Answer:

3.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 1000 m

v₀ = 23 m/s

a = -0.26 m/s²

t = 76 s

Find: v

This problem is over-defined.  We only need 3 pieces of information, and we're given 4.  There are several equations we can use.  For example:

v = at + v₀

v = (-0.26 m/s²) (76 s) + (23 m/s)

v = 3.2 m/s

Or:

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

(1000 m) = ½ (v + 23 m/s) (76 s)

v = 3.3 m/s

Or:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (23 m/s)² + 2(-0.26 m/s²)(1000 m)

v = 3.0 m/s

Or:

Δx = vt − ½ at²

(1000 m) = v (76 s) − ½ (-0.26 m/s²) (76 s)²

v = 3.3 m/s

As you can see, you get slightly different answers depending on which variables you use.  Since 1000 m has 1 significant figure, compared to the other variables which have 2 significant figures, I recommend using the first equation.

An object ends up at a final position of x=-55.25 meters after a displacement of -189.34 meters after a displacement of -189.34
Travka [436]

The initial position of the object was found to be 134.09 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As displacement is the measure of difference between the final and initial points. In other words, we can say that displacement can be termed as the change in the position of the object irrespective of the path followed by the object to change the path. So

Displacement = Final position - Initial position.

As the final position is stated as -55.25 meters and the displacement is also stated as -189.34 meters. So the initial position will be

Initial position of the object = Final position-Displacement

Initial position = -55.25 m - (-189.34 m) = -55.25 m + 189.34 m = 134.09 m.

Thus, the initial position for the object having a displacement of -189.34 m is determined as 134.09 m.

A ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere are all released from rest from the same height on an inclined surface, at the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²
  • where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.
  • The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh
  • The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.
  • The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2
  • Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.

2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;

I = mR²

The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.
