Answer:

In space there is no air resistance. on earth there is

in space there is no opposite forces acting on stopping the ball, so if you throw it it will go on forever.

on earth there is air resistance and gravity, this will pull the ball towards the ground and slow it down.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

a) $\Delta{t} = 5.39s$

b) the motorcycle travels 155 m

Explanation:

Let $t_2-t_1 = \Delta{t}$ , then consider the equation of motion for the motorcycle (accelerated) and for the car (non accelerated):

$v_{m2}=v_0+a\Delta{t}\\x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2} )\Delta{t}\\v_c = v_0 = \frac{x}{\Delta{t}}$

where:

$v_{m2}$ is the speed of the motorcycle at time 2

$v_{c}$ is the velocity of the car (constant)

$v_{0}$ is the velocity of the car and the motorcycle at time 1

d is the distance between the car and the motorcycle at time 1

x is the distance traveled by the car between time 1 and time 2

Solving the system of equations:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}car&motorcycle\\x=v_0\Delta{t}&x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}}) \Delta{t}\end{array}\right]$

$v_0\Delta{t}=\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-d \\\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-v_0\Delta{t}=d\\(v_0+v_{m2})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(v_0+v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(2v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\a\Delta{t}^2=2d\\\Delta{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2*58}{4}}=\sqrt{29}=5.385s$

For the second part, we need to calculate x+d, so you can use the equation of the car to calculate x:

$x = v_0\Delta{t}= 18\sqrt{29}=96.933m\\then:\\x+d = 154.933$

Pls how to solve this problem. help would be appreciated

Bingel [31]

Answer:

80 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

a = -5 m/s²

v = 0 m/s

Δx = 640 m

Find: v₀

v² = v₀² + 2a(x − x₀)

(0 m/s)² = v₀² + 2(-5 m/s²) (640 m)

v₀ = 80 m/s
