Answer:

18 m

Explanation:

Given : vo = 0 m/s ; t = 3 s; a = 4 m/s^2 ; d = ? m ; average velocity = ? m/s ; fonal velocity = ? m/s

solving for the final velocity, v

v = a * t

v = 4 m/s^2 * 3 s

v = 12 m / s

Solving for the average velocity. avg v

avg v = (vo + v) / 2

avg v = (0 m / s + 12 m/s) / 2

avg v = 6 m / s

Solving for the distance traveled after 3 s

d = avg v * t

d = 6 m / s * 3 s

d = 18 meters

In the first 3s the car travels 18 meters.

Flauer [41]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the sports car, u = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

Final speed of the runner, v = 0

Distance covered by the sports car, d = 80 km = 80000 m

Let a is the acceleration of the sports car. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2ad$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}$

$a=\dfrac{0-(22.22)^2}{2\times 80000}$

$a=-0.00308\ m/s^2$

Value of g, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=\dfrac{-0.00308}{9.8}\ m/s^2$

$a=(-0.000314)\ g\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is required solution.

There is a 90 kg woman attached at the end of a bungee cord (k = 35 N/m) that is experiencing simple harmonic motion. How long d

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The value is $T =10.1 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the woman is $m = 90 \ kg$

The spring constant of the bungee cord is $k = 35 \ N/ m$

Generally the period of the oscillation (i,e time taken to complete on cycle ) is mathematically represented as

$T = 2 \pi * \sqrt{ \frac{m}{k} }$

=> $T = 2 * 3.142 * \sqrt{ \frac{90 }{ 35} }$

=> $T =10.1 \ s$
