Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:

 x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a          (EQUATION 1)

vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a             (EQUATION 2)

Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2

creativ13 [48]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

a=5.54m/s^2

v(final velocity)=2 m/s

v=u +at

Where v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration.

t is the time

2=0+5.54t

t=2/5.54

t=0.36 sec

deff fn [24]

Answer: 62 μT

Explanation:

Given

Length of rod, l = 1.33 m

Velocity of rod, v = 3.19 m/s

Induced emf, e = 0.263*10^-3 V

Using Faraday's law, the induced emf of a rod can be gotten by the formula

e = blv where,

e = induced emf of the rod

b = magnetic field of the rod

l = length of the rod

v = velocity of the rod. On substituting, we have

0.263*10^-3 = b * 1.33 * 3.19

0.263*10^-3 = b * 4.2427

b = 0.263*10^-3 / 4.2427

b = 0.0000620 T

b = 62 μT

Thus, the strength of the magnetic field is 62 μT

A ball is released at a velocity of 400 m/s at an angle of 85 degrees from the horizontal. How far does it travel horizontally b
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

8000

Explanation:

V²=U²+2as

V=400m/s

U=0

a=10

s=?

(400)²=(0)²+2*10*a

160,000=20s

s=160,000/20

s=8000
