A motorcycle that is slowing down uniformly. The motorcycle covers 1 ????m=1000 m in 80 sec⁡. The motorcycle then covers the nex

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Part a)

acceleration = -0.042 m/s/s

Part b)

initial speed = 14.17 m/s

final speed = 5.77 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Let the initial velocity of the motorcycle is

$v_i = v_o$

now at the end of 80 s let the speed is

$v_f = v_1$

after another 120 s let the speed will be

$v_f' = v_2$

now we know that

$d = \frac{v_i + v_f}{2} (t)$

$d = \frac{v_o + v_1}{2}(80)$

$1000 = 40(v_o + v_1)$

also we know that

$v_1 - v_o = a(80)$

also we have

$1000 = \frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}(120)$

$1000 = 60(v_1 + v_2)$

now we can say

$(v_2 + v_1) - (v_o + v_1) = \frac{50}{3} - \frac{50}{2}$

also we know

$v_2 - v_o = a(120 + 80)$

$-8.33 = 200 a$

$a = -0.042 m/s^2$

Part b)

now we have

$v_1 + v_o = 25$

$v_1 - v_o = (-0.042)(80)$

$v_1 = 10.83 m/s$

so the starting velocity of the trip is

$v_o = 25 - 10.83 = 14.17 m/s$

now speed after t = 200 s is given as

$v_2 = v_o + at$

$v_2 = 14.17 - (0.042)(200)$

$v_2 = 5.77 m/s$

(b) A piece of wood of volume 0.6 m² floats in water. Find the volume

enot [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume below water be v . Then

buoyant force = v d g where d is density of water , g is acceleration due to gravity

= v x 1000 x g

weight of wood piece = volume x density of wood x g

= .6 x 600 x g

for equilibrium while floating

buoyant force = weight

= v x 1000 x g = .6 x 600 x g

v = .36 m²

volume above water or volume exposed = .6 - .36

= .24 m²

When immersed completely ,

buoyant force = .6 x 1000 x 9.8

= 5880 N

weight of wood

= .6 x 600 x g

= 3528 N

buoyant force is more than the weight . In order to equalise them for floating with full volume in water

weight required = 5880 - 3528

= 2352 N.

Explain the significance of kelvin temperature scole.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The Kelvin temperature scale is used by scientists because they wanted a temperature scale where zero reflects the complete absence of thermal energy. ... Many quantum mechanical properties are washed out by the thermal agitation that occurs in materials.

How is mirage formed

Triss [41]

Answer:

Mirages are formed when the ground is really hot and the air is really cold. The hot ground will warm a layer of the air closest to the ground. When the light moves through the cold air and hits the warm air it bends creating the U shaped bend
