Explanation:
Let
= distance traveled while accelerating
= distance traveled while decelerating
The distance traveled while accelerating is given by
We need the velocity of the rocket after 30 seconds and we can calculate it as follows:
This will be the initial velocity when start calculating for the distance it traveled while decelerating.
Solving for we get
Therefore, the total distance x is
Answer:
3.07 m/s
Explanation:
We know that from kinematics equation
and here, a=g where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is acceleration, s is the distance moved, g is acceleration due to gravity
Making u the subject then
Substituting v for 6.79 m/s, s for 1.87 m and g as 9.81 m/s2 then
The ball took half of the total time ... 4 seconds ... to reach its highest
point, where it began to fall back down to the point of release.
At its highest point, its velocity changed from upward to downward.
At that instant, its velocity was zero.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². That means that an object that's
acted on only by gravity gains 9.8 m/s of downward speed every second.
-- If the object is falling downward, it moves 9.8 m/s faster every second.
-- If the object is tossed upward, it moves 9.8 m/s slower every second.
The ball took 4 seconds to lose all of its upward speed. So it must have
been thrown upward at (4 x 9.8 m/s) = 39.2 m/s .
(That's about 87.7 mph straight up. Somebody had an amazing pitching arm.)
Answer:
1.7 m/s²
Explanation:
d = length of the ramp = 13.5 m
v₀ = initial speed of the skateboarder = 0 m/s
v = final speed of the skateboarder = 7.37 m/s
a = acceleration
Using the equation
v² = v₀² + 2 a d
7.37² = 0² + 2 a (13.5)
a = 2.01 m/s²
θ = angle of the incline relative to ground = 29.9
a' = Component of acceleration parallel to the ground
Component of acceleration parallel to the ground is given as
a' = a Cosθ
a' = 2.01 Cos29.9
a' = 1.7 m/s²
Answer:
The gravitational force between them increases by a factor of 4
Explanation:
Gravitational force is a force of attraction between two objects with masses M and m which are separated by a distance R. It is given mathematically as:
Fg = GMm/R²
Where G = Gravitational constant.
If the distance between their centers, R, decreases by a factor of 2, then it means the new distance between their centers is:
r = R/2
Hence,the gravitational force becomes:
Fg = GMm/r²
Fg = GMm/(R/2)²
Fg = GMm/(R²/4)
Fg = 4GMm/R²
Hence,the gravitational force increases by a factor of 4.
