Answer:

Distance = velocity x time, so 10 m/s X 10 s = 100 m

Explanation:

If you accelerate at 2 m/s^2 for 10 seconds, at the end of the 10 seconds you are moving at a rate of 20 m/s.

V(f) = V(i) + a*t

Final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration x time

Your average velocity will be half of your final, because you accelerated at a constant rate. So your average velocity is 10 m/s.

Distance = velocity x time, so 10 m/s X 10 s = 100 m

Answer:

100 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Acceleration ( a ) = 2 m/s^2

Time ( t ) = 10 sec s

To find : Displacement ( s ) = ?

By 2nd equation of motion,

s = ut + at^2 / 2

= ( 0 ) ( 10 ) + ( 2 ) ( 10 )^2 / 2

= 0 + ( 2 ) ( 100 ) / 2

= 200 / 2

s = 100 m

A package is dropped from an air balloon two times. In the first trial the distance between the balloon and the surface is Hand

enyata [817]

Answer:

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

If an object is dropped in the air, it starts a vertical movement with an acceleration equal to g=9.8 m/s^2. The speed of the object after a time t is:

$v=gt$

And the distance traveled downwards is:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

If we know the height at which the object was dropped, we can calculate the time it takes to reach the ground by solving the last equation for t:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Replacing into the first equation:

$\displaystyle v=g\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Rationalizing:

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{2gy}$

Let's call v1 the final speed of the package dropped from a height H. Thus:

$\displaystyle v_1=\sqrt{2gH}$

Let v2 be the final speed of the package dropped from a height 4H. Thus:

$\displaystyle v_2=\sqrt{2g(4H)}$

Taking out the square root of 4:

$\displaystyle v_2=2\sqrt{2gH}$

Dividing v2/v1 we can compare the final speeds:

$\displaystyle v_2/v_1=\frac{2\sqrt{2gH}}{\sqrt{2gH}}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle v_2/v_1=2$

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.

8. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott

nasty-shy [4]

Answer: The ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.

Explanation:

To calculate the speed of ball after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is given by:

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

where,

$m_1,u_1\text{ and }v_1$ are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of ball.

$m_2,u_2\text{ and }v_2$ are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of bottle.

We are given:

$m_1=0.4kg\\u_1=18m/s\\v_1=?m/s\\m_2=0.2kg\\u_2=0m/s\\v_2=25m/s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$(0.4\times 18)+(0.2\times 0)=(0.4\times v_1)+(0.2\times 25)\\\\v_1=5.5m/s$

Hence, the ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.

Jackson throws a football 30 meters at a speed of 15 m/s. How long was the football in the air before Laurence caught it for tou

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance = 30m

Speed = 15m/s

Unknown:

Time before Laurence caught it = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

Speed = $\frac{disance }{time}$

Time taken = $\frac{distance }{speed }$ = $\frac{30}{15}$ = 2s

The time it takes is 2s

A wave traveling in water has a frequency of 250 Hz and a wavelength of 6.0m. What is the speed of the wave?

vladimir2022 [97]

Since you are looking for the speed, you need to rearrange the formula which is f = speed / wavelength. That should give you speed = f (wavelength.) All you need to do next is to substitute the value to the following equation. speed = 250 Hz (6.0m) that should leave you with 1500 m/s which is very fast.
