Answer:
v_f = 17.4 m / s
Explanation:
For this exercise we can use conservation of energy
starting point. On the hill when running out of gas
Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g y₁
final point. Arriving at the gas station
Em_f = K + U = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ m v₀ ² + m g y₁ = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂
v_f ² = v₀² + 2g (y₁ -y₂)
we calculate
v_f ² = 20² + 2 9.8 (10 -15)
v_f = √302
v_f = 17.4 m / s
<span>The overall force that is acting on the bottle is gravity. With the incline being 30 degrees the full force of gravity isn't acting on the bottle becuase the ramp isn't allowing the bottle to go straight down. By taking the sin of 30 degrees you find the proportion of gravity that is acting on the bottle to be 4.9 meters per second and the bottle weights 20 kg so the force acting on the bottle is 98 Newtons.</span>
For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the book is equal to the product between the mass of the book and its acceleration:

(1)
There are only two forces acting on the book:
- its weight, directed downward: mg
- the force exerted by the hand on the book, of 20 N, directed upward
so, equation (1) becomes

from which we can calculate the book's acceleration, a:
Refer to the diagram shown below.
Neglect wind resistance, and use g = 9.8 m/s².
The pole vaulter falls with an initial vertical velocity of u = 0.
If the velocity upon hitting the pad is v, then
v² = 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s
The pole vaulter comes to res after the pad compresses by 50 cm (or 0.5 m).
If the average acceleration (actually deceleration) is (a m/s²), then
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.5 m)
a = - 82.32/(2*0.5) = - 82 m/s²
Answer: - 82 m/s² (or a deceleration of 82 m/s²)
A falling skydiver opens his parachute. A short time later, the weight of the skydiver-parachute system and the drag force exerted on the system are equal in magnitude. The following statements predicts the motion of the skydiver at this time
<u>The skydiver is moving downward with constant speed.</u>
Explanation:
Immediately on leaving the aircraft, the skydiver accelerates downwards due to the force of gravity. There is no air resistance acting in the upwards direction, and there is a resultant force acting downwards. The skydiver accelerates towards the ground.
The forces acting on a falling leaf are : gravity and air resistance.
The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward.
An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.
As the speed decreases, the amount of air resistance also decreases until once more the skydiver reaches a terminal velocity.
<u>A skydiver falling at a constant speed opens his parachute. When the skydiver is falling, the forces are unbalanced.</u>
