What happens to the acceleration of a ball as it is dropped off a clift?

You and a highway patrolman are driving at constant speeds in opposite directions on a straight highway. The patrolman is drivin

kompoz [17]

Answer: 75 mph

Explanation:

The Relative Speed for a mobile is equal to the diference between the object and the observer:

Relative Speed (Rs) = Object's Velocity - Observer's Velocity

Thinking on those terms, we would need to have a universal observer to do any understandable measurement on daily basics. This is why we all use earth as a Static Observer for every measurement we do everyday.

Using Earth as an observer, the Velocity for the Patrolman is:

Patrolman Velocity (Vp) = 60 mph

Because the radar gun does measure the Relative Speed for the object, which is 135 mph, we need to work with the equation to find the Velocity using Earth as a reference.

Object's Relative Velocity = Object's Velocity - Patrolman's Velocity

Object's Velocity = Object's Relative Velocity + Patrolman's Velocity

We need to keep in mind, the Patrolman is going on the opposite direction. Because of this the sign for his velocity should be negative.

Object's Velocity = 135 mph + ( -60 mph)

Object's Velocity = 135 mph - 60 mph

Object's Velocity = 75 mph

A 0.520-kg object attached to a spring with a force constant of 8.00 N/m vibrates in simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass attached to spring

M = 0.52kg

Force constant K = 8N/m

Amplitude A = 11.6 cm

a. Maximum speed?

Angular velocity is calculated using

w = √k/m

w = √8/0.52

w = √15.385

w = 3.922rad/s

Then, the relation ship between angular velocity and linear velocity is given as

v = - w•A

v = - 3.922 × 11.6

v = - 45.5 cm/s

Then, the maximum velocity is

vmax = |v|= 45.5cm/s

b. Acceleration a?

Acceleration can be determine using the formula

a = -w²• A

a = -3.922² × 11.6

a = -178.46 cm/s²

Magnitude of the acceleration is 178.46cm/s²

c. Speed when the object is at 9.6cm from equilibrium position?

Generally,

The position of the object at equilibrium is

x(t) = A•Cos(wt)

x(t) = 11.6 Cos (3.922t)

Then, when x(t) = 9.6cm

9.6 = 11.6 Cos(3.92t)

Cos(3.922t) = 9.6/11.6

Cos(3.922t) = 0.8276

3.922t = ArcCos(0.8276)

Note: the angle is in radiant

3.922t = 0.596

t = 0.596/3.922

t = 0.152 second

Then, v(t) at that time is

v(t) = x'(t) = -11.6×3.92Sin(3.922t)

v(t) = -45.5Sin(3.922t)

Now, when t =0.152

v(t) = -45.5 Sin(3.922×0.152)

v(t) = -45.5Sin(0.596)

v(t) = -25.5 cm/s

Then, it's magnitude is 25.5cm/s

d. Acceleration at same position

t = 0.152s

a(t) = v'(t) = - 45.5×3.922Cos(3.922t)

a(t) = -178.46Cos(3.92t)

a(t) = -178.46 Cos(3.92×0.152)

a(t) = -178.46 Cos(0.596)

a(t) = -147.68 cm/s²

Magnitude of the acceleration is 147.68 cm/s²

if vector u has lenght 70 and direction 40 degrees, and vector v has length 85 and direction 335 degrees what is the length and

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Magnitude of resultant = 131.15

Direction of resultant = 3.97°

Explanation:

||u|| = 70

θ = 40°

$\vec{u}_x=||u||cos\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{u}_x=70cos40=53.62$

$\vec{u}_y=||u||sin\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{u}_y=70sin40=44.99$

||v|| = 85

θ = 335°

$\vec{v}_x=||v||cos\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{v}_x=85cos335=77.03$

$\vec{v}_y=||v||sin\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{v}_y=85sin335=-35.92$

Resultant

$R=\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{(\vec{u}_x+\vec{v}_x)^2+(\vec{u}_y+\vec{v}_y)^2}\\\Rightarrow R =\sqrt{(70cos40+85cos335)^2+(70sin40+85sin335)^2}\\\Rightarrow R =131.15$

$\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{R_y}{R_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\frac{70sin40+85sin335}{70cos40+85cos335}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}0.069=3.97^{\circ}$

Magnitude of resultant = 131.15

Direction of resultant = 3.97°
