A skateboarder travels on a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 3.6 m/s toward the south and a constant acceleration

of 1.8 m/s^2 toward the east. Let the x direction be eastward and the y direction be northward, and let the skateboarder be at the origin at t=0.
a. What is her x position at t=0.60s?
b. What is her y position at t=0.60s?

Answer:

a) The x-position of the skateboarder is 0.324 meters.

b) The y-position of the skateboarder is -2.16 meters.

c) The x-velocity of the skateboard is 1.08 meters per second.

d) The y-velocity of the skateboard is -3.6 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) The x-position of the skateboarder is determined by the following expression:

x(t) = x_{o} + v_{o,x}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot a_{x} \cdot t^{2} (1)

Where:

x_{o} - Initial x-position, in meters.

v_{o,x} - Initial x-velocity, in meters per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

a_{x} - x-acceleration, in meters per second.

If we know that x_{o} = 0\,m, v_{o,x} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, t = 0.60\,s and a_{x} = 1.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the x-position of the skateboarder is:

x(t) = 0\,m + \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (0.60\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(1.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (0.60\,s)^{2}

x(t) = 0.324\,m

The x-position of the skateboarder is 0.324 meters.

b) The y-position of the skateboarder is determined by the following expression:

y(t) = y_{o} + v_{o,y}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot a_{y} \cdot t^{2} (2)

Where:

y_{o} - Initial y-position, in meters.

v_{o,y} - Initial y-velocity, in meters per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

a_{y} - y-acceleration, in meters per second.

If we know that y_{o} = 0\,m, v_{o,y} = -3.6\,\frac{m}{s}, t = 0.60\,s and a_{y} = 0\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the x-position of the skateboarder is:

y(t) = 0\,m + \left(-3.6\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (0.60\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (0.60\,s)^{2}

y(t) = -2.16\,m

The y-position of the skateboarder is -2.16 meters.

c) The x-velocity of the skateboarder (v_{x}), in meters per second, is calculated by this kinematic formula:

v_{x}(t) = v_{o,x} + a_{x}\cdot t (3)

If we know that v_{o,x} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, t = 0.60\,s and a_{x} = 1.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the x-velocity of the skateboarder is:

v_{x}(t) = \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right) + \left(1.8\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (0.60\,s)

v_{x}(t) = 1.08\,\frac{m}{s}

The x-velocity of the skateboard is 1.08 meters per second.

d) As the skateboarder has a constant y-velocity, then we have the following answer:

v_{y} = -3.6\,\frac{m}{s}

The y-velocity of the skateboard is -3.6 meters per second.

On Planet Y, which has no air, a dropped object falls 9 m in 3 seconds. What is g, the acceleration due to gravity, on that plan
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

Explanation:

Recall the kinematic formula for displacement under the action of a constant acceleration "a":

yf - yi = 1/2 a  t^2

using the information provided this equation becomes:

9 = 1/2 a (3)^2

solve for a:

9 * 2 / 9 = a

then a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

Why is a warm, tropical cumulus cloud more likely to produce precipitation than a cold, stratus cloud?
Lelu [443]

Explanation:

Warm,tropical cumulus cloud more likely to produce precipitation because they have high liquid content, strong and consistent updraft, these clouds are very thick. Moreover, they have large range of cloud droplet sizes. Whereas, stratus cloud have somewhat opposite characteristics, hence tropical cumulus clouds produce more precipitate.
