The equation we can use here is:

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a d

where v is final velocity, v0 is intial velocity, a is acceleration and d is distance

 

14^2 = 8^2 + 2 a (44)

The acceleration of the car travelling in a straight line is \fbox{\begin\\1.5\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}\end{minispace}}.

Further Explanation:

A car travelling in a straight line with a constant uniform acceleration will always follow the Newton’s law of motion.

Given:

The initial velocity of the car is 8\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{\text{s}}}.

The final velocity of the car is 14\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{\text{s}}}.

The total distance covered by the car is 44\,{\text{m}}.

Concept:

The car is following the Newton’s law of motion. As per the Newton's laws of motion, the motion of a body is governed by the three equations of motion.

To calculate the uniform acceleration of car when initial velocity, final velocity, and distance covered by car given, the equation of motion we can use here is:

\fbox{\begin\\v^2 = {u^2} + 2as\end{minispace}}

Rearrange the above equation for value of acceleration :

a=\dfrac{{{v^2}-{u^2}}}{{2s}}

Here, s is the distance covered by car, u is the given initial velocity of the car, v is the given final velocity of the car and a is the acceleration of the car.

Substitute 14\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}} for v, 8\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}} for u and 44\,{\text{m}} for s in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}a&=\dfrac{{{{\left({14\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{\text{s}}}}\right)}^2}-{{\left({8\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{\text{s}}}}\right)}^2}}}{{2\times44}}\\&=1.5\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the acceleration of the car travelling in a straight line is \fbox{\begin\\1.5\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}\end{minispace}}.

A stone is thrown straight up from the edge of a roof, 925 feet above the ground, at a speed of 20 feet per second. Remembering
Black_prince [1.1K]
<h2>Answer: 469 feet</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

Where:

y is the height of the stone at 6s (the value we want to find)

y_{o}=925ft is the initial height of the stone

V_{o}=20ft/s is the initial velocity of the stone

t=6s is the time  at which we need to find the height

g=32ft/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity

Having this clear, let's find y from (1):

y=925ft+(20ft/s)(6s)-\frac{1}{2}(32ft/s^{2})(6s)^{2} (2)

Finally:

y=469ft This is the height of the stone at t=6s

Carrie is driving a car. Which factors determine the kinetic energy of her car<br> at this point
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The two main factors that affect kinetic energy are mass and speed.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that is caused by the motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy or force that the object has due to its motion. Your moving vehicle has kinetic energy; as you increase your vehicle's speed, your vehicle's kinetic energy increases.

Have a great day! :D

A ball filled with an unknown material starts from rest at the top of a 2 m high incline that makes a 28o with respect to the ho
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<u>Searching in google I found the total mass and the radius of the ball (m = 1.5 kg and r = 10 cm) which are needed to solve the problem!</u>  

The ball rotates 6.78 revolutions.

     

Explanation:

<u>Searching in google I found the total mass and the radius of the ball (m = 1.5 kg and r = 10 cm) which are needed to solve the problem!</u>        

At the bottom the ball has the following angular speed:

\omega_{f} = \frac{v_{f}}{r} = \frac{4.9 m/s}{0.10 m} = 49 rad/s

Now, we need to find the distance traveled by the ball (L) by using θ=28° and h(height) = 2 m:

sin(\theta) = \frac{h}{L} \rightarrow L = \frac{h}{sin(\theta)} = \frac{2 m}{sin(28)} = 4.26 m

To find the revolutions we need the time, which can be found using the following equation:                

v_{f} = v_{0} + at  

t = \frac{v_{f} - v_{0}}{a} (1)

So first, we need to find the acceleration:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2aL \rightarrow a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2L}    (2)  

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:

t = \frac{v_{f} - v_{0}}{\frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2L}}

Since it starts from rest (v₀ = 0):  

t = \frac{2L}{v_{f}} = \frac{2*4.26 m}{4.9 m/s} = 1.74 s

Finally, we can find the revolutions:  

\theta_{f} = \frac{1}{2} \omega_{f}*t = \frac{1}{2}*49 rad/s*1.74 s = 42.63 rad*\frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = 6.78 rev

Therefore, the ball rotates 6.78 revolutions.

I hope it helps you!

MATHPHYS HELP
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

16.4287

Explanation:

The force and displacement are related by Hooke's law:

F = kΔx

The period of oscillation of a spring/mass system is:

T = 2π√(m/k)

First, find the value of k:

F = kΔx

78 N = k (98 m)

k = 0.796 N/m

Next, find the mass of the unknown weight.

F = kΔx

m (9.8 m/s²) = (0.796 N/m) (67 m)

m = 5.44 kg

Finally, find the period.

T = 2π√(m/k)

T = 2π√(5.44 kg / 0.796 N/m)

T = 16.4287 s
