Answer:

a. Acceleration, a = 1.88 m/s²

b. Time, t = 7.87 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, U = 14.5m/s

Final velocity, V = 29.3m/s

Distance, S = 172m

a. To find the acceleration of the speedboat;

We would use the third equation of motion;

V² = U² + 2aS

Substituting into the formula

29.3² = 14.5² + 2a*172

858.49 = 210.25 + 344a

344a = 858.49 - 210.25

344a = 648.24

a = 648.24/344

Acceleration, a = 1.88 m/s²

b. To find the time;

We would use the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

29.3 = 14.5 + 1.88t

1.88t = 29.3 - 14.5

1.88t = 14.8

Time, t = 14.8/1.88

Time, t = 7.87 seconds.

A 50 gram meterstick is placed on a fulcrum at its 50 cm mark. A 20 gram mass is attached at the 12 cm mark. Where should a 40 g
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The 40g mass will be attached at 69 cm

Explanation:

First, make a sketch of the meterstick with the masses placed on it;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

               ↓                    Δ                      ↓

             20 g.................50 cm.................40g

                         38 cm                  y cm  

Apply principle of moment;

sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment

40y = 20 (38)

40y = 760

y = 760 / 40

y = 19 cm

Therefore, the 40g mass will be attached at 50cm + 19cm = 69 cm

              12cm             50 cm              69cm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

               ↓                    Δ                      ↓

             20 g.................50 cm.................40g

                         38 cm                 19 cm
