Answer:

a = 0.3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given: 45 N, 150 kg

To find: a

Formula: $a = \frac{F}{m}$

Solution: To find a, divide the force by the weight

A = F ÷ m

= 45 ÷ 150

= 0.3 m/s²

Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.

A ball rolls off the top of the roof of a building that is 13 meters tall. Calculate the amount of time it takes for it to hit t

kramer

Answer:

The ball takes $t=1 \cdot 917sec$ to hit the ground.

Explanation:

• The second equation of motion represents the total distances travelled by an object in a time interval of $\Delta t$ with an initial speed of $u$ and acceleration $a$ .

• To find the time, ball takes to hit the ground, use the formula: $s = ut + \frac{1}{2}a{t^2}$

Where, $t$ is time, $u$ is initial velocity, $a$ is acceleration and $s$ is displacement.

• In this case, $a = g = 9 \cdot 8m/se{c^2}$ .

• Placing the value of the given initial velocity, $u=0cm/s$ and displacement, $s = 13m$ in the above formula.

$& \therefore s = ut + \frac{1}{2}g{t^2} \\& \Rightarrow 13 = 0 \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \cdot 8 \times {t^2} \\$

$& \Rightarrow 13 = 4 \cdot 9{t^2} \\& \Rightarrow {t^2} = \frac{{13}}{{4.9}} \\& \Rightarrow t = 1 \cdot 917sec \\\end{align}\]$

• Hence, ball takes $t=1 \cdot 917sec$ to hit the ground.

A ginástica rítmica no Brasil começou a ser praticada na década de 1960. Teve várias denominações, entre elas foi chamada de ginástica moderna e ginástica rítmica moderna e, sendo praticada essencialmente por mulheres, passou a ser chamada de ginástica feminina moderna. Depois, por decisão da Federação Internacional de Ginástica, passou à denominação de ginástica rítmica desportiva e, finalmente, ginástica rítmica.
