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 net force required to accelerate a 16 kg box at a rate or 1.4 m/s^2
stich3 [128]
You can use Newton's Second Law which states:
\sum \vec{F} = m\vec{a}

Plug in given information:
\sum \vec{F}=16(1.4) = 22.4N

This is closest to option b which is your answer.

A plane designed for vertical takeoff has a mass of 8.0 × 10³ kg. Find the net work done by all forces on the plane as it accele
artcher [175]

Answer:

<em>the net work done after starting from rest is =  2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

Explanation:

Work: Work can be defined as the product of force and distance. The fundamental unit of work is Joules (J),  The unit of Energy is Joules (J), as such Energy and work are interchangeable during calculation, This is illustrated below

E = W = 1/2mv².......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the plane, v = velocity of the plane, E = Energy, W = work done.

v² = u² + 2as ................................. Equation 2.

Where v = final velocity of the plane, u = initial velocity of the plane, a = acceleration of the plane, distance of the plane.

<em>Given: a = 1.0 m/s², s = 30 m, u = 0 m/s (at rest)</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>v² = 0² +2×1×30</em>

<em>v² = 60</em>

<em>v = √60</em>

<em>v = 7.75 m/s</em>

Also given: m = 8.0 × 10³ kg, and v = 7.75 m/s

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>W = 1/2(8.0×10³)(7.75)²</em>

<em>W = (4.0×10³)(60)</em>

W = 240 × 10³ J

<em>W = 2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

<em>Therefore the net work done after starting from rest is =  2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>
