Answer:

19.2m/s

Explanation:

Assuming that 2.4m/s^2 was the acceleration and not a typo, we can use the equation v=at, where v=velocity, a=acceleration, and t=time,

plug in known varibles,

v=2.4*8

v=19.2m/s

A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

$u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s$

$v=46.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=12.8 m/s$

Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v = 12.8 m/s is the speed

r = 140 m is the radius of the curve

Substituting values, we find

$a_c=\frac{(12.8 m/s)^2}{140 m}=1.17 m/s^2$

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

$a_t = \frac{v-u}{t}$

where

t = 17.0 s

Substituting values,

$a_t=\frac{12.8 m/s-26.1 m/s}{17.0 s}=-0.78 m/s^2$

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

$a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\sqrt{(1.17 m/s^2)+(-0.78 m/s^2)}=1.41 m/s^2$

A bullet is fired through a wooden board with a thickness of 9.0 cm. The bullet hits the board perpendicular to it, and with a s

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

-387883.3 m/s²

0.000286168546055 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 370 m/s

v = Final velocity = 259 m/s

s = Displacement = 9 cm

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{259^2-370^2}{2\times 9\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow a=-387883.3\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the bullet is -387883.3 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{259-370}{-387883.3}\\\Rightarrow t=0.000286168546055\ s$

The time taken is 0.000286168546055 seconds
