Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 22 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 17.32 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 m/s) = a (17.32 s) + (22 m/s)

a = -1.270 m/s²

Round as needed.

<u>Answer:</u>

A truck traveling with an initial velocity of 22 m/s comes to a stop in 17.32 sec, the acceleration of the truck is $- 1.27 m/s^2$

<u>Explanation</u>

From the Given statements, we know that Initial Velocity (u) = 22 m/s

time (t) = 17.32 seconds

Final Velocity (v) = 0 m/s [ because the truck Stops]

find acceleration on Applying the Equation of Motion

v = u + at

substituting the values in above equation, we find

a = $\frac{\mathrm{v}-\mathrm{u}}{\mathrm{t}}$

= $\frac{0-22}{17.32} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

a = $- 1.27 m/s^2$ [negative sign shows reverse direction]

A hockey puck sliding along frictionless ice with speed v to the right collides with a horizontal spring and compresses it by 1.

patriot [66]

Answer:

The spring's maximum compression will be 2.0 cm

Explanation:

There are two energies in this problem, kinetic energy $K= \frac{mv^{2}}{2}$ and elastic potential energy $U= \frac{kx^{2}}{2}$ (with m the mass, v the velocity, x the compression and k the spring constant. ) so the total mechanical energy at every moment is the sum of the two energies:

$E=K+U$

Here we have a situation where the total mechanical energy of the system is conserved because there are no dissipative forces (there's no friction), so:

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$K_{i}+U_{i}=K_{f}+U_{f}$

Note that at the initial moment where the hockey puck has not compressed the spring all the energy of the system is kinetic energy, but for a momentary stop all the energy of the system is potential elastic energy, so we have:

$K_{i} = U_{f}$

$\frac{mv^{2}}{2}=\frac{kx^{2}}{2}$ (1)

Due conservation of energy the equality (1) has to be maintained, so if we let k and m constant x has to increase the same as v to maintain the equality. Therefore, if we increase velocity to 2v we have to increase compression to 2x to conserve the equality. This is 2(1.0) = 2.0 cm

Using the right amount of significant figures, calculate the answer to the following problem, 215.5+101.02555

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

This is how I figured it out:

215.5 rounded to one significant figure is 200
101.02555 rounded to one significant figure is 100.
200 + 100 = 300.

Hope this helps!

Consult Interactive Solution 16.15 in order to review a model for solving this problem. To measure the acceleration due to gravi

morpeh [17]

Answer:

g = 1.19 m / s²

Explanation:

Let's solve this problem in parts.

Let's start by looking for the speed of the pulse in the wire, the wave speed is constant

v = l / t

let's calculate

v = 1.52 / 0.0833

v = 18.25 m / s

now we can use the relationship between velocity and material properties

v = $\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu } }$

T = v² μ

let's calculate

T = 18.25² 4.41 10-4

T = 1.4688 10-1 N

finally let's use the equilibrium condition

T - W = 0

W = T

m g = T

g = T / m

we calculate

g = 1.4688 10⁻¹ / 0.123

g = 1.19 m / s²
