 20 N weight is 50-20 = 30 cm

Torque is obtained when force is multiplied with the distance

As the force is conserved we have

$\dfrac{20}{30}\times 30=20\ cm$

The distance will be 20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

What is the derivative of x^2 - x + 3 at the point x = 5?

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

d/dx (x² - x + 3)

= 2x - 1

when x = 5,

2x-1

= 2(5) - 1

= 10 - 1

= 9
