Answer:

a = Δv/t = (vf - vi)/t = (0 - 5)/4 = -1.25 m/s²

Explanation:

You may or may not need the negative sign, depending on how the question designer was thinking about the problem.

Billy drops a water balloon from the roof of his house. Since the balloon began with an original velocity of zero how far above

VashaNatasha [74]

T=2,5s
a=g≈10m/s²

h=s=?

$s= \frac{1}{2} at^2 \Leftrightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}*10m/s^2 *(2,5s)^2=5m/s^2* \frac{25}{4} s^2=\boxed{31,25m}$

A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

a.14 s

b.70 s

Explanation:

a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.

Speed of sidewalk relative to ground= $v_s=1m/s$

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground

$v_w=v_s+v=1+1.5=2.5m/s$

Distance=35 m

Time= $\frac{distance}{speed}$

Using the formula

Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving= $\frac{35}{v_w}=\frac{35}{2.5}=14s$

b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)

Then, we take displacement negative.

Speed of sidewalk relative to ground= $v_s=1m/s$

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground= $v_w=v_s+v=1-1.5=-0.5m/s$

Time= $\frac{-35}{-0.5}=70 s$

Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.

The weight of an apple at 4r from earth is of that on earth

iris [78.8K]

W = m.g = weight
g = Gme/Re**2 where G= universal gravitational constant , Re= radius of the earth
me= mass of the earth
therefore it weighs 16 times less

Car X traveled 3d distance in t time. Car Y traveled 2d distance in t time. Therefore, the speed of car X, is 3d/t, the speed of car Y, is 2d/t. Since speed is the distance taken in a given time.

In figure-2, they are at the same place, we are asked to find car Y's position when car X is at line-A. We can calculate the time car X needs to travel to there. Let's say that car X reaches line-A in t' time.

$V_x .t' = 3d\\ \frac{3d}{t} .t' = 3d\\ t'=t$

Okay, it takes t time for car X to reach line-A. Let's see how far does car Y goes.

$V_y.t = \frac{2d}{t} .t = 2d$

We found that car Y travels 2d distance. So, when car X reaches line-A, car Y is just a d distance behind car X.

A muon is a short-lived particle. It is found experimentally that muonsmoving at speed 0.9ccan travel about 1500 meters between

Monica [59]

Answer:

a) $t=5.5\mu s$

b) $\Delta t'=12.5\mu s$

Explanation:

a) Let's use the constant velocity equation:

$v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

v is the speed of the muon. 0.9*c
c is the speed of light 3*10⁸ m/s

$t=\frac{\Delta x}{v}=\frac{1500}{0.9*(3*10^{8})}$

$t=5.5\mu s$

b) Here we need to use Lorentz factor because the speed of the muon is relativistic. Hence the time in the rest frame is the product of the Lorentz factor times the time in the inertial frame.

$\Delta t'=\gamma\Delta t$
