Given that,

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 39.2 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

To find,

The final velocity of the shot.

Solution,

Let v is the final velocity of sling shot. Using first equation of motion to find it.

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u-gt

v = (39.2)-(9.8)(2)

v = 19.6 m/s

So, its velocity after 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s.

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to 9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Where:

m=mass\\v=velocity

Have a nice day!

A train accelerates to a velocity of 500 m/s over time of 2s. The acceleration it experienced was 50m/s2. What was its initial v
ValentinkaMS [17]

Explanation:

We know ,

  • v = u + at
  • u = v - at
  • u = 500 - 2*50
  • u = 400 m/s

Lucia kicks a ball on a level playing field with an initial velocity of 11.3 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. Find:
grandymaker [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 11.3 m/s

Angle above the horizontal, \theta=35^{\circ}

Time of flight :

t=\dfrac{2u\sin\theta}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{2\times 11.3\times \sin(35)}{9.8}\\\\t=1.32\ s

Horizontal distance traveled  is given by :

x = ut

x = 11.3 m/s × 1.32 s

x = 14.916 m

Maximum height is given by :

H=\dfrac{u^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}\\\\H=\dfrac{(11.3)^2\times \sin^2(35)}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=2.14\ m

Hence, time of flight is 1.32 s, horizontal distance is 14.916 m and maximum height is 2.14 m.

Why are peer reviews important?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Peer reviews are important because individuals with similar background knowledge are used to review work to detect inaccuracies or deficiencies in the work.

Explanation:

Those individuals with similar educational and work background knowledge can more accurately review work since they have the required knowledge base for the subject.
