A car moves with a speed 72km/h, the driver uses the brakes, the car stops after 8 seconds, calculate its speed after 10 seconds
vampirchik [111]
The acceleration of the car is solved by subtracting the initial speed from the final speed then dividing the result by the elapsed time.

initial speed = 72 km/hr = 20 m/s

final speed = 0 m/s

elapsed time = 5 seconds

acceleration = (0 m/s – 20 m/s) / 5 s

acceleration = - 20m/s / 5 s

acceleration = -4 m/s^2

A 1.5 kg cart is attached to a spring with spring constant of 5 N/m. The cart & spring is pulled to stretch the spring by 3
vaieri [72.5K]

22.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

x = 3 m

k = 5\:\text{N/m}

The spring potential energy PE_s is

PE_s = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(5\:\text{N/m})(3\:\text{m})^2

Two forces of 83 pounds and 56 pounds act simultaneously on an object. The resultant forms an angle of 52° with the 56-pound for
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

95.9°

Explanation:

The diagram illustrating the action of the two forces on the object is given in the attached photo.

Using sine rule a/SineA = b/SineB, we can obtain the value of B° as shown in the attached photo as follow:

a/SineA = b/SineB,

83/Sine52 = 56/SineB

Cross multiply to express in linear form

83 x SineB = 56 x Sine52

Divide both side by 83

SineB = (56 x Sine52)/83

SineB = 0.5317

B = Sine^-1(0.5317)

B = 32.1°

Now, we can obtain the angle θ, between the two forces as shown in the attached photo as follow:

52° + B° + θ = 180° ( sum of angles in a triangle)

52° + 32.1° + θ = 180°

Collect like terms

θ = 180° - 52° - 32.1°

θ = 95.9°

Therefore, the angle between the two forces is 95.9°

What is the momentum of a 200 kg football player running west at a speed of 8m/s
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1600 kgm/s</h3>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>momentum = mass × velocity</h3>

From the question

mass = 200 kg

velocity / speed = 8m/s

We have

momentum = 200 × 8

We have the final answer as

<h3>1600 kgm/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
