You traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Initial velocity, U = 31.3 m/s  
  • Time, t = 8.5 seconds.

We know that acceleration due to gravity (a) for an object is equal to 9.8 meter per seconds square.

To find the distance traveled, we would use the second equation of motion:

Mathematically, the second equation of motion is given by the formula;

S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Where:

  • S is the distance travelled.
  • u is the initial velocity.
  • a is the acceleration.
  • t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

S = 31.3(8.5) + \frac{x}{y} (9.8)(8.5^2)\\\\S = 266.05 + 4.9(72.25)\\\\S = 266.05 + 354.025

<em>Distance, S</em><em> = </em><em>620.075 meters.</em>

Therefore, you traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.

Queremos un cilindro de simple efecto que utilice en su funcionamiento un volumen de aire a presión atmosférica de 13,122 litros
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1) El diámetro es de aproximadamente 913,987 cm.

2) La fuerza del cilindro es 5576850 kgf

Explanation:

1) Los parámetros dados son;

El volumen del aire = 13,122 litros = 13122000 cm³

La presión de trabajo = 8.5 kgf / cm²

La longitud del cilindro = 20 cm.

Por lo tanto, tenemos;

El área de la base del cilindro = π · r² = 13122000 cm³ / (20 cm) = 656100 cm²

r = √ (656100 / π) ≈ 456,994 cm

El diámetro = 2 × r ≈ 2 × 456.994 ≈ 913.987 cm

El diámetro ≈ 913,987 cm

2) La fuerza del cilindro = El área de la base del cilindro × La presión de trabajo

∴ La fuerza del cilindro = 656100 cm² × 8.5 kgf / cm² = 5576850 kgf

La fuerza del cilindro = 5576850 kgf

An accepted value for the acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 m/s2. In an experiment with pendulums, you calculate that the val
Fed [463]

g Generally the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 m/s^2

as per the question the acceleration due to gravity is found to be 9.42m/s^2 in an experiment performed.

the difference between the ideal and observed value is 0.381.

hence the error is -\frac{0.381}{9.801} *100

                                                            =3.88735 percent

the error is not so high,so it can be  accepted.

now we have to know why this occurs-the equation of time period of the simple pendulum is give as-T=2\pi\sqrt[2]{l/g}

                                                      g=4\pi^2\frac{l}{T^2}

As the experiment is done under air resistance,so it will affect to the time period.hence the time period will be more which in turn decreases the value of g.

if this experiment is done in a environment of zero air resistance,we will get the value of g which must be approximately equal to 9.801  m/s^2

What happens when two forces act in the same direction?
solmaris [256]

When two forces act in the same direction, they add together. ... Equal forces acting in opposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the net force is zero.

What is the strength of the electric field 3.0 cm from a small glass bead that has been charged to + 8.0 nc ?
Debora [2.8K]
Thinking the small glass bead as a single point charge, the electric field generated by it is given by
E(r) = k_e  \frac{Q}{r^2}
where
k_e = 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant
Q=8.0 nC=8.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C is the charge of the bead
r=3.0 cm=0.03 m is the distance at which we calculate the field.

Using these data, we find:
E=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} ) \frac{(8.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{0.03 m)^2}=8.0 \cdot 10^4 N/C
