Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

5.33*10^-3 seconds

Explanation:

c = d/t

c = speed of light constant (3.0*10^5 km/s)

d = distance (1600 km)

t = ?

3.0*10^5 = 1600/t

t = 1600/3.0*10^5

t = 5.33*10^-3 seconds

I hope this helped! :)

A rock is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of of 24.9m/s^2 . what maximum height will the rock reach before starting
Over [174]

Answer:

maximum height = 31.63 m

Explanation:

Please notice that the units of velocity that you were giving are incorrect. They should be m/s. The ones given in the problem are in fact units of acceleration (not velocity). I am assuming that the initial velocity of the rock is 24.9 m/s to solve this problem.

Let's start by finding the time it takes the rock to reach that maximum height at which point, the velocity of the rock will be zero (just before changing its direction of movement and starting heading down.

We can use the fact that the initial velocity (v_i) of the rock is 24.9 m/s, the final velocity (v_f) at the maximum height is zero, and that the only acceleration it is getting is that of gravity (g) slowing down it motion:

v_f-v_i=-g\,*\,t\\0-24.9=-9.8\,*\,t\\t=\frac{-24.9}{-9.8} \\t=2.54\,s

Now we can use this time it takes the rock to reach the maximum height, in the kinematic expression for the distance covered:

y_f-y_i=v_i\,*\,t-\frac{1}{2} \,g\,*\,t^2\\y_f-y_i=24.9\,(2.54)-\frac{1}{2} \,9.8\,*\,(2.54)^2\\y_f-y_i=31.63\,m

The units of height will come directly in meters (m) after evaluating, since we use all the quantities in the SI system.

What is the acceleration at 3 seconds?<br><br> Please explain your answer. Thank you :]
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

-3 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Acceleration on a VT graph is the slope of the line at the given point. We can find the slope at 3 with Δy/Δx. This gives us (4-2)/(3-(-3)) which works out to be -3m/s^2

A person jumps out a fourth-story window 14 m above a firefighter safety net. The survivor stretches the net 1.8 m before coming
Monica [59]

Answer:

The deceleration is  a =  - 76.27 m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height above  firefighter safety net is H  = 14 \ m

   The length by which the net is stretched is s =  1.8 \ m

   

From the law of energy conservation

    KE_T + PE_T =  KE_B + PE_B

 Where KE_T is the kinetic energy of the person before jumping which equal to zero(because to kinetic energy at maximum height )

   and  PE_T is the potential energy of the before jumping  which is mathematically represented at

          PE_T  = mg H

and  KE_B is the kinetic energy of the person just before landing on the safety net  which is mathematically represented at

        KE_B = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

and  PE_B is the potential energy of the person as he lands on the safety net which has a value of zero (because it is converted to kinetic energy )

   So the above equation becomes

          mgH =  \frac{1}{2} m v^2

=>           v =  \sqrt{2 gH }

    substituting values

                v =  16.57 m/s

Applying the equation o motion

             v_f =  v  + 2 a s

Now the final velocity is zero because the person comes to rest

      So

         0 = 16.57 + 2 * a * 1.8

            a =  - \frac{16.57^2 }{2 * 1.8}

            a =  - 76.27 m/s^2
