An egg is Free Falling Down from a nest in a tree (neglect air resistance)​

Physics
1 answer:
DedPeter [7]2 years ago
5 0

We are to calculate the acceleration.

Answer:

-9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Since the egg is in a free fall, it means that the force due to gravity will be equal to the normal force.

Now,

Force due to gravity: F_g = mg

Normal force; F_n = ma

Thus;

mg = ma

m will cancel out to get

g = a

Since it is a free fall motion, then gravity is negative;

-g = a

g has a constant value of 9.8 m/s². Thus;

a = -9.8 m/s²

Sedaia [141]

Answer: Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Under what circumstances does distance traveled equal magnitude of displacement?

When a body's motion is linear in one direction. Or a body moving in a straight line without turning back.

What is the only case in which magnitude of displacement and distance are exactly the same?

When the body is moving in a straight line with without changing direction or without turning back.

When is the velocity of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

A.  when the mass has a displacement of zero

Explanation:

The velocity of a mass on a spring can be calculated by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the total energy of the mass-spring system is equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy (U) of the spring and the kinetic energy (K) of the mass:

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position of the spring

m is the mass

v is the velocity of the mass

Since the total energy E must remain constant, we can notice the following:

- When the displacement is zero (x=0), the velocity must be maximum, because U=0 so K is maximum

- When the displacement is maximum, the velocity must be minimum (zero), because U is maximum and K=0

Based on these observations, we can conclude that the velocity of the mass is at its maximum value when the displacement is zero, so the correct option is A.

A Boeing 777 aircraft has a mass of 300,000 kg. At a certain instant during its landing, its speed is 27.0 m/s. If the braking f
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Speed of the airplane 10.0 s later = 12.2 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of Boeing 777 aircraft = 300,000 kg

Braking force = 445,000 N

Deceleration

            a=\frac{445000}{300000}=1.48m/s^2

Initial velocity, u = 27 m/s

Time , t = 10 s

We have equation of motion, v =u +at

            v = 27 + (-1.48) x 10 = 27 - 14.8 = 12.2 m/s

Speed of the airplane 10.0 s later = 12.2 m/s
