A ball accelerates from rest down a ramp at 2.4 m/s^2. Write an equation that could be used to determine the balls finals positi

Alik [6]

Answer:

x=2.4t+4.9t^2

Explanation:

This equation is one of the kinematic equations to solve for distance. The original equation is as follows:

X=Xo+Vt+1/2at^2

We know that the ball starts at rest meaning that its initial velocity and position is zero.

X=0+Vt+1/2at^2

Since it is going down the ramp, you can use the acceleration of gravity constant. (9.81 m/s^2) and simplify that with the 1/2.

X=Vt+4.9t^2

Note: Since the positive direction in this problem is down, you are adding the 4.9t^2, but if a question says that the downward direction is negative, you would subtract those values.

Now, substitute in your velocity value.

X=2.4t+4.9t^2

A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.55 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock $1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of minute hand = 0.55 m

Length of hour hand = 0.26 m

The time taken by the minute hand to complete one revelation is

$T= 3600\ sec$

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{3600}$

$\omega=0.001745\ rad/s$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock

Using formula of acceleration

$a=r\omega^2$

Put the value into the formula

$a=0.55\times(0.001745)^2$

$a=1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$

Hence, The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock $1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$ .

marishachu [46]

Explanation :

Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier reported four "element" classifications but included some substances that were combinations of elements rather than true elements in his listing.

He is also known as " father of modern chemistry". He gives the modern system of naming chemical substances. He also gives a theory for chemical reactivity of the oxygen.

A quick USB charger claims its output current is 1.97Amp. We know that the standard USB output voltage is 5V. What is the output

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Output power of the charger is 9.85 watts.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Output current of the USB charger, I = 1.97 A

The standard USB output voltage, V = 5 V

We need to find the output power of the charger. It can be determined using the following formula as :

P = V × I

$P=5\ V\times 1.97\ A$

P = 9.85 watts

The output power of the charger is 9.85 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.
