A worker on the roof of a house drops his 0.46 kg hammer, which slides down the roof at constant speed of 9.88 m/s. The roof mak

Answer:

The horizontal distance travelled in that time lapse is 12.94 m

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we'll need:

The horizontal speed
the time the hammer takes to fall from the roof to the ground

At the lowest point of the roof, the hammer has a 9.88 m/s speed that makes an angle of 27° with the horizontal, so we can calculate the horizontal and vertical speed with trigonometry. If we take right as x positive and down as y positive we get

$v_{x}=v*cos(27)=9.88 m/s *cos(27)=8.80 m/s \\v_{y}=v*sen(27)=9.88 m/s *sen(27)=4.49 m/s$

Now, we make two movement equation as we have a URM (no acceleration) in x and an ARM (gravity as acceleration) in y. We will wisely pick the lowest point of the roof as the origin of coordinates

$x(t)=8.8 m/s *t$

$y(t)=4.49m/s*t+\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}$

Now we calculate the time the hammer takes to get to the floor

$17.1m=4.49m/s*t+\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}\\t=1.47s$ or $t=-2.38s$

Now, we keep the positive time result and calculate the horizontal distance travelled

$x(1.47s)=8.8m/s*1.47s=12.94m$

A sprinter starts from rest and reaches a speed of 15 m/s in 4.25 s. Find his acceleration

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a=3.53 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vo=0 m/s (because he is not moving at the start)

V1=15 m/s

t= 4.25 s

a = (V1-Vo) / t = 15/4.25 = 3.53 m/s^2

The Lamborghini Huracan has an initial acceleration of 0.75g. Its mass, with a driver, is 1510 kg.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

11109.825 N

Explanation:

Given Data:

total mass =m=1510 kg

initial acceleration (a) =0.75g ( g=9.81 m/s² )

F=ma

= (1510)*( 0.75*9.81)

= 11109.825 N

What is a major contributor of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a. burning of fossil fuel

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun infrared rays in the outermost layer of the earths atmosphere due to the accumulation of some harmful gasses. This gases depletes the ozone layer

The major contributor of greenhouse gases is the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxides are released into the atmosphere and leads to global warming and climatic changes per time
