A particle moves along the x axis. It is intially at the position 0.270 m, moving with velocity 0.140 m/s and acceleration -0.32

0 m/s^2. Suppose it moves as a particle under constant acceleration for 4.50m/s^2. Find its position.

Answer:

The position of the particle is -2.34 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of position of a particle moving in a straight line with constant acceleration is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the particle at a time t:

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time

a = acceleration

We have the following information:

x0 = 0.270 m

v0 = 0.140 m/s

a = -0.320 m/s²

t = 4.50 s  (In the question, where it says "4.50 m/s^2" it should say "4.50 s". I have looked on the web and have confirmed it).

Then, we have all the needed data to calculate the position of the particle:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

x = 0.270 m + 0.140 m/s · 4.50 s - 1/2 · 0.320 m/s² · (4.50 s)²

x = -2.34 m

The position of the particle is -2.34 m.

A man of mass 85 kg runs up a flight of stairs of height 4.6 m in a time period
seraphim [82]

Explanation:

a) Power = work / time = force × distance / time

P = Fd/t

P = (85 kg × 9.8 m/s²) (4.6 m) / (12 s)

P ≈ 319 W

b) P = Fd/t

0.70 (319 W) = (m × 9.8 m/s²) (4.6 m) / (9.6 s)

m = 47.6 kg

The Andromeda galaxy is the closest major galaxy to our own. Andromeda shows a distinct blue-shift of light when we analyze it.
saul85 [17]
At the present time, the only way we know of that light can get shifted
toward the blue end of the spectrum is the Doppler effect ... wavelengths
appear shorter than they should be when the source is moving toward us. 

IF that's true in the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it means the galaxy is
moving toward us.

We use the same reasoning to conclude that all the galaxies whose light is red-shifted are moving away from us.  That includes the vast majority of all galaxies that we can see, and it strongly supports the theory of the big bang
and the expanding universe.

If somebody ever comes along and discovers a DIFFERENT way that light
can get shifted to new, longer or shorter wavelengths, then pretty much all
of modern Cosmology will be out the window.  There's a lot riding on the
Doppler effect !

3) How far will 20 N of force stretch a spring with a spring constant of 140 N/m?
muminat

Answer:

7 meters, 2.8 meters

Explanation:

work done (nm) = force (n) * distance (m)

140= 20 * m

140/20 = m

m=7 meters

140= 50 * m

140/50 = m

m= 2.8 meters

An object is thrown directly downward from the top of a very tall building. The speed of the object just as it is released is 17
Softa [21]

Answer:

distance cover is  = 102.53 m

Explanation:

Given data:

speed of object is 17.1 m/s

t_1 = 3.32 sec

t_2 = 5.08 sec

from equation of motion we know that

d_1 = vt_1 + \frac{1}{2} gt_1^2

where d_1 is distance covered in time t1

sod_1 = 17.1 \times 3.32 + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 \times 3.32^2=

d_1 = 110.78 m

d_2 = vt_2 + \frac{1}{2} gt_2^2

where d_2 is distance covered in time t2

d_2 = 17.1 \times 5.08 + \frac{1}{2}\times9.8 \times 5.08^2

d_2 = 213.31 m

distance cover is  = 213.31 - 110.78 = 102.53 m
