Answer:

a=2.5\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly over time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

Solving the equation for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The ball starts at rest (vo=0) and rolls down an inclined plane that makes it reach a speed of vf=7.5 m/s in t=3 seconds.

The acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{7.5-0}{3}

\boxed{a=2.5\ m/s^2}

Jason launches a model rocket with a mass of 2.0 kg from his spring-powered rocket launcher with a spring constant of 800 N/m. H
Arada [10]

Answer:

121 Joules

6.16717 m

Explanation:

m = Mass of the rocket = 2 kg

k = Spring constant = 800 N/m

x = Compression of spring = 0.55 m

Here, the kinetic energy of the spring and rocket will balance each other

\frac{1}{2}mu^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\frac{800\times 0.55^2}{2}}\\\Rightarrow u=11\ m/s

The initial velocity of the rocket is 11 m/s = u.

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = g

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-11^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=6.16717\ m

The maximum height of the rocket will be 6.16717 m

Potential energy is given by

P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=2\times 9.81\times \frac{0^2-11^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow P=121\ J

The potential energy of the rocket at the maximum height will be 121 Joules

Two identical objects in outer space have a head-on collision and stick together. If, before the collision, one had been moving
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved and conservation of momentum is

p₁ + p₂ = p'₁ + p'₂

or

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v'₁  + m₂v'₂

In our problem, after collision v'₁ will be equal to v'₂.

Since objects are identical m₁ = m₂

m(v₁+ v₂) = 2m x v'₁

(2m/s + 1m/s) = 2v'₁

v'₁ = v'₂ = 1.5 m/s

11. A vector M is 15.0 cm long and makes an angle of 20° CCW from x axis and another vector N is 8.0 cm long and makes an angle
Alja [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant vector is 22.66 cm and it has a direction of 29.33°

Explanation:

To find the resultant vector, you first calculate x and y components of the two vectors M and N. The components of the vectors are calculated by using cos and sin function.

For M vector you obtain:

M=M_x\hat{i}+M_y\hat{j}\\\\M=15.0cm\ cos(20\°)\hat{i}+15.0cm\ sin(20\°)\hat{j}\\\\M=14.09cm\ \hat{i}+5.13\ \hat{j}

For N vector:

N=N_x\hat{i}+N_y\hat{j}\\\\N=8.0cm\ cos(40\°)\hat{i}+8.0cm\ sin(40\°)\hat{j}\\\\N=6.12cm\ \hat{i}+5.142\ \hat{j}

The resultant vector is the sum of the components of M and N:

F=(M_x+N_x)\hat{i}+(M_y+N_y)\hat{j}\\\\F=(14.09+6.12)cm\ \hat{i}+(5.13+5.142)cm\ \hat{j}\\\\F=20.21cm\ \hat{i}+10.27cm\ \hat{j}

The magnitude of the resultant vector is:

|F|=\sqrt{(20.21)^2+(10.27)^2}cm=22.66cm

And the direction of the vector is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{10.27}{20.21})=29.93\°

hence, the magnitude of the resultant vector is 22.66 cm and it has a direction of 29.33°

What is the relationship between the strength of an
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

As the number of turns in the coil increases, the strength  of the electromagnet increases.

Explanation:

When current flows through a coil the coil behaves as an electromagnet. The strength of electromagnet depend the amount of current, no of turns of coil and the core of coil.

B=μ₀ N I

μ₀ = permeability of the core

N = Number of turns of the coil

I = Current flowing through the coil

Increasing the current and number of coils increase the strength of electromagnet.
