Answer:

vi = 14.610

Explanation:

initial velocity of the first object (vi) = 0 m/s, because it was dropped

distance (y) = -20 m

initial position (y0) = 0 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s^2

y = 1/2 gt^2 + vi*t + y0

-20 = 1/2(-9.8)t^2 + 0 + 0

-20 = -4.9t^2

4.081 = t^2

+√4.081 = t

t = 2.020

time of second object = 2.020 - 1 = 1.020

Now we can plug in the new time to solve for vi of the second object.

y = 1/2 gt^2 + vi*t + y0

-20 = 1/2(-9.8)1.020^2 + vi*1.020 + 0

-20 = -5.098 + 1.020vi

14.902 = 1.020vi

vi = 14.610 m/s

Spiderman, whose mass is 74.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 11.0-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree l
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

W = -1844.513 J

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

mass of spider man is m  74 kg

vertical displacement if spider is 11 m

final displacement  =  11 cos 60.6 =  - 6.753 m

change in displacement is  = -6.753 - (-11) = 4.25 m

gravity force act on spiderman is f = mg = 74 × 9.8 = 725.2 N

work done by gravity is W = F \delta r cos\theta

W = 725.2 \times 4.25 \times cos 180

where 180 is the angle between spiderman weight and displacement

W = -1844.513 J

erica [24]

Answer:

1.52g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 125N

Mass combined  = 82kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of the bicycle  = ?

Solution:

From Newton second law of motion suggests that:

   Force = mass x acceleration

  Acceleration = \frac{force}{mass}  = \frac{125}{82}   = 1.52g
