  • Concrete column
    beton The concrete column of the highway bridge has the shape of a block with dimensions of 1m x 0.8m x 25m. It should be lifted by crane to a height of 20m. What is the power of his engine if the lifting takes 2 minutes?
  • Cooker
    kWMeter A current of 2A passes through the immersion cooker at a voltage of 230V. What work do the electric field forces in 2 minutes?
  • The projectile
    ballistic The projectile was fired horizontally from a height of h = 25 meters above the ground at a speed of v0 = 250 m/s. Find the range and flight time of the projectile.
  • The shooter
    terc2 The shooter heard the impact of the bullet on the target in one second after the shot. The bullet was moving at an average speed of 500 m/s. Calculate with speed of sound of 340 m/s. Determine the distance of the target.
  • The run
    runners On the school playground, the student ran a 60 m track in 9.5 s. What is the average speed of his run?
  • Sound speed in Earth
    speed_1 Through the surface layers of the Earth, sound propagates 13 times faster than through air. During the geological survey, the charge exploded 1.7 km from the measuring station. How long does it take between the vibration of the soil at the measuring point
  • Electric work
    bulb Calculate the work done by the electric forces passing the current of 0.2 A through the bulb in 10 minutes if the bulb is connected to a 230 V power supply.
  • Harmonic oscillator
    kmity Calculate the total energy of a body performing a harmonic oscillating motion if its mass is 200 g, the amplitude of the deflection is 2 cm and the frequency is 5 Hz. Round the result to 3 decimal places.
  • Motorcycle engine
    motor_rpm The motorcycle engine has a constant power of 1.2 kW for 0.5 hours. How much work does the engine do? Express work in kWh and Ws units.
  • A particle
    integral_speed A particle moves in a straight line so that its velocity (m/s) at time t seconds is given by v(t) = 3t2-4t-4, t>0. Initially the particle is 8 meters to the right of a fixed origin. After how many seconds is the particle at the origin?
  • Up and down motion
    ballistic We throw the body from a height h = 5 m above the Earth vertically upwards v0 = 10 m/s. How long before we have to let the second body fall freely from the same height to hit the Earth at the same time?
  • Self-oscillation period
    lambda The water in the vessel carried by the boy has a self-oscillation period of 0.8 s. What is the size of the boy's movement speed when the length of the boy's step is 60 cm? Give the result in m/s.
  • The tourist
    cyclist_28 The tourist came started from the hostel at an average speed of 5km/h. Half an hour later, the bicyclist started along the same route at a speed of 20km/h. How many minutes will a cyclist catch up and how many kilometers will he go?
  • Two trains
    vlak_8 From station A, the freight train traveled at a speed of 40 km/h in 9h. When he drove 15km, the fast train started from station A in the same direction at a speed of 70km/h. When will it the freight train catch up?
  • Motion
    graf_pohyb The two bodies move in the same direction evenly in a straight line, at speeds of 5 cm/s and 10 cm/s. The movement of the first body started 2 seconds earlier than the movement of the second body, from a point located at a distance of 20 cm from the start
  • Deceleration of car
    cars The car has a speed of 60 km/h and after 100 m journey speed of 40 km/h. What is the deceleration of a car if we assume that its movement is constantly slowed down?
  • Candles
    sviecka Before Christmas, Eva bought two cylindrical candles - red and green. Red was 1 cm longer than green. She lit a red candle on Christmas Day at 5:30 p. M. , lit a green candle at 7:00 p. M. , and left them both on fire until they burned. At 9:30 p. M. , bo
  • Gravitation
    vodorovny_vrh From the top of the 80m high tower, the body is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 15 m/s. At what time and at what distance from the foot of the tower does the body hit the horizontal surface of the Earth? (use g = 10 ms-2)
  • The coal
    coal The coal stock would be enough to heat a larger room for 12 weeks, a smaller one for 18 weeks. It was heated for four weeks in both rooms, then only in a smaller one. How long was the coal stock enough?
  • A car
    car_31 A car weighing 1.05 tonnes driving at the maximum allowed speed in the village (50 km/h) hit a solid concrete bulkhead. Calculate height it would have to fall on the concrete surface to make the impact intensity the same as in the first case!
