A small car of mass 833 kg is parked behind a small truck of mass 1767 kg on a level road. The brakes of both the car and the tr

uck are off so that they are free to roll with negligible friction. A 41 kg woman sitting on the tailgate of the truck shoves the car away by exerting a constant force on the car with her feet. The car accelerates at 1.5 m/s 2 . What is the acceleration of the truck

Answer: the acceleration of the truck a_t is 0.6911 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

There is no external force on the system; net force on the system is 0

Mass of the truck with the woman M = 1767 kg + 41 kg = 1808 kg

mass of the car m = 833 kg

car acceleration a_c = 1.5 m/s²

now let a_t be the acceleration of the truck in opposite direction

Action force on the car = Reaction force on the car

ma_c = Ma_t

a_t = ma_c / M

we substitute

a_t = (833 × 1.5) / 1808

a_t = 1249.5 / 1808

a_t = 0.6911 m/s²    

Therefore, the acceleration of the truck a_t is 0.6911 m/s²

A ball is thrown vertically downwards with a speed 7.3 m/s from the top of a 51 m tall building. With what speed will it hit the
ddd [48]

Answer:

32.46m/s

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this exercise we must be clear that the ball moves with constant acceleration with the value of gravity = 9.81m / S ^ 2

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are the follow

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =7.3m/S

A = g=acceleration =9.81m/s^2

X = displacement =51m}

solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{Vo^2+2gX}\\Vf=\sqrt{7.3^2+2(9.81)(51)}=32.46m/s

the speed with the ball hits the ground is 32.46m/s

How do I calculate the value of the slope graph​
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Slope is calculated using the equation: slope= rise/run (y/x). Take take y value of a point and put it over the x value of the same point and then simplify the fraction.
