Here's a formula for the distance an object falls from rest:

D = (1/2) A T² ... <== MEMORIZE THIS

Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time²)

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is always 9.8 m/s².  So for a fall that starts with zero speed, the formula says

70 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time²)

70 m = (4.9 m/s²) (time²)

Divide each side by  (4.9 m/s²) ;

time² = (70 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

time² = (70/4.9) sec²

time = √(70/4.9)  seconds

time = 3.78 seconds

Calculate the displacement of a motorcycle that accelerates forward from rest to 7.0 m/s in 3.5 s.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

12.25 meters

Explanation:

s=1/2(v+u)t

s= displacement

v= final velocity

u= initial velocity

t= time

7m/s+0m/s divide by 2= 3.5 m/s velocity  Times 3.5 seconds=  12.25 meters

A blue-green photon (λ = 488 nm ) is absorbed by a free hydrogen atom, initially at rest. What is the recoil speed of the hydrog
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The recoil speed is 2.207\times 10^{4} m/s

Solution:

Wavelength of a blue-green photon, \lambda_{BG} = 488 nm = 488\times 10^{- 9} m

Now, the energy associated with the blue-green photon:

E_{BG} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{BG}}

where

h = Planck's constant

C = speed of light ion vacuum

E_{BG} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{488\times 10^{- 9}}

E_{BG} = 4.07\times 10^{- 19} J

Also, we know that the recoil speed can be calculated by the KInetic energy which is equal to the Energy of the blue-green photon:

KE_{H} =\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{H}

where

v_{H} = velocity of Hydrogen atom

m_{p} = 1.67\times 10^{- 27} kg = mass of H-atom

Now,

KE_{H} =\frac{1}{2}m_{p}(v_{H})^{2}

4.07\times 10^{- 19} =\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (v_{H})^{2}

v_{H} = \sqrt(4.87\times 10^{8}) = 2.207\times 10^{4} m/s

A 50-kg man is driving his snowmobile at a constant speed. The engine applies a force of 360 N and the coefficient of kinetic fr
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

134 kg

Explanation:

The snowmobile is moving at constant speed, so the acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F − 360 = 0

F = 360

Friction force equals the normal force times the coefficient of friction:

Nμ = 360

On level ground, the normal force equals the combined weight:

(m + 50)g μ = 360

m + 50 = 360 / (gμ)

m = -50 + 360 / (gμ)

m = -50 + 360 / (9.8 × 0.2)

m ≈ 134 kg

Round as needed.
