When a projectile reaches the highest point the vertical component of the acceleration is:

Physics
1 answer:
Mazyrski [523]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The acceleration is g.

Taking the upward direction as positive

V = Vy y - 1/2 g t^2

Taking the downward direction as positive

V = -V y + 1/2 g t^2

One can choose either direction as positive, but the acceleration is

the same as g (it is g) while the projectile is in the air.

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL
lozanna [386]

Answer:

\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}

Substituting:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}

Calculating:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}

\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}

A student drops a ball from the top of a 10-meter tall building. The ball leaves the thrower's hand with a zero speed. What is t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

Here, v be the velocity of ball as it just strikes with the ground

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 10

v^2 = 196

v = 14 m/s

A truck accelerates From being stopped to 18 m/s in 5.5 seconds. A bus accelerates from being stopped to 24 m/s in 6.0 seconds.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The bus

Explanation:

a = (v-u)/t  

Where

a = acceleration

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

For truck to get its acceleration,

a = (18-0)/5.5 = 3.27 ms⁻²

For bus to get its acceleration,

a = (24-0)/6 = 4 ms⁻²

As 4 > 3.27 bus has a greater acceleration.
