It's okay, bro. Someone else will extend their helping hand. * you're my genius though (y)
No need. :p I got it.
a = F / m => a = -60N /30kg = -2m/s^2 (the force and acceleration are negative b/c the force opposes motion and the trolley slows down)
a = (change is velocity) / time => -2m/s^2 =[ v(f) - 3.0m/s] / 0.5s. Solving for V(f) we have: v(f) = 2m/s

Can somebody help me with this? It seems quite easy, cause its in number 5, but i couldn't figure out where to start from. Much help appreciated.

V2=U2+2as
V2=0+2*0.2*1000=400 'Change 1km to m' :)
V=Root of 400
V=20m/s :)

actually v square would be zero as it is the final speed, and you are finding the initial speed which is u.. You got the right answer in this case, but it could just as well have been wrong. u is initial and v is final

Hey, can someone please help me in the following mcq...

In a laboratory experiment in which a feather falls from rest in a long evacuated
vertical tube of length L.

The feather takes time T to fall from the top to the bottom of the tube.

How far will the feather have fallen from the top of the tube in time 0.50 T?
A 0.13 L B 0.25 L C 0.38 L D 0.50 L

Answer is B

thanks a lot!!

L = 1/2 aT^2

Only the time changes now, from T to 0.5 T..

s = 1/2 a 0.25T^2

L/s = 1/0.25
0.25L
