A car slows down from speed of 72

Physics

5 0

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 72km/hr

Final velocity = 0km/hr

Time taken = 25s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;

1000m = 1km

3600s = 1hr

72km/hr;

1km/hr = 0.278m/s

72km/hr = 0.278 x 72 = 20.02m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;

Acceleration = $\frac{final velocity - initial velocity }{time}$

Acceleration = $\frac{0 - 20.02}{25}$ = -0.8m/s

The car is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s

The 26-kg sphere c is released from rest when θ = 0∘ and the tension in the spring is f = 100 n

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

You are given the mass of a sphere that is 26 kg sphere and it is released from rest when θ = 0°. You are also given the force of the spring that is F = 100 N. You are asked to find the tension of the spring. Imagine that the sphere is connected to a spring. The spring exerts a tension and the spring exerts gravitational pull. This will follow the second law of newton.

T - F = ma
T = ma + F
T = 26kg (9.81m/s²) + 100 N
T = 355.06 N

Two ice skaters, each with a mass of 72.0 kg, are skating at 5.45 m/s when they collide and stick together. If the angle between

Rudiy27

Answer:

The skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to go back to the theory of conservation of momentum, specifically in relation to the collision of bodies. In this case both have different addresses, consideration that will be understood later.

By definition it is known that the conservation of the moment is given by:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f$

Our values are given by,

$m_1=m_2=72Kg$

As the skater 1 run in x direction, there is not component in Y direction. Then,

Skate 1:

$v_{x1}=5.45m/s$

$v_{y1}=0$

Skate 2:

$v_{x2} = 5.45*cos105= -1.41m/s$

$v_{y2} = 5.45*sin105 = 5.26m/s$

Then, if we applying the formula in X direction:

m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fx}

75*5.45-75*1.41=(75+75)v_{fx}

Re-arrange and solving for v_{fx}

v_{fx}=\frac{4.04}{2}

v_{fx}=2.02m/s

Now applying the formula in Y direction:

$m_1v_{y1}+m_2v_{y2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fy}$

$0+75*5.25=(75+75)v_{fy}$

$v_{fy}=\frac{5.25}{2}$

$v_{fy}=2.63m/s$

Therefore the skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.

You are playing a game called "Will It Float?" In this game, you are given a large, square can of tuna. If you know the density

Delicious77 [7]

The only information you would need to decide if the can will float is the density of the can, which requires knowing the mass and volume. If the density of the can is less than one, the can will float. if it is greater than one, it will not float, as water's density is one.

A baby stroller is a rest on top of a hill which is 10 m high. The stroller and baby have a mass of 20 kg. What is the potential

Anettt [7]

The potential energy is defined as the energy is contained in the body due to the height over the surface of the earth and it is calculated from the equation

$PE=mgh$

<em>where:</em>

PE: the potential energy in Joules.
m: the mass of the body in kg.
g: the acceleration due to the gravity in m/ $s^2$
h: the height of the body over the earth in meters.

<em>in our problem:</em>

$PE=20*9.8*10=1960 J$
