Three eyewitnesses at the scene of a car accident were asked how long the accident lasted. They responded with 11 seconds, 12 se

conds, and 11 seconds. The traffic camera recorded the accident and it actually lasted 7 seconds. What can be said about the times stated by the eyewitnesses?

A block is at rest on a plank whose angle can be varied. The angle is gradually increased from 0 deg. At 31.8°, the block starts
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

\mu_s = 0.62

\mu_k = 0.415

The motion of the block is downwards with acceleration 1.7 m/s^2.

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the acceleration using the kinematics equations. We will denote the direction along the incline as x-direction.

x - x_0 = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2\\3.4 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(2)^2\\a = 1.7~m/s^2

Newton’s Second Law can be used to find the net force applied on the block in the -x-direction.

F = ma\\F = 1.7m

Now, let’s investigate the free-body diagram of the block.

Along the x-direction, there are two forces: The x-component of the block’s weight and the kinetic friction force. Therefore,

F = mg\sin(\theta) - \mu_k mg\cos(\theta)\\1.7m = mg\sin(31.8) - \mu_k mg\cos(31.8)\\1.7 = (9.8)\sin(\theta) - mu_k(9.8)\cos(\theta)\\mu_k = 0.415

As for the static friction, we will consider the angle 31.8, but just before the block starts the move.

mg\sin(31.8) = \mu_s mg\cos(31.8)\\\mu_s = tan(31.8) = 0.62

3 a A motorcyclist starts from rest and reaches
andrew-mc [135]

The acceleration of the body is 2 m/s^2 while the deceleration is - 1.2 m/s^2.

<h3>What is the acceleration?</h3>

Let us recall that the acceleration is the change in the speed of a body with time. We have been told that the body accelerates for 3s and then decelerates to 2s. This implies that the total time that the object spent in motion is 5 s.

Thus;

v = u + at

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

t = time taken

v - u/t = a

a = 6 - 0/3

= 2 m/s^2

Again;

v - u/t = a

a = 0 - 6/5

a = - 1.2m/s^2

The diagram shows the flow of water through a hydroelectric power station. The falling water
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Explanation:

In the generation of energy from hydroelectric power station, the motion of water, and the turbines are paramount. The falling flowing water turns the blades of the turbine, which in-turn causes the movement of a coil within a strong magnetic field.

The motion of the coil which cuts the strong magnetic field induces current. Thus, the system generates electrical energy.

The equation that links kinetic energy (KE), mass (m) and speed (v) can be expressed as:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}
