- With the device starting from a still position (0 m/s), you drop it, allowing gravity to accelerate it towards the ground at 9

.8 m/s2. Assuming it takes 1.5 seconds for the device to hit the ground, what is it’s velocity? [V = a*t]

Starting velocity (u)=0
acceleration (a) = 9.8
time (t) = 1.5
final velocity (v) =?

v=at+u
v=9.8(1.5)+0
v=14.7m/s2

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}$

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

$t=\frac{d}{s}$

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

$d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s$

$t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}$

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

$t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}$

$t=3.6 \ s$

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.

A 85 kg lineman tackles a 90 kg receiver. The receiver is running 5.8 m/s, and the lineman is moving 4.1 m/s, at a right angle t

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

3.59 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of lineman,m=85 kg

Mass of receiver,m'=90 kg

Speed of receiver,v'=5.8 m/s

Speed of lineman,v=4.1 m/s

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

We have to find the their velocity immediately after the tackle.

Initial momentum, $P_i=\sqrt{p^2_1+p^2_2}=\sqrt{(85\times 4.1)^2+(90\times 5.8)^2}=627.6 kgm/s$

According to law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum= $(m+m')V$

$627.6=(85+90)V=175V$

$V=\frac{627.6}{175}=3.59 m/s$

Why does static friction have a maximum value

Naddik [55]

Answer:

If you push horizontally with a small force, static friction establishes an equal and opposite force that keeps the book at rest. As you push harder, the static friction force increases to match the force. Eventually maximum static friction force is exceeded and the book moves.
