An object moving at 15 m/s slows uniformly at a rate of 2.0 m/s each second for 5.0 s. What is its final speed?

1 answer:

8 0

Hey there!

We are given ,

Acceleration, a = -2m/s^2

Initial velocity , u = 15m/s

Time , t = 5 seconds

We know that ,
V=u+at

Now , final speed ,

V = 15+(-2)(5)

V = 15-10

V = 5 m/s -> final speed

Hope this helps you dear :)
Have a good day <3

Atoms of element A decay to atoms of element B with a half-life of 20,000 years. If there are 10,000 atoms of A to begin with (a

oee [108]

T = half life period of decay for atoms of element A = 20,000 years

N₀ = initial number of atoms of element A = 10,000 atoms

N = final number of atoms after time "t" = 2500 atoms

t = time of decay = ?

λ = decay constant = ?

decay constant is given as

λ = 0.693/T

λ = 0.693/20,000

λ = 0.00003465 years⁻¹

atoms after decay for time "t" is given as

N = N₀ $e^{-\lambda t}$

inserting the values

2500 = (10000) $e^{-(0.00003465) t}$

t = 40,000 years

so correct choice is

B) 40,000 years

A 95.0kg weightlifter pushes on a 800,000 kg wall for 400s but it does not move. How much work does he do on the wall?

Soloha48 [4]

The weightlifter does no work. Although he has exerted force, work is the product of force over distance. Since he has not moved the wall he has done no work.
