Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction calculates to 0.165.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed = 3.25 m/s

Distance traveled = 3.25 m

We must figure out the acceleration

Applying the third equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

Where a = acceleration

u = starting velocity

v = ending velocity

s = distance

Insert the values into the formula

$a=\dfrac{-(3.25)^2}{2\times3.25}$

$a=-1.625\ m/s^2$

The negative sign indicates deceleration

Next, we calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Using the frictional force

$F_{k} =k mg$ ....(I)

Where k = kinetic friction coefficient

m = mass

g = gravitational acceleration

Utilizing Newton's second law

$F = ma$ ....(II)

Setting equations (I) and (II) equal to each other

$k mg=ma$

$k=\dfrac{a}{g}$

$k=\dfrac{1.625}{9.8}$

$k=0.165$

Thus, the coefficient of kinetic friction is determined to be 0.165.

Liam throws a water balloon horizontally at 8.2 m/s out of a window 18 m from the ground.

Yuliya22 [2420]

The time required for the water balloon to reach the ground is given as

$h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Here we understand that

$h = 18 m$

$g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Now applying the earlier mentioned formula

$18 = \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2$

$18 = 4.9 t^2$

$t = 1.92 s$

Now in the same time frame, we can conclude the distance covered will be

$d = v_x * t$

$d = 8.2 * 1.92 = 15.7 m$

Thus, it will land at a distance of 15.7 m from where it started

The flight of a kicked football follows the quadratic function f(x)=−0.02x2+2.2x+2, where f(x) is the vertical distance in feet

Keith_Richards [2256]

The ball covers a horizontal distance of 0.902 meters. The trajectory of a kicked football adheres to a quadratic equation expressed as: f(x), where f(x) indicates the vertical distance in feet, and x signifies how far the ball travels horizontally. To compute the distance the ball will advance before striking the ground, we set the condition f(x) = 0. Upon solving this quadratic equation, we find that the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is: x = -0.902 meters, leading us to conclude that it travels 0.902 meters across the field.

A brick is dropped (zero initial speed) from the roof of a building. The brick strikes the ground in 1.90 s. You may ignore air

Sav [2226]

Answer:

Height (h) = 17 m

Velocity (v) = 18.6 m/s

Explanation: This problem can be solved using kinematic motion equations.

Given Data

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Acceleration (a) = g

Time (t) = 1.9 seconds

First, we calculate the height.

$s=ut+0.5at^2\\h=ut+0.5at^2\\h=0*1.9+0.5*9.81*1.9^2\\h=17.707 m$

Then, we find the final velocity

$v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*1.9\\v=18.639$

The acceleration graph is a linear representation described by y=9.8, as it remains constant:

The velocity graph can be represented by y=9.8x (where y signifies velocity and x indicates time):

The displacement graph can be described as y=4.9x^2 (with x as time and y as displacement):

These graphs apply exclusively from x=0 to x=1.9, so disregard other sections of the graphs.
