Answer: a) vcar= 7 m/s ; b) a train= 0.65 m/s^2
Explanation: By using the kinematic equation for the car and the train we can determine the above values of the car velocity and the acceletarion of the train, respectively.
We have for the car
distance = v car* t, considering the length of train (81.1 m) travel by the car during the first 11.6 s
the v car = distance/time= 81.1 m/11.6s= 7 m/s
In order to calculate the acceleration we have to use the kinematic equation for the train from the rest
distance train = (a* t^2)/2
distance train : distance travel by the car at constant speed
so distance train= (vcar*36.35)m=421 m
the a traiin= (2* 421 m)/(36s)^2=0.65 m/s^2
Answer:
Option 3. The tennis ball began from rest and rolls at a rate of 14.7 m/s safer 1.5 seconds.
Explanation:
To know the the correct answer to the question, it is important that we know the definition of acceleration.
Acceleration can simply be defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
a = (v – u) /t
Where
a => acceleration
v => final velocity
u => Initial velocity
t => time
With the above information in mind, let us consider the options given in the question above to know which conform to the difinition of acceleration.
For Option 1,
We were told that the tennis ball has the following:
Distance = 4 m
Time = 1.5 s
This talks about the speed and not the acceleration.
Speed = distance / time
For Option 2,
We were only told about the average speed and nothing else.
For Option 3,
We were told that the tennis ball have the following:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 14.7 m/s
Time = 1.5 s
This talks about the acceleration.
a = (v – u) /t
For Option 4,
We were only told that the tennis rolls to the right at an average speed. This talks about the average velocity. We need more information like time to justify the acceleration.
From the above illustrations, option 3 gives the correct answer to the question.
Eugene Cernan was not the last, but he was the most recent.
