Answer:

5.65 m/s²

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the mass of PJ when in San Diego (i.e Earth). This can be obtained as follow:

Weight of PJ on Earth (Wₑ) = 545 N

Acceleration due to gravity (g) on Earth (gₑ) = 10 m/s²

Mass of PJ on Earth (mₑ) =.?

Wₑ = mₑ × gₑ

545 = mₑ × 10

Divide both side by 10

mₑ = 545 / 10

mₑ = 54.5 Kg

Thus, the mass of PJ on San Diego (i.e Earth) is 54.5 Kg

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration due to gravity of planet Koja. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight of PJ on Koja (Wₖ) = 308 N

Mass of PJ on Koja (mₖ) = mass of PJ on Earth (mₑ) because mass is constant irrespective of location.

Mass of PJ on Earth (mₑ) = 54.5 Kg

Mass of PJ on Koja (mₖ) = 54.5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity of on Koja (gₖ) =?

Wₖ = mₖ × gₖ

308 = 54.5 × gₖ

Divide both side by 54.5

gₖ = 308 / 54.5

gₖ = 5.65 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on planet Koja is 5.65 m/s²

Check all of the following statements that describe velocity.

Nata [24]

Answer:

Choices A, B, and C are correct.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

A. It is a vector

Yes. Velocity is a vector, or it's a speed with direction.

B. It is the change in displacement divided by the change in time.

Yes. The velocity can be written as

$v = \dfrac{\Delta\bold{x}}{\Delta t}$

where $\bold{x}$ is the displacement—a vector quantity.

C. It can be measured in meters per second.

Yes. The units of velocity are m/s, but also with a unit vector indicating the direction.

D. It is the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph.

Nope. The velocity is the slope of displacement vs. time graph.

Hence, only choices A, B, and C are correct.

While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.40 m/s2 for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b)

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) See attached picture, b) We know the initial velocity = 0, initial position=0, time=12.0s, acceleration= $2.40m/s^{2}$ , c) the car travels 172.8m in those 12 seconds, d) The car's final velocity is 28.8m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to draw a sketch of the situation, I must include the data I know, the data I would like to know and a drawing of the car including the direction of the movement and its acceleration, just like in the attached picture.

b) From the information given by the problem I know:

initial velocity =0

acceleration = $2.40m/s^{2}$

time = 12.0 s

initial position = 0

unknown:

displacement.

in order to choose the appropriate equation, I must take the knowns and the unknown and look for a formula I can use to solve for the unknown. I know the initial velocity, initial position, time, acceleration and I want to find out the displacement. The formula that contains all this data is the following:

$x=x_{0}+V_{x0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}$

Once I got the equation I need to find the displacement, I can plug the known values in, like this:

$x=0+0(12s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}$

after cancelling the pertinent units, I get that my answer will be given in meters. So I get:

$x=\frac{1}{2} (2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}$

which solves to:

$x=172.8m$

So the displacement of the car in 12 seconds is 172.8m, which makes sense taking into account that it will be accelerating for 12 seconds and each second its velocity will increase by 2.4m/s.

d) So, like the previous part of the problem, I know the initial position of the car, the time it travels, the initial velocity and its acceleration. Now I also know what its final position is, so we have more than enough information to find this answer out.

I need to find the final velocity, so I need to use an equation that will use some or all of the known data and the unknown. In order to solve this problem, I can use the following equation:

$a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{0} }{t}$

Next, since I need to find the final velocity, I can solve the equation just for that, I can start by multiplying both sides by t so I get:

$at=V_{f}-V_{0}$

and finally I can add $V_{0}$ to both sides so I get:

$V_{f}=at+V_{0}$

and now I can proceed and substitute the known values:

$V_{f}=at+V_{0}$

$V_{f}=(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}}} (12s)+0$

which solves to:

$V_{f}=28.8m/s$

To run the physics cart, the fan speed of the cart is manipulated. This is the (blank) variable. The cart accelerates due to the

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

A) Independent

B) Dependent

C) Mass

Explanation:

The speed applied to the physics cart is manipulated. This doesn't depend on another variable. Thus, speed is the (independent) variable.

The cart accelerates due to the speed applied to the cart. Acceleration depends on the speed applied. Thus, acceleration is therefore the (dependent) variable.

A “constant” is a parameter that remains the same regardless of the variables.

One parameter of the cart that is held constant is the (mass).
