Answer:

a) 2·√10 seconds

b) Linda should be approximately 30.6 meters

c) Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark is approximately 6.325 m/s

Explanation:

The speed with which Linda is running = 8.6 m/s

The point Jenny starts = The 80-m mark

The acceleration of Jenny = 1.0 m/s²

a) The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark, <em>t</em>, is given as follows

Δs = u·t + (1/2)·a·t²

Δs = Distance = 100-m - 80-m = 20-m

u = The initial velocity of Jenny = 0

a = Jenny's acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

∴ 20 = 0×t + (1/2) × 1 × t² = t²/2

20 = t²/2

t = √(20 × 2) = 2·√10

The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark = 2·√10 seconds

b) The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds, d = v × t

Given that Linda's velocity, v = 8.6 m/s, we have;

d = 8.0 × 2·√10 = 16·√10

The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds = 16·√10 meters ≈ 50.6 meters

Therefore, Linda should be approximately (50.6 - 20) meters = 30.6 meters behind Jenny when Jenny starts running

c) Jenny's speed at the 100 m mark is given as follows;

v = u + a·t

t = 2·√10 seconds, a = 1.0 m/s², u = 0

∴ v = 0×t + 1.0×2·√10 = 2·√10 ≈ 6.325

Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark ≈ 6.325 m/s

Select all that apply.

GenaCL600 [577]

The correct answer to the question is: A) miles/hour and B) metre/ second.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand speed.

The speed of a body is defined as the rate of distance travelled or the distance travelled by a body per unit time.

Hence, it is a derived quantity which is obtained from distance and time.

The unit of distance can be metre, miles, and the unit of time can be second, minutes or hour.

As speed is the distance covered per unit time, the perfect units will be miles/hour and metre/second.

Hence, the correct options are first and second.

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh

DiKsa [7]

Answer:(a)360N,(b)171N,(c)2.702m

Explanation:

(a)Maximum Friction Force = $\mu \left ( N\right )=0.4\times \left ( 740+160\right )$

=360 N

$cos\theta =\frac{3}{5}$

$sin\theta =\frac{4}{5}$

(b)Moment about Ground Point

$740\times 1\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta$

$N_1tan\theta =1140$

$N_1=171 N$

$N_1=f=171 N$

(c)

$740\times x\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta$

Here maximum friction force can be 360 N

Therefore $N_1=360 N$

Where x is the maximum distance moved by man along the ladder

$360\times 5\times \frac{4}{3}=740x+160\times 2.5$

740x=2000

x=2.702m

A horse of mass 242 kg pulls a cart of mass 224 kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the largest acceleration

Rufina [12.5K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second Law and the force of friction. According to Newton, the Force is defined as

F = ma

Where,

m= Mass

a = Acceleration

At the same time the frictional force can be defined as,

$F_f = \mu N$

Where,

$\mu =$ Frictional coefficient

N = Normal force (mass*gravity)

Our values are given as,

$m_h = 242 kg\\m_c = 224 kg\\\mu = 0.894\\$

By condition of Balance the friction force must be equal to the total net force, that is to say

$F_{net} = F_f$

$m_{total}a = \mu m_hg$

$(m_h+m_c)a = \mu*m_h*g$

Re-arrange to find acceleration,

$a= \frac{\mu*m_h*g}{(m_h+m_c)}$

$a = \frac{0.894*242*9.8}{(242+224)}$

$a = 4.54 m/s^2$

Therefore the acceleration the horse can give is $4.54m/s^2$
