Answer:
3/4 0r 0.75
Explanation:
Let E represent the extra cash.
Let R represent the amount raised.
From the question given above, we can say that:
The extra cash (E) is directly proportional to the amount raised (R) i.e
Extra cash (E) ∝ Amount raised (R)
E ∝ R
E = KR
NOTE: K is the constant of proportionality.
With the above formula, we can obtain the value of K as follow:
Extra cash (E) = $ 75
Amount raised (R) = $ 100
Constant of proportionality (K) =?
E = KR
75 = K × 100
Divide both side by 100
K = 75/100
K = 3/4 0r 0.75
Thus, the constant of proportionality is 3/4 0r 0.75

A cheetah can run at a maximum speed
91 km/h and a gazelle can run at a maximum speed of 72.7 km/h.
If both animals are running at full speed,
with the gazelle 87.5 m ahead, how long before
the cheetah catches its prey?
Answer in units of s.
Answer:
Approximately 17.21 seconds
Explanation:
With subtraction, we have the gazelle 18.3 km/h slower than the cheetah, which is about 5.08333 m/s. As the gazelle is 87.5 meters ahead of the cheetah, 87.5 divided by 5.083333333 is about 17.21 seconds.
During a baseball game, a hitter strikes the ball with a bat. When this happens, the ball
and the bat exert a force on each other. Why does the ball accelerate away from the bat
more than the bat accelerates away from the ball?
a. The ball has less mass, so it exerts less force on the bat.
b. The bat exerts more force than the ball because the batter is exerting a force
on the bat as it hits the ball.
c. The ball has less mass, so the equal force on the ball and the bat causes
greater acceleration of the ball.
d. The ball has a greater velocity before the collision, so the force affects the ball
more than it affects the bat.
Answer:
The answer is c

2) A boat travels 12.0 m while it reduces its velocity from 9.5 m/s to 5.5 m/s. What is the
boat's acceleration while it travels that distance?
Answer:
2.5m/s^2
Explanation:
Note that the boat is reducing its speed. It is having negative acceleration or deceleration.
V^2 = u^2 -2as ( minus sign is used because of speed is reduced)
Given that,
s = 12 m
v = 5.5 m/s
u = 9.5 m/s
a = (v^2 - u^2) ÷ (-2s)
a= ( 5.5^2 - 9.5^2) ÷ ( -2× 12)
a = 2.5 m/s^2
The acceleration of the boat is -2.5 m/s²
The given paramters;
distance traveled by the boat, d = 12 m
initial velocity of the boat, u = 9.5 m/s
final velocity of the boat, v = 5.5 m/s
The acceleration of the boat is calculated as;
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\2as = v^2 - u^2\\\\a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s} \\\\a = \frac{(5.5)^2 -(9.5)^2 }{2(12)} \\\\a = -2.5 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Thus, the deceleration of the boat is 2.5 m/s²

Your car is initially at rest when your hit that gas and the car begins to accelerate at a rate of 2.857 m/s/s. The acceleration lasts for 15.5 s. What is the final speed of the car and how much ground does it cover during this acceleration?
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 0m/s
Acceleration = 2.857m/s²
Time = 15.5s
Unknown:
Final speed of the car = ?
Solution:
We use one of the motion equations to solve this problem;
V = U + at
Where V is the final velocity
U is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time taken
V = 0 + 2.857 x 15.5 = 44.28m/s
A 1.10-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Figure a). The object has a speed of vi = 2.60 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Figure b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Figure c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Figure d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Figure e).
The right end of a horizontal spring labeled k is attached to a wall. Five images show five configurations as a block labeled m approaches, compresses, and then moves away from the spring.
In figure a, the block is to the left of the spring, and an arrow above the block points to the right.
In figure b, the block is just touching the uncompressed spring, and an arrow labeled vector vi above the block points to the right.
In figure c, the block has compressed the spring by a distance d, and a label indicates vector vf = 0.
In figure d, the block is just touching the uncompressed spring, and an arrow labeled vector v above the block points to the left.

(d)
What If? If the object becomes attached securely to the end of the spring when it makes contact, what is the new value of the distance D (in m) at which the object will come to rest after moving to the left?
m
Answer:
(a) Approximately [tex]0.335\; \rm m[/tex].
(b) Approximately [tex]1.86\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}[/tex].
(c) Approximately [tex]0.707\; \rm m[/tex].
(d) Approximately [tex]0.228\; \rm m[/tex].
Explanation:
[tex]v_i[/tex] denotes the velocity of the object in the first diagram right before it came into contact with the spring. Let [tex]m[/tex] denote the mass of the block. Let [tex]\mu[/tex] denote the constant of kinetic friction between the object and the surface. Let [tex]g[/tex] denote the constant of gravitational acceleration.Let [tex]k[/tex] denote the spring constant of this spring.(a)Consider the conversion of energy in this object-spring system.
First diagram: Right before the object came into contact with the spring, the object carries kinetic energy [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot {v_{i}}^2[/tex].
Second diagram: As the object moves towards the position in the third diagram, the spring gains elastic potential energy. At the same time, the object loses energy due to friction.
Third diagram: After the velocity of the object becomes zero, it has moved a distance of [tex]D[/tex] and compressed the spring by the same distance.
Energy lost to friction: [tex]\underbrace{(\mu \cdot m \cdot g)}_{\text{friction}} \cdot D[/tex]. Elastic potential energy that the spring has gained: [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\,k\, D^2[/tex].The sum of these two energies should match the initial kinetic energy of the object (before it comes into contact with the spring.) That is:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot {v_{i}}^{2} = (\mu\cdot m \cdot g) \cdot D + \frac{1}{2}\, k \cdot D^2[/tex].
Assume that [tex]g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}[/tex]. In the equation above, all symbols other than [tex]D[/tex] have known values:
[tex]m =1.10\; \rm kg[/tex].[tex]v_i = 2.60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex].[tex]\mu = 0.250[/tex].[tex]g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}[/tex].[tex]k = 50.0\; \rm N \cdot m^{-1}[/tex].Substitute in the known values to obtain an equation for [tex]D[/tex] (where the unit of [tex]D\![/tex] is [tex]m[/tex].)
[tex]3.178 = 2.69775\, D + 25\, D^2[/tex].
[tex]2.69775\, D + 25\, D^2 + 3.178 = 0[/tex].
Simplify and solve for [tex]D[/tex]. Note that [tex]D > 0[/tex] because the energy lost to friction should be greater than zero.
[tex]D \approx 0.335\; \rm m[/tex].
(b)The energy of the object-spring system in the third diagram is the same as the elastic potential energy of the spring:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\,k\, D^2 \approx 2.81\; \rm J[/tex].
As the object moves to the left, part of that energy will be lost to friction:
[tex](\mu \cdot m \cdot g) \, D \approx 0.905\; \rm J[/tex].
The rest will become the kinetic energy of that block by the time the block reaches the position in the fourth diagram:
[tex]2.81\; \rm J - 0.905\; \rm J \approx 1.91\; \rm J[/tex].
Calculate the velocity corresponding to that kinetic energy:
[tex]\displaystyle v =\sqrt{\frac{2\, (\text{Kinetic Energy})}{m}} \approx 1.86\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex].
(c)As the object moves from the position in the fourth diagram to the position in the fifth, all its kinetic energy ([tex]1.91\; \rm J[/tex]) would be lost to friction.
How far would the object need to move on the surface to lose that much energy to friction? Again, the size of the friction force is [tex]\mu \cdot m \cdot g[/tex].
[tex]\displaystyle (\text{Distance Travelled}) = \frac{\text{(Work Done by friction)}}{\text{(Size of the Friction Force)}} \approx0.707\; \rm m[/tex].
(d)Similar to (a), solving (d) involves another quadratic equation about [tex]D[/tex].
Left-hand side of the equation: kinetic energy of the object (as in the fourth diagram,) [tex]1.91\; \rm J[/tex].
Right-hand side of the equation: energy lost to friction, plus the gain in the elastic potential energy of the spring.
[tex]\displaystyle {1.91\; \rm J} \approx (\mu\cdot m \cdot g) \cdot D + \frac{1}{2}\, k \cdot D^2[/tex].
[tex]25\, D^2 + 2.69775\, D - 1.90811\approx 0[/tex].
Again, [tex]D > 0[/tex] because the energy lost to friction is greater than zero.
[tex]D \approx 0.228\; \rm m[/tex].
The energy transferred between the object and the spring as a closed system, therefore, conserved are;
(a) The distance of compression, d ≈ 0.3354 meters
(b) The speed in the un-stretched position wen the object is sliding to the left, v ≈ 1.8623 m/s
(c) The distance where the object comes to rest, D ≈ 0.7071 m
(d) The distance the object will come to rest attached to the spring, D ≈ 0.2278 m
The reason the above values are correct are as follows;
The known parameters are;
Mass of the object, m₁ = 1.10 kg
Coefficient of friction, μ = 0.250
The initial speed of the object, [tex]v_i[/tex] = 2.60 m/s
Force constant of the spring, K = 50.0 N/m
Distance the spring is compressed by the object = d
(a) Conservation of energy principle
[tex]Kinetic \ energy = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m\cdot v^2[/tex]
Work done = Force × Distance
Friction force, [tex]F_f[/tex] = W × μ
Weight, W = m·g
Weight = Mass × Acceleration
Energy transferred by object = Work done by spring + Work done by friction
[tex]Energy \ transferred \ by \ object = Kinetic \ energy = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1.10\times 2.60^2 = 3.718[/tex]
Energy transferred by object = 3.718 J
[tex]Work \ done \ by \ spring = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot k\cdot x^2[/tex]
[tex]Work \ by \ spring \ to \ bring \ object \ to \ rest, \ W_{spring} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 50\times d^2[/tex]
[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 25·d²
Work done by friction, [tex]W_{friction}[/tex] = 1.10×9.81×0.250×d = 2.69775·d
Therefore;
3.718 = 25·d² + 2.69775·d
25·d² + 2.69775·d - 3.718 = 0
Solving gives
The distance of the compression d ≈ 0.3354 m
(b) The energy given by the spring = 25·d²
The work done by friction, [tex]W_{friction}[/tex] = 2.69775·d
Kinetic energy given to object = 0.55·v²
0.55·v² = 25·d² - 2.69775·d
0.55·v² = 25×0.3354² - 2.69775×0.3354
∴ v = √(3.4682) = 1.8623
The velocity of the object at the un stretched position, v ≈ 1.8623 m/s
(c) The kinetic energy, K.E. of the object on the way left is given as follows;
K.E. = 0.5 × 1.10 kg × 3.4682 m²/s² = 1.90751 J
The work done by friction before object comes to rest = 2.69775·D
[tex]D = \dfrac{1.90751 \, J}{2.69775 \, N} \approx 0.7071 \, m[/tex]
The distance where the object comes to rest, D ≈ 0.7071 m
(d) The work done on spring, [tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 25·D'²
Work done on friction, [tex]W_{friction}[/tex] = 2.69775·D'
Kinetic energy of object, K.E. ≈ 1.90751 J
K.E. = [tex]W_{spring}[/tex] + [tex]W_{friction}[/tex]
1.90751 ≈ 25·D'² + 2.6775·D'
25·D'² + 2.6775·D' - 1.90751 = 0
Solving with a graphing calculator gives;
D' ≈ 0.2278 m
The new value of the distance D = 0.2278 m

A block is attached to one end of a spring with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The block is vibrating horizontally on a frictionless surface. If the mass of the block is 4.0 kg, the spring constant is k
Complete Question
A block is attached to one end of a spring with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The block is vibrating horizontally on a frictionless surface. If the mass of the block is 4.0 kg, the spring constant is k = 100 N/m, and the maximum distance of the block from the equilibrium position is 20 cm, what is the speed of the block at an instant when it is a distance of 16 cm from the equilibrium position?
Answer:
The velocity is [tex]v = 0.6 \ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the block is m = 4.0 kg
The spring constant is k = 100 N/m
The maximum distance of the block from equilibrium position is d = 20 cm =0.20 m
The distance considered is [tex]d_k = 16 \ cm = 0.16 \ m[/tex]
Generally the maximum energy stored in the spring is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = \frac{1}{2} * k * d^2[/tex]
=> [tex]E = \frac{1}{2} *100 * 0.2^2[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 2.0 \ J[/tex]
Gnerally according to the law of energy conservation
The energy maximum energy of the spring = energy of the spring at [tex]d_k[/tex] + energy of the block at [tex]d_k[/tex]
Here energy of the block at [tex]d_k[/tex] is mathematically represented as
[tex]K_1 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]
=> [tex]K_1 = \frac{1}{2} * 4* v^2[/tex]
=> [tex]K_1 = 2v^2[/tex]
Generally the energy of the spring at [tex]d_k[/tex] is mathematically represented as
[tex]E_2 =\frac{1}{2} * k * d_k^2[/tex]
=> [tex]E_2 =\frac{1}{2} * 100 * (0.16)^2[/tex]
=> [tex]E_2 =1.28 \ J[/tex]
So
[tex]2.0 = 1.28 + 2v^2[/tex]

A jet must reach a velocity of 75 m/s for takeoff. If the runway is
2100 meters long, what must the constant acceleration be?
Answer:
[tex]a=1.33\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Initialy, the jet is at rest, u = 0
Final velocity of the jet, v = 75 m/s
Distance, d = 2100 m
We need to find the acceleration of the jet. It is based on the concept of equation of kinematics. Using third equation of motion, w get :
[tex]v^2-u^2=2ad[/tex]
a is acceleration
[tex]75^2=2a\times 2100\\\\a=\dfrac{75^2}{2\times 2100}\\\\a=1.33\ m/s^2[/tex]

Contestants can use one of two 1.5 kg balls to try to hit the target and deflect it high enough to win a prize. Ball A will have an elastic collision and bounce back toward you while ball B will have a nearly perfectly inelastic collision, but rather than sticking to the target, the ball will just drop straight downward to the ground after the collision. You can throw each ball with a velocity of 12 m/s. You are the first to try the game and which ball should you throw? Calculate the expected height the target will reach after each is thrown.
Answer:
Height ball A will deflect the target is 2.65 m
Height ball A will deflectthe target is 2.2 m
Ball A, will deflect the target to greater height, thus i will throw ball A
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the target, m₁ = 5.00 kg
mass of the ball, m₂ = 1.5 kg
initial velocity of each throw, u = 12 m/s
Throwing ball A; apply the principle of conservation linear momentum for elastic collision;
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v₁m₁ + v₂m₂
The initial velocity of the target, u₁ = 0
The ball bounced back at the same speed, v₂ = -12 m/s
the velocity of the target after collision, = v₁
0 + 1.5 x 12 = v₁(5) + (-12 x 1.5)
18 = 5v₁ - 18
18 + 18 = 5v₁
36 = 5v₁
v₁ = 36/5
v₁ = 7.2 m/s
The vertical height reached by the target is given by;
v₁² = u₁² + 2gh
v₁² = 0 + 2gh
v₁² = 2gh
h = v₁² / 2g
h = (7.2)² / (2 x 9.8)
h = 2.65 m
Throwing ball B; apply the principle of conservation energy for the inelastic collision;
the kinetic energy of the ball will be converted to the potential energy of the target.
¹/₂m₁u₂² = mgh
¹/₂(1.5)(12)² = (5 x 9.8)h
108 = 49h
h = 108 / 49
h = 2.2 m
Ball A will deflect the target to greater height, thus i will throw ball A.
