Acceleration of an object is depended upon the net force acting open the object and the mass of the object
The acceleration of the car is solved by subtracting the initial speed from the final speed then dividing the result by the elapsed time.
initial speed = 72 km/hr = 20 m/s
final speed = 0 m/s
elapsed time = 5 seconds
acceleration = (0 m/s – 20 m/s) / 5 s
acceleration = - 20m/s / 5 s
acceleration = -4 m/s^2
Solution:
Let the slope of the best fit line be represented by '
'
and the slope of the worst fit line be represented by '
'
Given that:
= 1.35 m/s
= 1.29 m/s
Then the uncertainity in the slope of the line is given by the formula:
(1)
Substituting values in eqn (1), we get
= 0.03 m/s
Explanation:
A metal such as copper is a <u>conductor</u> because it provides a pathway for electric charges to move easily. A material such as rubber is an <u>insulator</u> because it <u>resists</u> the flow of electric charges. A material that partially conducts electric current is a <u>semiconductor</u>. These materials include <u>group 3 and group 5</u> elements.
Let k = the force constant of the spring (N/m).
The strain energy (SE) stored in the spring when it is compressed by a distance x=0.35 m is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
= 0.5*(k N/m)*(0.35 m)²
= 0.06125k J
The KE (kinetic energy) of the sliding block is
KE = (1/2)*mass*velocity²
= 0.5*(1.8 kg)*(1.9 m/s)²
= 3.249 J
Assume that negligible energy is lost when KE is converted into SE.
Therefore
0.06125k = 3.249
k = 53.04 N/m
Answer: 53 N/m (nearest integer)
