Answer:

The distance traveled during its acceleration, d = 214.38 m

Explanation:

Given,

The object's acceleration, a = -6.8 m/s²

The initial speed of the object, u = 54 m/s

The final speed of the object, v = 0

The acceleration of the object is given by the formula,

a = (v - u) / t m/s²

∴ t = (v - u) / a

= (0 - 54) / (-6.8)

= 7.94 s

The average velocity of the object,

V = (54 + 0)/2

= 27 m/s

The displacement of the object,

d = V x t meter

= 27 x 7.94

= 214.38 m

Hence, the distance the object traveled during that acceleration is, a = 214.38 m

erica [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to gravity as an expression of a celestial body, as well as the use of concepts such as centripetal acceleration, angular velocity and period.

PART A) The expression to find the acceleration of the earth due to the gravity of another celestial body as the Moon is given by the equation

$g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

d = Distance

M = Mass

$R_{CM} =$ Radius earth center of mass

PART B) Using the same expression previously defined we can find the acceleration of the moon on the earth like this,

$g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}$

$g = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(7.35*10^{22})}{(3.84*10^8-4700*10^3)^2}$

$g = 3.4*10^{-5}m/s^2$

PART C) Centripetal acceleration can be found throughout the period and angular velocity, that is

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

At the same time we have that centripetal acceleration is given as

$a_c = \omega^2 r$

Replacing

$a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{T})^2 r$

$a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{26.3d(\frac{86400s}{1days})})^2 (4700*10^3m)$

$a_c = 3.34*10^{-5}m/s^2$

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal

Setler [38]

Answer

given,

mass of the ball = 3 kg

swing in vertical circle with radius = 2 m

work done by the gravity = ?

work done by the tension = ?

Work done by the gravity = - m g Δh

Δ h = 2 + 2 = 4 m

Work done by the gravity = $- 3 \times 9.8 \times 4$

= -117.6 J

work done by gravity is equal to -117.6 J

Work done by tension will be equal to zero.

Zero because tension is always perpendicular to velocity

work done by tension is equal to 0 J

Dentists' chairs are examples of hydraulic-lift systems. If a chair weighs 1400 N and rests on a piston with a cross-sectional a

NeX [460]

Answer:

Force applied to smaller cross section is

= 82.63 N

Explanation:

As we know

$F_2 A_1 = F_1 A_2$

where $F1, F2$ signifies the weight of the two chair in a hydraulic-lift system

And $A_1, A_2$ signifies the area of the two respective chairs in a hydraulic-lift system

Given -

$F2=1400$ N

$A1 =1220$ Square centimeter

$A_2 = 72$ Square centimeter

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

$1400 * 72 = F1 * 1220\\F2 = 82.63$

Force applied to smaller cross section is

= 82.63 N

A child blows a leaf straight up in the air from rest. The leaf accelerates at 1.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s^2}1.0 s 2 m1, point,

Neko [114]

Answer:

Time taken by the leaf to displace by 1.0 m distance is

$t = \sqrt2$ seconds

Explanation:

As we know that initial velocity of the leaf is given as

$v_i = 0$

now the acceleration upwards for the leaf is

$a = 1 m/s^2$

The displacement of leaf in upward direction is

d = 1 m

so now we have

$d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(1) t^2$

$t = \sqrt2$ seconds
