Answer:

a. -39.2 m/s; -78.4 m

b. -31.2 m/s; -46.4 m

c. -47.2 m/s; -110.4 m

Explanation:

<h2>Part (a)</h2>

We are given/can infer these variables:

  • t = 4.0 s
  • a = -9.8 m/s²
  • v_0 = 0 m/s

We want to find the displacement and the final velocity of the rock.

  • Δx = ?
  • v = ?

We can use this equation to find the final velocity:

  • v = v_0 + at

Plug in the known variables into this equation.

  • v = 0 + (-9.8)(4.0)
  • v = -9.8 * 4.0
  • v = -39.2 m/s

The final velocity of the rock is -39.2 m/s.

Now we can use this equation to find the displacement of the rock:

  • Δx = v_0 t + 1/2at²

Plug in the known variables into this equation.

  • Δx = 0 * 4.0 + 1/2(-9.8)(4.0)²
  • Δx = 1/2(-9.8)(4.0)²
  • Δx = -4.9 * 16
  • Δx = -78.4 m

The displacement of the rock is -78.4 m.

<h2>Part (b)</h2>

We are given/can infer these variables:

  • v_0 = 8.0 m/s
  • a = -9.8 m/s²
  • t = 4.0 s

We can use this equation to find the final velocity:

  • v = v_0 + at

Plug in the known variables into this equation.

  • v = 8.0 + (-9.8)(4.0)
  • v = 8.0 + -39.2
  • v = -31.2 m/s

The final velocity of the rock is -31.2 m/s.

We can use this equation to find the displacement:

  • Δx = v_0 t + 1/2at²

Plug in known variables:

  • Δx = 8.0(4.0) + 1/2(-9.8)(4.0)²
  • Δx = 32 - 4.9(16)
  • Δx = -46.4 m

The displacement of the rock is -46.4 m.

<h2>Part (c)</h2>

We are given/can infer these variables:

  • v_0 = -8.0 m/s
  • a = -9.8 m/s²
  • t = 4.0 s

We can use this equation to find the final velocity:

  • v = v_0 + at

Plug in the known variables into this equation.

  • v = -8.0 + (-9.8)(4.0)
  • v = -8.0 - 39.2
  • v = -47.2 m/s

The final velocity of the rock is -47.2 m/s.

We can use this equation to find the displacement:

  • Δx = v_0 t + 1/2at²

Plug in known variables:

  • Δx = -8.0(4.0) + 1/2(-9.8)(4.0)²
  • Δx = -32 - 4.9(16)
  • Δx = -110.4 m

The displacement of the rock is -110.4 m.

What is the acceleration of a 0.90g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing?
Scilla [17]
The acceleration of a 0.90 g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing is the sum of the acceleration of the movement of the finger and the acceleration of gravity. In this case, this is different when the finger goes down, since the acceleration now becomes the difference between the two.

Two skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect any friction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a₁ = 0.63 m/s²  (East)

a₂ = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

Explanation:

m₁ = 95 Kg

m₂ = 51 Kg

F = 60 N

a₁ = ?

a₂ = ?

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the man we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = m₁*a₁         ⇒      60 N = 95 Kg*a₁    

⇒  a₁ = (60N / 95Kg) = 0.63 m/s²  (⇒)  East

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the woman we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = -m₂*a₂         ⇒      60 N = -51 Kg*a₂    

⇒  a₂ = (60N / 51Kg) = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

For every case we apply Newton’s 3 d Law

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie
Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance=  Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles
