Using the 2nd equation of motion;

= s = ut + ½at²

= 40 = u×2 + ½ × 6 × 2²

= 40 = 2u + 3 × 4

= 40 - 12 = 2u

= 28/2 = u

= 14 m/s = u

And its done! Simple isn't? :P

lina2011 [118]
In a projectile, the horizontal acceleration is zero. The velocity remains constant at all times. However, the <u>vertical acceleration</u> is -9.81m/s^2.

Hope this helps!

The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular velocity of 190 rev/min. When steam is shut off, the friction of the
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

(a) \alpha = - 1.32\ rev/m^{2}

(b) \theta = 13674\ rev

(c) \alpha_{tan} = 8.75\times 10^{- 4}\ m/s^{2}

(d) a = 22.458\ m/s^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Angular velocity, \omega = 190\ rev/min

Time taken by the wheel to stop, t = 2.4 h = 2.4\times 60 = 144\ min

Distance from the axis, R = 38 cm = 0.38 m

Now,

(a) To calculate the constant angular velocity, suing Kinematic eqn for rotational motion:

\omega' = \omega + \alpha t

omega' = final angular velocity

\omega = initial angular velocity

\alpha = angular acceleration

Now,

0 = 190 + \alpha \times 144

\alpha = - 1.32\ rev/m^{2}

Now,

(b) The no. of revolutions is given by:

\omega'^{2} = \omega^{2} + 2\alpha \theta

0 = 190^{2} + 2\times (- 1.32) \theta

\theta = 13674\ rev

(c) Tangential component does not depend on instantaneous angular velocity but depends on radius and angular acceleration:

\alpha_{tan} = 0.38\times 1.32\times \frac{2\pi}{3600} = 8.75\times 10^{- 4}\ m/s^{2}

(d) The radial acceleration is given by:

\alpha_{R} = R\omega^{2} = 0.32(80\times \frac{2\pi}{60})^{2} = 22.45\ rad/s

Linear acceleration is given by:

a = \sqrt{\alpha_{R}^{2} + \alpha_{tan}^{2}}

a = \sqrt{22.45^{2} + (8.75\times 10^{- 4})^{2}} = 22.458\ m/s^{2}

If a ski lift raises 150 passengers averaging 590 N in weight to a height of 244 m in 96.3 s, at constant speed, what average po
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

224236.76 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate of change of energy. The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

From the question,

P = E/t ......................... Equation 1

Where P = power, E = Energy or work, t = time.

But,

E = Wt×d.................. Equation 2

Where Wt = Total weight of the passengers, d = distance.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = (Wt×d)/t.............. Equation 3

Given: Wt = 590×150 =88500 N, d = 244 m, t = 96.3 s.

Substitute into equation 3

P = (88500×244)/96.3

P = 224236.76 W

a cheetah starting from rest accelerates at a rate of 2.5m/s^2 to reach a speed of 45 m/s.how fare does the cheetah travel
Helen [10]

Answer:

405 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 2.5 m/s²

v = 45 m/s

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(45 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (2.5 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 405 m
