A ball rolls down an incline with an acceleration of 10 cm/s^2. If it starts with an initial velocity of 0 cm/s and has a velocy

Given a = 10 cm/s²
          u = 0 cm/s
          v = 50 cm/s
we know that 
         v²=u²+2aS
        2500=2×10×S
        2500÷20 = S
        S= 125 cm
The ramp is 125 cm

Jerry the mouse is running along a straight desert road at a constant velocity of 18 m/s. If a certain Tom cat wants to capture
Kruka [31]

Answer:

a) t = 1.75 s

b) x = 31.5 m

Explanation:

a) The time at which Tom should drop the net can be found using the following equation:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{oy}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y_{f}: is the final height = 0

y₀: is the initial height = 15 m

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v_{0y}: is the initial vertical velocity of the net = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

0 = 15m - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*t^{2}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2*15 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.75 s

Hence, Tom should drop the net at 1.75 s before Jerry is under the bridge.

b) We can find the distance at which is Jerry when Tom drops the net as follows:

v = \frac{x}{t}

x = v*t = 18 m/s*1.75 m = 31.5 m

Then, Jerry is at 31.5 meters from the bridge when Jerry drops the net.

I hope it helps you!

Why caring a body and moving with it is not a work done<br><br> Why :​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Work done on an object is equal to

FDcos(angle).

So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.

However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.

But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?

Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.
