If we take v=u+at and our given values are:

v=final velocity 20m/s

u=initial velocity 15m/s

a=acceleration

t=time 5sec

we plug those into our equation:

20m/s=15m/s+a(5s)

now we just rearrange to solve for acceleration.

(5m/s)/(5s)=a

a=1m/s^2

hope this helps!

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 25 m lower vert

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x = 5.79 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car = 39000 Kg

spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

height of the track = 25 m

length of spring compressed = ?

using conservation of energy

potential energy is converted into spring energy

$m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2 m g h}{k}}$

$x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000 \times 9.8 \times 25}{5.7 \times 10^{5}}}$

$x =\sqrt{33.5263}$

x = 5.79 m

the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.

A ball is dropped from a building of height h. Assume the ball starts from rest and that air friction can be ignored. Derive an

agasfer [191]

Answer:

$t=\sqrt{h/g}$

Explanation:

We use the kinematics equation to solve this question:

$y(t)=y_{o}+v_{o}t+1/2*a*t^{2}$

$v_{o}=0$ because the ball is dropped

$a=-g$ the acceleration is the gravity, negative because it points downwards

$y_{o}=h$ initial height

$y(t)=h/2$ final height

So:

$h/2=h-1/2*g*t^{2}$

$t=\sqrt{h/g}$
