Answer:

0.62\:\mathrm{s}

Explanation:

Since the universal SI unit for velocity is meters/second, let's convert ft/s to m/s:

10\:\mathrm{ft/s}=3.048\:\mathrm{m/s}

We can use the following kinematics equation to solve this question:

v_f=v_i+at

What we know:

  • The initial velocity, v_i, is 3.048\:\mathrm{m/s}
  • (physics concept) The final velocity must be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the initial velocity (v_f=-3.048\:\mathrm{m/s})
  • Acceleration, a, is acceleration due to gravity at about 9.8\:\mathrm{m/s}

Solving for t:

-3.048=3.048+(-9.8t),\\-6.096=-9.8t,\\t=\frac{-6.096}{-9.8}\approx \boxed{0.62\:\mathrm{s}}

A cyclist turns a corner with a radius of 50m at a speed of 10m/s. What is the cyclist's acceleration?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

2 m/s^2

Explanation:

a = v^2/r

a = (10m/s)^2 / 50m

a = 2 m/s^2

A ride-sharing car moving along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time taken to accelerate to 28 m /s

= 28 / 2 = 14 s

a ) Total length of time in motion

= 14 + 41 + 5

= 60 s .

b )

Distance covered while accelerating

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 14²

= 196 m .

Distance covered while moving in uniform motion

= 28 x 41

= 1148 m

distance covered while decelerating

v = u - at

0 = 28 - a x 5

a = 5.6 m / s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = 28² - 2 x 5.6 x s

s = 28² / 2 x 5.6

= 70 m .

Total distance covered

= 196 + 1148 + 70

= 1414 m

total time taken = 60 s

average velocity

= 1414 / 60

= 23.56 m /s .

A fishing boat accidentally spills 3.0 barrels of diesel oil into the ocean. each barrel contains 42 gallons. if the oil film on
9966 [12]

Number of barrels are 3.0. Each barrel contains 42 gallons of oil. Thus, total volume of oil will be 42×3=126 gallons.

Converting gallons into m^{3}

1 gallon=0.00378 m^{3}

Thus, 126 gallons=0.4769 m^{3}

Thickness of oil film is 2.5\times 10^{2} nm, converting it into meters as follows:

1 nm=10^{-9} m

Thus,

2.5\times 10^{2} nm=1.5\times 10^{-7}m

Now, volume V of oil is related to area A and thickness T as follows:

V=A×T

rearranging,

A=\frac{V}{T}=\frac{0.4769 m^{3}}{2\times 10^{-7}m}=2.38\times 10^{6}m^{2}

Thus, square meters of oil will be 2.38\times 10^{6}m^{2}
