Answer:
(A) 10052.2 m/s²
(B) 0.00678 seconds
Explanation:
From the question,
(A) Applying
V² = U²+2as..................... Equation 1
Where V = Final velocity, U = Initial velocity, a = acceleration due to gravity, s = distance.
make a the subject of the equation
a = (V²-U²)/2s........................ Equation 2
Given: U = 0 m/s( from rest), V = 68 m/s, s = 0.230 m
Substitute these values into equation 2
a = (68²-0²)/(2×0.230)
a = 10052.2 m/s²
(B) Using,
a = (V-U)/t......................... Equation 3
Where t= time.
make t the subject of the equation
t = (V-U)/a......................... Equation 4
Given: V = 68 m/s, U = 0 m/s, a = 10052.2
Substitute into equation 4
t = (68-0)/10052.2
t = 0.00678 seconds
Answer: Compared to displacement and velocity, acceleration is like the angry, fire-breathing dragon of motion variables. It can be violent; some people are scared of it; and if it's big, it forces you to take notice. That feeling you get when you're sitting in a plane during take-off, or slamming on the brakes in a car, or turning a corner at a high speed in a go kart are all situations where you are accelerating.
<em>Answer:</em>
Simple, there could be air in the package and volume would record that, whereas mass would count the mass of the cereal and discount the air.
