Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s

ame location as Rock X. Both rocks fall for several seconds before landing on the ground directly below the cliff. Frictional forces are considered to be negligible. After Rock Y is released from rest several seconds after Rock X is released from rest, what happens to the separation distance S between the rocks as they fall but before they reach the ground, and why? Take the positive direction to be downward.

Answer:

Separation increases at all times that rock X falls because it falls with a greater speed

Explanation:

For both rocks, let initial velocity ∪=0

To find the displacement at any given time interval of Δt then

S= ∪Δt +0.5gΔt²

Since rock X is first released followed by Y, then X has a greater speed than Y therefore the distance covered by X is longer. This is because despite 0.5gΔt² being same for both rocks at any time Δt but rock X having already attained some velocity, its ∪Δt  is more hence the separation S increases. Conclusively, S increases at all times that rock X falls since rock X falls with a greater velocity than rock Y

On an amusement park ride, passengers are seated in a horizontal circle of radius 7.5 m. The seats begin from rest and are unifo
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a = 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Applying the definition of angular acceleration, as the rate of change of the angular acceleration, and as the seats begin from rest, we can get the value of the angular acceleration, as follows:

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

⇒ ωf = α*t ⇒ α = \frac{wf}{t} = \frac{1.4 rad/s}{21 s} = 0.067 rad/s2

The angular velocity, and the linear speed, are related by the following expression:

v = ω*r

Applying the definition of linear acceleration (tangential acceleration in this case) and angular acceleration, we can find a similar relationship between the tangential and angular acceleration, as follows:

a = α*r⇒ a = 0.067 rad/sec²*7.5 m = 0.5 m/s²

An automobile accelerates from zero to 30 m/s in 6.0 s. The wheels have a diameter of 0.40 m. What is the average angular accele
leva [86]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to angular motion equations. Therefore we will have that the angular acceleration will be equivalent to the change in the angular velocity per unit of time.

Later we will use the relationship between linear velocity, radius and angular velocity to find said angular velocity and use it in the mathematical expression of angular acceleration.

The average angular acceleration

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_0}{t}

Here

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\omega_{f,i} = Initial and final angular velocity

There is not initial angular velocity,then

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f}{t}

We know that the relation between the tangential velocity with the angular velocity is given by,

v = r\omega

Here,

r = Radius

\omega = Angular velocity,

Rearranging to find the angular velocity

\omega = \frac{v}{r}}

\omega = \frac{30}{0.20} \rightarrow Remember that the radius is half te diameter.

Now replacing this expression at the first equation we have,

\alpha = \frac{30}{0.20*6}

\alpha = 25 rad /s^2

Therefore teh average angular acceleration of each wheel is 25rad/s^2

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea
madreJ [45]
In order to answer this exercise you need to use the formulas

 S = Vo*t + (1/2)*a*t^2

Vf = Vo + at

The data will be given as

Vf = final velocity = ?

Vo = initial velocity = 1.4 m/s

a = acceleration = 0.20 m/s^2

s = displacement = 100m

And now you do the following:

100 = 1.4t + (1/2)*0.2*t^2

t = 25.388s

and

Vf = 1.4 + 0.2(25.388)

Vf = 6.5 m/s

So the answer you are looking for is 6.5 m/s

An airplane travels horizontally at a constant velocity v. An object is dropped from the plane and one second later another obje
Delvig [45]

Answer:

the vertical distance between the two object will increase uniformly when they are dropped after a fixed interval of time

Explanation:

Since airplane is moving horizontally with constant speed v

so when object is dropped from the plane then the speed of the object will be same as that of the speed of the airplane

so we can say that two object when dropped after some interval of time then they always lie in same vertical line

now we know that they both have same acceleration in vertical line so the motion of two objects relative to each other in vertical direction is always uniform motion because they have no acceleration with respect to each other

So the vertical distance between the two object will increase uniformly when they are dropped after a fixed interval of time
