After you cross the finish line, you slow down and come to a stop, breathing hard. It takes you 10 seconds to come to a stop. Wh

at is your acceleration?

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

<em>Acceleration = -- (speed as you crossed the finish line) / (10 seconds)</em>

A 10n force is applied to a 25kg mass to slide it across a frictional surface. What is the acceleration of the mass?

klasskru [66]

Answer: a = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c where c is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the surface

Explanation: We know that, by the second Newton's law, a = F/m

where a is the acceleration, F is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

Then, if the surface is frictionless, the total force applied in the object is 10N, and the mass of the object is 25kg, so the acceleration is:

a =10N/25kg = 0.4m/s^2.

But if the surface is frictional, there will be a force of friction applied in the mass (this depends on the coefficient of friction and the weight of the mass), this means that the acceleration will be reduced.

If = -(9.8*25)*c

where c is a number that is bigger than 0 and smaller than 1, is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So the total force is now:

F = (10 - 9.8*25*c)

Then, the acceleration in a frictional surface is equal to:

a = (10 - 9.8*25*c)/25 = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c

A 1kg dictionary is resting on a table that is 1.5m high. How much potential energy

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Potential energy = 14.7 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 1kg

Height, h = 1.5m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

$P.E = mgh$

Where, P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

$P.E = mgh$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$P.E = 1*9.8*1.5$

P.E = 14.7 Joules.

A 23.0 kg iron weightlifting plate has a volume of 2920 cm3 . what is the density of the iron plate in g/cm3?

yanalaym [24]

The first thing you should know for this case is that density is defined as the quotient between mass and volume:
D = M / V
In addition, you should keep in mind the following conversion:
1Kg = 1000g
Substituting the values we have:
D = (23.0 * 1000) / (2920) = 7.88 g / cm ^ 3
answer
the density of the iron plate is 7.88 g / cm ^ 3

An airplane is flying at a speed of 200 m/s in level flight at an altitude of 800 m. A package is to be dropped from the airplan

MArishka [77]

Answer:

2560m or 2.56km (rounded to 3 significant figures)

Explanation:

First, list all known and desired values/variables (initial vertical velocity is 0 as the plane is kept level and vertical acceleration is just gravity):

$Vertical \ velocity \ (\frac{m}{s} ) = u_{v} = 0 \\\\ Horizontal \ velocity \ (\frac{m}{s} ) = u_{h} = 200\\\\ Vertical \ acceleration \ (\frac{m}{s^{2} } ) = a_{v} = 9.8 \\\\ Horizontal \ acceleration \ (\frac{m}{s^{2} } ) = a_{h} = 0 \\\\ Vertical \ displacement \ (m) = s_{v} = 800 \\\\ Horizontal \ displacement \ (m) = s_{h}$

The horizontal displacement is going to be the distance travelled, horizontally of course, once the package is released;

First thing to understand is that the vertical and horizontal components are to be dealt with separately because they don't affect each other;

Since there is no horizontal acceleration (ignoring air resistance), we simply require a velocity and time to find the horizontal displacement, using the formula v = d/t (or speed = distance/time);

What we have is the horizontal velocity but we don't have the time taken;

One thing we know is that the time elapsed for the vertical fall of 800m and for the horizontal displacement must be the same;

What we do, therefore, is find the time taken for the vertical displacement using the formula, s = ut + ¹/₂·at², since we know the vertical velocity, height and acceleration:

800 = (0)t + ¹/₂·(9.8)t²

800 = 4.9t²

t² = 163.26...

t = 12.77...

We now have the time taken for the vertical fall and the horizontal displacement, we can use this with the horizontal velocity we know already and get the horizontal displacement:

$u_{h} = \frac{s_{h} }{t} \\\\ 200 = \frac{s_{h} }{12.77...} \\\\ s_{h} = 200(12.77...) \\\\ s_{h} = 2555.5...$
