Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

a sprinter with a mass of 80kg accelerates uniformly from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. a.)what is the runners acceleration? b.) what i
Katyanochek1 [597]
Part A: 
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the difference of the initial and final velocities by the given time. That is,
             a = (Vf - Vi) / t
where a is acceleration,
Vf is final velocity,
Vi is initial velocity, and
t is time

Substituting,
            a = (9 m/s - 0 m/s) / 3 s = 3 m/s²
<em>ANSWER: 3 m/s²</em>

Part B: 
From Newton's second law of motion, the net force is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration,
               F = m x a
where F is force,
m is mass, and 
a is acceleration

Substituting,
              F = (80 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 240 kg m/s² = 240 N

<em>ANSWER: 240 N </em>

Part C: 
The distance that the sprinter travel is calculated through the equation,
         d = V₀t + 0.5at²

Substituting,
            d = (0 m/s)(3 s) + 0.5(3 m/s²)(3 s)²
             d = 13.5 m

<em>ANSWER: d = 13.5 m</em>

A spinning top spinning at 16rad/s takes 88.9s to come to a complete stop. Find the angular acceleration of the top.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the top is 0.18 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given;

angular velocity of the top, ω = 16 rad/s

time it takes to come to a complete stop, t = 88.9s

The angular acceleration of the top, is calculated as;

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}

α is the angular acceleration

ω is angular acceleration

t is the time

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}\\\\\alpha = \frac{16}{88.9}\\\\\alpha =0.18 \ rad/s^2

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the top is 0.18 rad/s²

Consider a very low (zero) friction, 5.0 kg skateboard on a ramp at an angle of 15 degrees to the horizontal. What would be the
malfutka [58]
You need to use trigonometry to work this one out. The components of the force are needed. it is a vector, so work out the unbalanced force using trig. you know that the force pulling the 5kg skateboard down is going to be 9.8 * 5 = 49N. As you have the angle it is on, and 49 is the vertical component, you can use Sin(X) = Op/Hyp where x= 15 degress, the opposite is the vertical component (49N) and the hyp is the unbalanced force - which is 79.35. I think. Somebody plz double check me on that one though :P

Veseljchak [2.6K]
Given:
F = ax
where
x = distance by which the rubber band is stretched
a =  constant

The work done in stretching the rubber band from x = 0 to x = L is
W=\int_{0}^{L} Fdx = \int_{0}^{L}ax \, dx = \frac{a}{2}  [x^{2} ]_{0}^{L} =  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

Answer:  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}
