Answer:

a=3.53 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vo=0 m/s (because he is not moving at the start)

V1=15 m/s

t= 4.25 s

a = (V1-Vo) / t = 15/4.25 = 3.53 m/s^2

What is the relationship between friction and velocity?

Umnica [9.8K]

Friction is exerted when an object sliding over a surface and its formula
Ff =miu times normal force miu is the coefficient of friction
Velocity is how fast a body moves with in direction and velocity =displacement over time

An airplane is accelerating forward due to a force of 3320 newtons acting

Darya [45]

Two opposite forces generate a force whose magnitude is the difference of the two magnitudes, and whose direction is the same of the strongest one.

We have 3320 newtons forward, and 550 backwards.

So, the net force is forward, and has magnitude $3320-550=2770$

A war wolf is a device used during the middle ages to assault fortifications with large rocks. A simple trebuchet is constructed

Katarina [22]

Answer:v=41.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object $m_1=52 kg$

distance of $m_1$ from the axle $r_1=14 cm$

mass of rock $m_2=123 gm$

Length of rod $=4.1 m$

distance of $m_2$ from axle $r_2=4.1-0.14=3.96 m$

Net torque acting is

$T_{net}=m_1gr_1-m_2gr_2$

$T_{net}=52\times 0.14\times g-0.123\times 3.96\times g$

$T_{net}=6.793\times 9.8$

$T_{net}=66.57 N-m$

Work done by $T_{net}$ is converted to rock kinetic Energy

thus

$T_{net}\times \theta =\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Where $\theta =angle\ turned =\frac{\pi }{2}$

$v= velocity\ at\ launch$

$66.57\times \frac{\pi }{2}=\frac{0.123\times v^2}{2}$

$v^2=66.57\times \pi$

$v=\sqrt{1700.511}$

$v=41.23 m/s$
