Describe how acceleration and velocity are related and specify if these are scalar or vector quantities.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. ... If an object is changing its velocity, i.e. changing its speed or changing its direction, then it is said to be accelerating. Acceleration =change in velocity/time
They are both vector quantities

2. A person lifts 200kg seven times over the course of 11.8s. If they displaced the weight 2.2m up each time, how much power did
Aneli [31]

Answer:

<em>The person delivered a power of 2,558 Watt</em>

Explanation:

<u>Work and Power</u>

Mechanical work is the amount of energy transferred by a force. It's a scalar quantity, with SI units of joules.

Being  the force vector and  the displacement vector, the work is calculated as:

W=\vec F\cdot \vec s

If both the force and displacement are parallel, then we can use the equivalent scalar formula:

W=F.s

Power is the amount of energy transferred per unit of time. In the SI, the unit of power is the watt, equivalent to one joule per second.

The power can be calculated as:

\displaystyle P=\frac {W}{t}

Where W is the work and t is the time.

If the person lifts a mass of m=200 Kg, then exerts a force equal to its weight:

F = m.g = 200*9.8 = 1,960

F = 1,960 N

The work done when lifting the weight 7 times by a distance of s=2.2 m is:

W = 7*1,960*2.2=30,184

W = 30,184 J

Finally, the power delivered in t=11.8 seconds is:

\displaystyle P=\frac {30,184}{11.8}

P = 2,558 Watt

The person delivered a power of 2,558 Watt

The following data were collected during a short race between two friends. Velocity (m/s) 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2 4 6 2 0 Time (s) 0 2 4
scoundrel [369]

The characteristics of the kinematics allow to find the results for the questions about the movement of the body are:

a)  we have four sections;

  • 0 to 8 s The body is accelerating.
  • 8 to 10 s The body goes at a constant speed, the acceleration is zero.
  • 10 to 14 Body accelerating.
  • 14 to 18 Body slowing down.

b)  The acceleration is the first 8 s is:  a = 0.25 m / s²

c) The maximum acceleration is:    a = 1 m / s²

d) The displacement   is:  i) d₁ =  8m,     ii)  d_{total}= 16 m

e) maximum speed  is:      v = 6 m / s

Kinematics studies the movement of bodies by finding relationships between the position, speed and acceleration of bodies.

        v = v₀ + a t

        y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

where v and v₀ is the current and initial velocity, respectively, a is the acceleration and t is time.

In many circumstances graphs are made for their analysis, in a graph of speed versus time when we have a horizontal line the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero and in the case of a slope there is an acceleration, we have two cases:

  • Positive slope the body is accelerating and the speed is increasing.
  • Negative slope the body is stopping, the speed decreases.

Let's answer the different questions about the system.

a) in the attached we have a graph of the velocity versus time, each section corresponds to a change in the slope of the graph, we have four sections;

  • 0 to 8 s The body is accelerating.
  • 8 to 10 s The body goes at a constant speed, the acceleration is zero.
  • 10 to 14 Body accelerating.
  • 14 to 18 Body slowing down.

b) The acceleration is the first 8 s

          v = v₀ + a t

          a = \frac{v-v_o}{\Delta t}  

          a = \frac{2-0}{8-0}  

          a = 0.25 m / s²

c) The maximum acceleration is when the slope is maximum.

          a = \frac{6-2}{ 14-10}  

          a = 1 m / s²

Therefore the acceleration is maximum in the section between 10 and 14 s

d) The total displacement is the sum of the displacements of each section.

         d_{total } = d_1 +d_2 + d_3 +d_4  

We look for every displacement.

       d₁ = v₀ + ½ a₁ Δt²

       d₁ = 0 + ½ 0.25 8²

       d₁ = 8 m

In the second section the velocity is constant

         d₂ = v₂ Δt₂

         d₂ = 2 (10-8)

         d₂ = 4 m

The third section.

    d₃ = v₀ + ½ a t²

    d₃ = 2 + ½ 1 (14-10) ²

    d₃ = 10 m

The distance of the fourth section.

       

we look for acceleration

          a₄ = \frac{v-v_o}{\Delta t}  

          a₄ = \frac{0-6}{18-14}  

          a₄ = -1.5 m / s²

     

          d₄ = 6 + ½ (-1.5) (1814) ²

          d₄ = -6 m

The total displacement is;

          d_{total} = 8 + 4 + 10 -6

          d_{total} = 16 m

e) The maximum speed is the highest point in the graph of speed versus time that in the attachment we can see corresponds to

          v = 6 m / s

In conclusion using the characteristics of kinematics we can find the results for the questions about the motion of bodies are:

  a)  we have four sections;

  • 0 to 8 s The body is accelerating.
  • 8 to 10 s The body goes at a constant speed, the acceleration is zero.
  • 10 to 14 Body accelerating.
  • 14 to 18 Body slowing down.

b)  The acceleration is the first 8 s is:  a = 0.25 m / s²

c) The maximum acceleration is:    a = 1 m / s²

d) The displacement   is:  i) d₁ =  8m,     ii)  d_{total}= 16 m

e) maximum speed  is:      v = 6 m / s

A rocket passes you at a speed of 0.85c, and you measure its length to be 35.0 m. What is its measured length when at rest?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

66.4 m

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the length contraction formula, which states that the length observed in the reference frame moving with the object (the rocket) is given by

L=L_0 \sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}

where

L_0 is the proper length (the length measured from an observer at rest)

v is the speed of the object (the rocket)

c is the speed of light

Here we know

v = 0.85c

L = 35.0 m

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the length of the rocket at rest:

L_0 = \frac{L}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}}=\frac{35.0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.85c}{c})^2}}=66.4 m
