Answer:
26.8 seconds
Explanation:
To solve this problem we have to use 2 kinematics equations: *I can't use subscripts for some reason on here so I am going to use these variables:
v = final velocity
z = initial velocity
x = distance
t = time
a = acceleration
First let's find the final velocity the plane will have at the end of the runway using the first equation:
Now we can plug this into the second equation to find t:
Then using 3 significant figures we round to 26.8 seconds
The center of mass of the two objects is the average position of the parts of the two object system
The center of mass of block <em>A</em>, and block <em>B</em> after displacement of block <em>B</em> is at <u>20 m from block </u><u><em>A</em></u>
<em />
Reason:
The given parameters are;
The position of block A and block B at t = 0 is x = 0
The mass of block A, m₁ = 8 kg
Mass of block B, m₂ = 16 kg
Speed of block <em>A</em> = 0 m/s
Speed of block <em>B</em>, v₂ = 10 m/s
Location of the center of mass of the two object at t = 3 s; Required
Solution;
The location of block <em>A</em>, after 3 s is x₁ = 0 (block A is at rest)
The location of block <em>B</em>, = v₂ × t
The location of block <em>B</em>, after 3 s is x₂ = 10 m/s × 3 s = 30 m
The center of mass of two masses are given as follows;
The center of mass of the two objects is at at the position x = <u>20 m</u> (from block <em>A</em>)
