If you're willing to consider fractions or decimals,
then there are an infinite number of answers.
Like (2.5 x 160), and (15 x 26-2/3).
If you want to stick to only whole numbers,
then these 8 combinations do:
1, 400
2, 200
4, 100
5, 80
8, 50
10, 40
16, 25
20, 20
= Joules ÷ (0.5×Kilograms)
14J ÷ 8.5 = 1.64705882
Remember, 1.64705882 = v², so we need to find the square root.
The square root of 1.64705882 is 1.283377894464448
Hope this helps!
The answer is letter B. XD
<span>You want to focus on the car's acceleration.
(Hope this helps you! :) Have a nice day!)</span>
I don't think that 4m has anything to do with the problem.
anyway. here.
A___________________B_______C
where A is the point that the train was released.
B is where the wheel started to stick
C is where it stopped
From A to B, v=2.5m/s, it takes 2s to go A to B so t=2
AB= v*t = 2.5 * 2 = 5m
The train comes to a stop 7.7 m from the point at which it was released so AC=7.7m
then BC= AC-AB = 7.7-5 = 2.7m
now consider BC
v^2=u^2+2as
where u is initial speed, in this case is 2.5m/s
v is final speed, train stop at C so final speed=0, so v=0
a is acceleration
s is displacement, which is BC=2.7m
substitute all the number into equation, we have
0^2 = 2.5^2 + 2*a*2.7
0 = 6.25 + 5.4a
a = -6.25/5.4 = -1.157
so acceleration is -1.157m/(s^2)
