The rock will continue to travel in a straight line with a constant velocity for ever... The reason is, once it leaves your hand there is no force acting on the rock, so it will just continue to move in a natural motion which is constant velocity.

An object is moving east, and its velocity changes from 65 m/s to 25 m/s in 10 seconds. Which describes the acceleration? negati
hammer [34]

Answer:

we could use the formula, v=u+at,

65=25+a (10), a=4 , since the motion is declerating we have a=-4 m/s2

A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away.
alisha [4.7K]
A) 

     It is a launch oblique, therefore the initial velocity in the vertical direction is zero. Space Hourly Equation in vertical, we have:

S=S_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{at^2}{2} \\ 20= \frac{10t^2}{2} \\ t=2s
 
     Through Definition of Velocity, comes:

\Delta v=  \frac{\Delta S}{\Delta t}  \\ v_x= \frac{36}{2}  \\ \boxed {v_{x}=18m/s}


B)
 
     Using the Velocity Hourly Equation in vertical direction, we have:

v_{y}=v_{y_{o}}+gt \\ v_{y}=10\times2 \\ \boxed {v_{y}=20m/s}
  
     The angle of impact is given by:

cos(\theta) =\frac{v_{x}}{v_{y}}  \\ cos(\theta) = \frac{18}{20}  \\ cos(\theta) =0.9 \\ arccos(0.9)=\theta \\ \boxed {\theta \approx 25.84}

Which of the following has the greatest amount of kinetic energy a)slice of pizza b)a person at the top of the stairs c)wind d)a
Talja [164]

Answer:

c)wind

Explanation:

Wind from the given choices will have the greatest amount of kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion of a body. It is different from the energy at rest in a body.

  • Wind is air in motion.
  • Wind energy is a form of kinetic energy in motion.

A book on a table, a slice of pizza and a person at the top of the stairs are all at rest and will possess potential energy.
