Answer:

  • 27.6 m
  • 13.8 m/s

Explanation:

(b) The initial velocity is added to that due to acceleration by gravity. The velocity is increased linearly by gravity at the rate of 9.8 m/s². The average velocity of the pebble will be its velocity halfway through the 2-second time period.* That is, it will be ...

  4 m/s + (9.8 m/s²)(2 s)/2 = 13.8 m/s . . . . average velocity

__

(a) The distance covered in 2 seconds at an average velocity of 13.8 m/s is ...

  d = vt

  d = (13.8 m/s)(2 s) = 27.6 m

The water is about 27.6 m below ground.

_____

* We have chosen to make use of the fact that the velocity curve is linear, so the average velocity is half the sum of initial and final velocities:

  vAvg = (vInit + vFinal)/2 = (vInit + (vInit +at))/2 = vInit +at/2

__

If you work this in a straightforward way, you would find distance as the integral of velocity, then find average velocity from the distance and time.

  \displaystyle d=\int_0^t{(v_0+at)}\,dt=v_0t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=t\left(v_0+a\dfrac{t}{2}\right)\\\\v_{avg}=\dfrac{d}{t}=v_0+a\dfrac{t}{2}\qquad\text{the formula we started with}

anzhelika [568]
A number might be rounded when determining the number of people who will attend a basketball game. A number should not be rounded when determining the number of students who will participate in a chemistry lab. Only an estimate is needed for attendance at a basketball game because everyone will still get to see the game. In a chemistry lab the correct number of students should be known so that everybody has the proper equipment to use.

An elevator cab and its load have a combined mass of 1600 kg. Find the tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally
amid [387]

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab originally moves downward is 18422.4 N

What is tension?

Tension is described as the pulling force by the means of a three-dimensional object.

Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.

Here,

m =combined mass = 1600 kg

s = Displacement of the elevator = 42 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 12 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

According to the equation of motion:

v^{2} - u^{2} = 2as

0 - 12^2 = 2*a*42

a = - 144 / 84

a = - 1.714 m/s^2

Now let's write the equation of the forces acting on the elevator. Taking upward as positive direction:

T-mg = ma

T = m(g-a)

T = 1600 ( 9.8-(-1.74))

T=18422.4 N

Hence,

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally moving downward is 18422.4 N
