Given parameters:
Initial velocity of Coin = 0m/s
Time taken before coin hits ground = 5.7s
Unknown:
Final velocity of the coin = ?
Velocity is displacement with time. To solve this problem, we have to apply one of the equations of motion.
The fitting one of them here is shown below;
V = U + gt
where;
V is the final velocity
U is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity
t is the time taken
Here we use positive value of acceleration due to gravity because the coin is falling with the effect of acceleration and not against it.
Now input the parameters and solve;
V = 0 + 9.81 x 5.7
V = 55.917m/s
Therefore, the final velocity is 55.917m/s.
Answer: the expanding universe
Explanation:
Hope that helps!
Impulse = (force) x (time)
The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec
The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so
(50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec
Divide each side by 50N : Time = 200/50 = <em>4 seconds</em>
By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's <em>momentum</em>.
