Answer:

a) 0 m/s

b) - 24 m/s

c)  - 68 m

Explanation:

Given:

Initial distance = - 4 m

Initial velocity, u = 4 m/s

1) acceleration, a = - 2 m/s² for time, t = 2 seconds

thus,

velocity after 2 seconds will be

from Newton's equation of motion

v = u + at

v = 4 + (-2) × 2

v = 0 m/s

2) Velocity after 2 second is the initial velocity for this case

given acceleration = - 6 m/s² for 4 seconds

thus,

final velocity, v = 0 + ( - 6 ) × 4 = - 24 m/s

here the negative sign depicts the velocity in opposite direction to the initial direction of motion

thus, velocity after 6 seconds = - 24 m/s

3) Now,

Total displacement in 6 seconds

= Displacement in 2 seconds + Displacement in 4 seconds

From Newton's equation of motion

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

where,  

s is the distance

u is the initial speed  

a is the acceleration

t is the time

thus,

= 0\times2+\frac{1}{2}\times(-2)\times2^2  + 0\times4+\frac{1}{2}\times-6\times4^2

= - 16 - 48

= - 64 m

Hence, the final displacement = - 64 - 4 = - 68 m

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco
Reika [66]

Answer:

t=750s

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt

x_f is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0

We have x_f_1=x_f_2. Thus, solving for t:

x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s

A 300 kg car initially travels with a velocity of 20 m/s to the right. A net force F acts on the car for 5 s, which causes the v
hram777 [196]

Answer:

<em>600N.</em>

Explanation:

From the question, we are to calculate the net force acting on the car.

According to Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

m is the mass of the car

a is the acceleration = change in velocity/Time

a = v-u/t

F = m(v-u)/t

v is the final velocity = 30m/s

u is the initial velocity = 20m/s

t is the time = 5secs

m = 300kg

Get the net force:

Recall that: F = m(v-u)/t

F  = 300(30-20)/5

F = 60(30-20)

F = 60(10)

<em>F = 600N</em>

<em>Hence the net force acting on the car is 600N.</em>

Heat is transferred from molecules with more kinetic energy to molecules with _________kinetic energy.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

low

Explanation:

the higher the kinetic energy, the More the vibration of molecules, thus heat is more on the side with highly vibrating molecules
