Remember your kinematic equations for constant acceleration. One of the equations is x_{f} =  x_{i} +  v_{i}(t) + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}, where x_{f} = final position, x_{i} = initial position, v_{i} = initial velocity, t = time, and a = acceleration. 

Your initial position is where you initially were before you braked. That means x_{i} = 100m. You final position is where you ended up after t seconds passed, so x_{f} = 350m. The time it took you to go from 100m to 350m was t = 8.3s. You initial velocity at the initial position before you braked was v_{i} = 60.0 m/s. Knowing these values, plug them into the equation and solve for a, your acceleration:
350\:m = 100\:m + (60.0\:m/s)(8.3\:s) + \frac{1}{2} a(8.3\:s)^{2}\\
250\:m = (60.0\:m/s)(8.3\:s) + \frac{1}{2} a(8.3\:s)^{2}\\
250\:m = 498\:m +34.445\:s^{2}(a)\\
-248\:m = 34.445\:s^{2}(a)\\
a \approx -7.2 \: m/s^{2}

Your acceleration is approximately -7.2 \: m/s^{2}.

A disk is spinning about its center with a constant angular speed at first. Let the turntable spin faster and faster, with const
hoa [83]

Answer:

4 (please see the attached file)

Explanation:

While the angular speed (counterclockwise) remained constant, the angular acceleration was just zero.

So, the only force acting on the bug (parallel to the surface) was the centripetal force, producing a centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the disk.

When the turntable started to spin faster and faster, this caused a change in the angular speed, represented by the appearance of an angular acceleration α.

This acceleration is related with the tangential acceleration, by this expression:

at = α*r

This acceleration, tangent to the disk (aiming in the same direction of the movement, which is counterclockwise, as showed in the pictures) adds vectorially with the centripetal force, giving a resultant like the one showed in the sketch Nº 4.

A 10kg rocket is traveling at 80 m/s when the booster engine applies a constant forward force of 60 N for 3.0 seconds. What impu
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Impulse = 90

Resulting Velocity = 89

Explanation:

Use F * change in time = m * change in velocity.

For the first part of the question, the left side of the equation is the impulse. Plug it in.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 90.

For the second half. we use all parts of the equation. I'm gonna use vf for the final velocity.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 10 * (vf - 80). Simplify.

90 = 10vf - 800. Simplify again.

890 = 10vf. Divide to simplify and get the answer.

The resulting velocity is 89.

A hot air balloon of total mass M (including passengers and luggage) is moving with a downward acceleration of magnitude a. As i
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The fraction of mass that was thrown out is calculated by the following Formula:

M - m = (3a/2)/(g²- (a²/2) - (ag/2))

Explanation:

We know that Force on a moving object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration given as:

F = ma

And there is gravitational force always acting on an object in the downward direction which is equal to g = 9.8 ms⁻²

Here as a convention we will use positive sign with acceleration to represent downward acceleration and negative sign with acceleration represent upward acceleration.

Case 1:

Hot balloon of mass = M

acceleration = a

Upward force due to hot air = F = constant

Gravitational force downwards = Mg

Net force on balloon is given as:

Ma = Gravitational force - Upward Force                              

Ma = Mg - F                      (balloon is moving downwards so Mg > F)

F = Mg - Ma

F = M (g-a)

M = F/(g-a)

Case 2:

After the ballast has thrown out,the new mass is m. The new acceleration is -a/2 in the upward direction:

Net Force is given as:

-m(a/2) = mg - F        (Balloon is moving upwards so F > mg)

F = mg + m(a/2)

F = m(g + (a/2))

m = F/(g + (a/2))

Calculating the fraction of the initial mass dropped:

M-m = \frac{F}{g-a} - \frac{F}{g+\frac{a}{2} }\\M-m = F*[\frac{1}{g-a} - \frac{1}{g+\frac{a}{2} }]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(g+(a/2)) - (g-a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{g+(a/2) - g + a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(3a/2)}{g^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{2}-\frac{ag}{2}} ]
