Answer:
Acceleration = 4 m/s²
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Force = 8 N
Mass = 2 kg
To find the acceleration of the block;
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Acceleration = 4 m/s²
Answer:
70.6 mph
Explanation:
Car A mass= 1515 lb
Car B mass=1125 lb
Speed of car B is 46 miles/h
Distance before locking, d=19.5 ft
Coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.75
Initial momentum of car B=mv where m is mass and v is velocity in ft/s
46 mph*1.46667=67.4666668 ft/s
Initial momentum of car A is given by
where is velocity of A
Taking East as positive and west as negative then the sum of initial momentum is
The common velocity is represented as hence after collision, the final momentum is
From the law of conservation of linear momentum, sum of initial and final momentum equals each other hence
The acceleration of two cars
From kinematic equation
hence
Substituting the value of in equation
Given that,
Initial velocity , Vi = 0
Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²
Distance can be calculated as,
2as = Vf² - Vi²
2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²
s = 81.55 m
For half height, that is, s = 40.77m
Vf= ??
2as = Vf² - Vi²
2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²
Vf² = 800
Vf = 28.28 m/s
Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.
