Answer:

3.13cm/s²

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity u = 3.5cm/s

Final velocity v = 8.2cm/s

Time t = 1.5secs

Required

Acceleration of the cart a

To get that, we will use the equation of motion

v = u+at

Substitute the given parameters

8.2 = 3.5+1.5a

1.5a = 8.2-3.5

1.5a = 4.7

a = 4.7/1.5

a = 3.13cm/s²

Hence the acceleration to the cart is 3.13cm/s²

What is the formula for conservation of momentum
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The general equation for conservation of momentum during a collision between n number of objects is given as: [m i ×v i a ] = [m i ×v i b ] Where m i is the mass of object i , v i a is the velocity of object i before the collision, and v i b is the velocity of object i after the collision.

Over a span of 6.0 seconds, a car changes it's speed from 89 km/h to 37 km/h. What is its average acceleration in meters per sec
scoundrel [369]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

change in speed = (37 km/hr) - (89 km/hr) = -52 km/hr

Acceleration = (-52 km/hr) / (6 sec)

Acceleration = (-26/3) km/(hr·sec)

Units: (1/hr·sec) · (hr/3600 sec) = 1 / 3600 sec²

(-26/3) km/(hr·sec) = (-26/3) km/(3600 sec²)

= -26,000/(3 · 3600) m/s²

<em>Acceleration = -2.41 m/s²</em>

A skateboarder is skating back and forth on the halfpipe as seen below. As he skates his energy transforms from potential energy
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that in absence of frictional forces, the mechanical energy of an object (given by the sum of its kinetic and potential energy) is conserved. In such a situation, the skateboarder would never stop his motion, because potential energy is continuously converted into kinetic energy and vice-versa, but the total energy remains the same so he would never stop.

In a real world, however, this is not true. In fact, in a real world some frictional force are present, in particular:

- friction: this force is due to the contact between the skateboard and the surface of the halfpipe, and its direction is always opposite to the motion of the skateboarder

- Air resistance: this force is due to the resistance opposed by the molecules of air that the skateboarder meets during his motion, and its direction is also opposite to the motion of the skateboarder

This two forces are said to be non-conservative forces, which means that they cause some of the mechanical energy of the skateboarder to be "lost", in the sense that it is dissipated as heat and it is no longer available for the skateboarder.

Therefore, the correct option is

Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.

si se deja caer un carrito desde el punto mas alto de ua psta de coches cuya altura es de 1.4m cual es la velocidad maxima que p
forsale [732]

Answer:

v = 5.24[m/s]

Explanation:

Este problema se puede resolver por medio del principio de la conservación de la energía, donde la energía potencial es igual a la energía cinética. Es decir a medida que el carrito desciende su energía potencial disminuye, pero su energía cinética aumenta.

E_{kin}=E_{pot}

Donde:

E_{kin}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\\\E_{pot}=m*g*h

Ahora reemplazando:

\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}=m*g*h\\\\0.5*v^{2}=9.81*1.4\\v=\sqrt{\frac{9.81*1.4}{0.5} }   \\\\v=5.24[m/s]
