Answer:

$t=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.

We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,

speed = distance/time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1609}{3\cdot10^{8}}\\\\=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

So, the required time is $5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

A bike first accelerates from 0.0m/s to 4.5m/s in 4.5 s, the continues at this constant speed for another 6.0 s. What is the tot

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

37.125 m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

s=ut+0.5at^{2} where s is distance, u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration

Distance during acceleration

Acceleration, a=\frac {V_{final}-V_{initial}}{t} where V_{final} is final velocity and V_{initial} is initial velocity.

Substituting 0.0 m/s for initial velocity and 4.5 m/s for final velocity, acceleration will be

a=\frac {4.5 m/s-0 m/s}{4.5 s}=1 m/s^{2}

Then substituting u for 0 m/s, t for 4.5 s and a for 1 m/s^{2} into the equation of motion

s=0*4.5+ 0.5*1*4.5^{2}=0+10.125 =10.125 m

Distance at a constant speed

At a constant speed, there's no acceleration and since speed=distance/time then distance is speed*time

Distance=4.5 m/s*6 s=27 m

Total distance

Total=27+10.125=37.125 m

Describe a ball's motion as it rolls up a slanted

emmasim [6.3K]

The ball will decelerate as it moves upwards.

The magnitude of the ball's acceleration is 0.3 m/s² and it directed backwards.

The given parameters;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 1.25 m/s
time of motion of the ball, t = 4.22 s

As the ball rolls up the inclined plane, the velocity decreases and eventually becomes zero when the ball reaches the highest point of the plane.

Thus, the ball decelerate as it moves upwards.

The acceleration of the ball is calculate as;

$a = \frac{v_f -v_0}{t} \\\\$

at the highest point on the incline plane, the final velocity $v_f$ is zero

$a = \frac{0-1.25}{4.22} \\\\a = -0.3 \ m/s^2$

Thus, the magnitude of the ball's acceleration is 0.3 m/s² and it directed backwards.
