A child goes down a slide, starting from rest. If the length of the slide is 2 m and it takes the child 3 seconds to go down the

slide, what is the child's acceleration?

Nitella [24]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>0.44 m/s^2</em>

Explanation:

initial velocity = 0  (since the child starts from rest)

distance covered by the child = 2 m (the length of the slide)

time taken = 3 sec

acceleration of the child = ?

using Newton's equation of motion

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

where s is the distance covered by the child

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time spent

substituting values, we have

2 = 0(3) + \frac{1}{2}a*3^{2}

2 = 9a/2

4  = 9a

a = 4/9 = <em>0.44 m/s^2</em>

NeX [460]

Answer:

This is false

Explanation:

This is why the answer to this question is false. If these types of objects (2 points connected) should pass through same sets of 3 points, irrespective of the order that each object was plotted, we will not get identical shapes created.

The shape that is going to be created will be dependent on the pattern/order that was involved in the plotting. If it was identical, then we will have identical shapes. But if the order during plotting is different then we will have different shapes created.

Thank you!

15.One girl was involved in a bus crash. She told the police that she was seated in the last line of seats and that when the bus
Alona [7]

Answer: It is not likely.

Explanation:

When the bus is moving forward, all the objects inside of it also are moving forward.

Now, as the objects inside the buss are not fixed to the bus, if the bus suddenly stops the objects inside of it will keep moving forward, because of the conservation of the momentum, defined as the quantity of motion (Similar to when you are in a car and it suddenly stops, you can feel the forward impulse).

Then is not likely that, in a case where the bus stops suddenly, an object inside the bus flies backward in opposite direction to the previous movement of the bus.

A group of students is measuring the change in momentum of an object. Which set of lab equipment would be most in measuring the
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

So the equipment needed would be:

Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.
