A cart is driven by a large propeller or fan, which can accelerate or decelerate the cart. The cart starts out at the position x

= 0 m, with an initial velocity of +5.0 m/s and a constant acceleration due to the fan, The direction to the right is positive. The cart reaches a maximum position of x = +12.5 m, where it begins to travel in the negative direction. Find the acceleration of the cart.

Answer:

The acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion:

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*x

2*a*x = Vf^2 - Vi^2

a = (Vf^2 - Vi^2)/ 2*x

Where Vf is the final velocity of the cart, Vi is the initial velocity of the cart, a the acceleration of the cart and x the displacement of the cart.

Let x = Xf -Xi

Where Xf is the final position of the cart and Xi the initial position of the cart.

x = 12.5 - 0

x = 12.5

The cart comes to a stop before changing direction

Vf = 0 m/s

a = (0^2 - 5^2)/ 2*12.5

a = - 1 m/s^2

The cart is decelerating

Therefore the acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

If a 3-kg rabbit's leg muscles act as imperfectly elastic springs, how much energy will they hold if the rabbit lands from a hei
DiKsa [7]

Answer;

- 15 J

Explanation;

-Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position.

-For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m /s² at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.

Potential energy of the rabbit at the peak of its height is

PE = (3)(10)(0.5) = 15 J

(around 14.7 but because energy is lost, it is less than that)

A rocket exhausts fuel with a velocity of 1500m/s, relative to the rocket. It starts from rest in outer space with fuel comprisi
babunello [35]

Answer:

v= 2413.5 m/s

Explanation:

maximum change of speed of rocket

=(initial exhaust velocity)×ln [(initialmass/finalmass)]

let initial mass= m

final mass = m-m(4/5) = m/5

[since the 80% of mass which is fuel is exhausted]

V-0 = 1500 ln (1/0.2)

V= 1500×1.609 = 2413.5 m/s

therefore, its exhaust speed v= 2413.5 m/s

Upon impact, bicycle helmets compress, thus lowering the potentially dangerous acceleration experienced by the head. A new kind
Dimas [21]

Answer:

acceleration = -15.3g

Explanation:

given data

speed = 6.00 m/s.

thickness = 12

moves the entire = 12.0 cm

solution

we will use here equation that is

v² - u²  = 2 × a × s    ........................1

here v = 0 is the final velocity and u = 6.0 m/s is initial velocity and s= 0.12 m is the distance covered and a is the acceleration

so we put here value and get acceleration

a = \frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a = \frac{0^2-6^2}{2\times 0.12}

a = -150 m/s² ( negative sign means it is a deceleration )

and

acceleration in units of g  

a = \frac{-150}{9.8}

a = -15.3 g

Four wrestlers step on a scale for a tournament. Wrestler A weighs in at 170 pounds; wrestler B weighs in at 168 pounds; wrestle
OLga [1]
The force due to gravity is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity. Since the acceleration due to gravity is constant, we just have to rely on the comparison of their masses to determine the mass effect. Thus, the answer to this item is Wrestler C weighing 171 pounds.
