Answer:

24m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Distance S = 3m

Time of fall = 0.5sec

Required

Acceleration due to gravity

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

3 = 0+1/2g(0.5)²

3 = 1/2(0.25)g

3 = 0.125g

g = 3/0.125

g = 24

Hence the value for the acceleration of gravity on this new planet is 24m/s²

A conservative force does the same work regardless of the path taken.
ella [17]

A conservative force is a force that when work is done against this force the work done does not depend on the path taken only the initial and final position.

An object is attached to a hanging unstretched, ideal and massless spring and slowly lowered to its equilibrium position, a dist
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

10.6cm

Explanation:

We are given 5.3cm below the starting point (spring extension).

Therefore, to find static vertical equilibrium, we use the equation:

kx = mg

Where:

k = spring constant =

=mg/5.3 kg/s²

We are told the object was dropped from rest.

Therefore:

loss in potential energy = gain in spring p.e

Let's use the expression:

mgx = ½kx²

We are asked to find the stretch at maximum elongation x.

To find x, we make x subject of the formula.

Therefore, we have:

x = 2mg/k (after rearranging the equation above)

x = (2mg) / (mg/5.3)

x = 10.6cm

If a car accelerates from a speed of 10 m/s at an acceleration of 2 m/s2 for 3s.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Final \ speed \ of \ the \ car = 16 \ m/s}

Given:

Initial speed (u) = 10 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²

Time taken (t) = 3s

To Find:

Final speed (v) of the car

Explanation:

From equation of motion we have:

\boxed{ \bold{v = u + at}}

By substituting value of u, a & t in the equation we get:

\sf \implies v = 10  + 2\times 3 \\  \\ \sf \implies v = 10 + 6 \\  \\ \sf \implies v = 16 \: m {s}^{ - 1}

\therefore

Final speed (v) of the car = 16 m/s
