acceleration (a) = change in velocity / change in time

Δv = final velocity - initial velocity = 4 km/h - 42 km/h = -38 km/h

Δt = 4.75 s

convert km/h to m/s

-38/ 3.6 = -10.56 m/s

a = -10.56 m/s / 4.75 s = -2.23 m/s^2

A 2,300-kg truck is traveling down a highway at 32 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the truck?

kondor19780726 [428]

m = mass of the truck = 23 00 kg

v = speed of the truck down the highway = 32 m/s

K = kinetic energy of the truck = ?

kinetic energy of the truck down the highway is given as

K = (0.5) m v²

inserting the values

K = (0.5) (2300) (32)²

K = (0.5) (2300) (1024)

K = (1150) (1024)

K = 1177600 J

hence the kinetic energy of the truck comes out to be 1177600 J

Suppose the initial position of an object is zero, the starting velocity is 3 m/s and the final velocity was 10 m/s. The object

Nookie1986 [14]

Explanation:

We have,

The initial position of an object is zero.

The starting velocity is 3 m/s and the final velocity was 10 m/s.

The object moves with constant acceleration..

The area covered under the velocity-time graph gives displacement of the object. The correct option is "the area of the rectangle plus the area of the triangle under the line".

A parachutist falls 50.0 m without friction. When the parachute opens, he slows down at a rate of 67 m/s*2. If he reaches the gr

KIM [24]

Answer:

3.49 seconds

3.75 seconds

-43200 ft/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 50=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{50\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=3.19\ s$

Time the parachutist falls without friction is 3.19 seconds

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 50+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=31.32\ m/s$

Speed of the parachutist when he opens the parachute 31.32 m/s. Now, this will be considered as the initial velocity

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 11=31.32+9.81t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{11-31.32}{-67}=0.3\ s$

So, time the parachutist stayed in the air was 3.19+0.3 = 3.49 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2$

Now the initial velocity of the last half height will be the final velocity of the first half height.

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=at$

Since the height are equal

$\frac{1}{2}at^2=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}at^2=at1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow 0.5t^2-1.1t-0.605=0\\\Rightarrow 500t^2-1100t-605=0$

$t=\frac{11\left(1+\sqrt{2}\right)}{10},\:t=\frac{11\left(1-\sqrt{2}\right)}{10}\\\Rightarrow t=2.65, -0.45$

Time taken to fall the first half is 2.65 seconds

Total time taken to fall is 2.65+1.1 = 3.75 seconds.

When an object is thrown with a velocity upwards then the velocity of the object at the point to where it was thrown becomes equal to the initial velocity.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-240^2}{2\times \frac{8}{12}}\\\Rightarrow a=-43200\ ft/s^2$

Magnitude of acceleration is -43200 ft/s²

A small package is attached to a helium-filled balloon rising at 2 m/s. The package drops from the balloon when it is 14 meters

scZoUnD [109]

I would assume air resistance is negligible and so the acceleration of the package would be approximately 9.81 m/s².

Taking downwards as positive, use v²=u²+2as.
v²=(-2)²+2(9.81)(14)
v=16.7 m/s
