If there were no air resistance, a penny dropped from the top of a skyscraper would reach the ground 9.3 s later. To the nearest

integer, what would the penny's speed in m/s be right as it reaches the ground if it was dropped from rest?

Answer:

To the nearest integer, the penny's speed in m/s be right as it reaches the ground if it was dropped from rest = 91 m/s

Explanation:

We have equation of motion

S = ut + 0.5at²

Here u = 0, a = g  and t = 9.3 s

We have equation of motion v = u +at

Substituting

       v = u +at

       v = 0 + 9.8 x 9.3 = 91.14 m/s

To the nearest integer, the penny's speed in m/s be right as it reaches the ground if it was dropped from rest = 91 m/s

If you let a friend ride with you, increasing the mass does increase the net force on the system, but it also increases the inertia. a=Fnetm. Since both the net force and mass are increased they still cancel, leaving the acceleration the same.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Inertia is the tendancy of a moving object to keep moving in a straight line or of any object to resist a change in motion.

According to the picture below, we choose x-direction parallel to the inclined surface. Our positive direction is to the right. Hence, we will calculate the acceleration when riding solo first:

\Sigma F_x = mg sin \theta - F_k = m a_x\\mg sin \theta - F_k = m a_x\\a_x = \frac{mg sin \theta - F_k }{m} ... (1)\\

\Sigma F_y = F_n - mg cos \theta = m a_y = 0\\F_n = mg cos \theta\\F_k = \mu_k F_n\\F_k = \mu_k mg cos \theta\\

Put (2)  into  (1)  

a = \frac{m g sin \theta - \mu_k m g cos \theta}{m} \\a = g sin \theta - \mu_k g cos \theta

From the equation 3, we found that the acceleration does not depend on the mass of the object. Notice that:

g  is constant

\theta is constant,

\mu_k is constant

So that, a  is constant whatever the amount of the mass is

The acceleration of a particle as it moves along a straight line is given by a (2t 1) m/s2, where t is in seconds. Suppose that
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

 v = 158 m / s

Explanation:

In this kinematic problem they give us the acceleration of the body, the position and speed of the initial moment, let's use the definition of acceleration

       a = dv / dt

        dv = a dt

We integrate

        ∫ d v = ∫ (2t + 1) dt

        v = 2 (2t²) + 1t

We evaluate between the initial time t = 0 that has speed (vo) 8 m/s and the final time t with speed v

        v -8 = 4t2 + t

We already have the velocity formula as a function of time, let's calculate for t = 6 s

         v = 8 + 4 6² +6

         

         v = 158 m / s

bearhunter [10]
If a material blocks gamma radiation, then it will probably protect against alpha and beta radiation. Alpha particles are large and slow-moving, thus having very little penetrating power. Beta particles are fast-moving, and can penetrate the human flesh up to 1 or 2 centimeters. Gamma particles, however, have great penetration and can easily pass through the human flesh.
