Part A:
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the difference of the initial and final velocities by the given time. That is,
a = (Vf - Vi) / t
where a is acceleration,
Vf is final velocity,
Vi is initial velocity, and
t is time
Substituting,
a = (9 m/s - 0 m/s) / 3 s = 3 m/s²
<em>ANSWER: 3 m/s²</em>
Part B:
From Newton's second law of motion, the net force is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration,
F = m x a
where F is force,
m is mass, and
a is acceleration
Substituting,
F = (80 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 240 kg m/s² = 240 N
<em>ANSWER: 240 N </em>
Part C:
The distance that the sprinter travel is calculated through the equation,
d = V₀t + 0.5at²
Substituting,
d = (0 m/s)(3 s) + 0.5(3 m/s²)(3 s)²
d = 13.5 m
<em>ANSWER: d = 13.5 m</em>
Answer:
μ =tanθ
Explanation:=
The ratio of the force of static friction and the normal reaction is equal to tanθ. F=mgsinθ. R = mgcosθ.
μ=tanθ
Answer:
0.661 s, 5.29 m
Explanation:
In the y direction:
Δy = 2.14 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
Find: t
Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²
(2.14 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²
t = 0.661 s
In the x direction:
v₀ = 8 m/s
a = 0 m/s²
t = 0.661 s
Find: Δx
Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²
Δx = (8 m/s) (0.661 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.661 s)²
Δx = 5.29 m
Round as needed.
