Answer:
2.0 m/s/s
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.
Mathematically, it is given by:
where
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v
Acceleration is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.
For the runner in this problem, we have:
u = 0 is the initial velocity (he starts from rest)
v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity
t = 4.0 s is the time taken
Substituting, we find
Answer:
a) &
b)
c)
Explanation:
Given:
mass of the book,
combined mass of the student and the skateboard,
initial velocity of the book,
angle of projection of the book from the horizontal,
a)
velocity of the student before throwing the book:
Since the student is initially at rest and no net force acts on the student so it remains in rest according to the Newton's first law of motion.
where:
initial velocity of the student
velocity of the student after throwing the book:
Since the student applies a force on the book while throwing it and the student standing on the skate will an elastic collision like situation on throwing the book.
where:
final velcotiy of the student after throwing the book
b)
c)
Since there is no movement of the student in the vertical direction, so the total momentum transfer to the earth will be equal to the momentum of the book in vertical direction.
