The seatbelt across your chest should have about ________ fist width of slack.

Physics

It should have 1 or even less. Modern seat-belts have almost no slack when the sensors detect that the seat-belt has been rapidly expanded. This is done so to hold you in place and prevent you from slamming against the seat-belt if you have a collision at high speeds.

Which statement is true of AC current?. Select one of the options below as your answer:. . A.. It uses a battery as a power sour
Nonamiya [84]
<span>The answer is B. It can be converted from high to low voltage and vice versa using transformers. That is why high voltages (tens or hundreds of kilovolts) is used to efficiently transfer electricity for large distances and then converted to 110-240V.

The answer can also be derived by elimination. [A] is not right because battery provides only Direct Current (DC). [C] is not right because high voltages are used for AC (from 110V to hundreds of kilovolts). [D] is not right because as the name Alternating Current suggests, the current is alternating in its direction. [E] is not right because DC was the first type of current invented.</span>

A cart moves along a track at a velocity of 3.5 cm/s. When a force is applied to the cart, its velocity increases to 8.2 cm/s. I
Lorico [155]

Answer:

3.13cm/s²

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity u = 3.5cm/s

Final velocity v = 8.2cm/s

Time t = 1.5secs

Required

Acceleration of the cart a

To get that, we will use the equation of motion

v = u+at

Substitute the given parameters

8.2 = 3.5+1.5a

1.5a = 8.2-3.5

1.5a = 4.7

a = 4.7/1.5

a = 3.13cm/s²

Hence the acceleration to the cart is 3.13cm/s²

How do I do these? My teacher didn’t show us how.
melisa1 [442]

Explanation:

Displacement is simply the change in position.  So in the first part of problem 1, looking at the graph between 0 s and 2 s, the position changes from 0 m to -4 m.  So the displacement is:

Δx =  -4 m − 0 m

Δx = -4 m

Between 2 s and 4 s, the position stays at -4 m.  The displacement is:

Δx = -4 m − (-4 m)

Δx = 0 m

Finally, between 4 s and 6 s, the position goes from -4 m to 6 m.  The displacement is:

Δx = 6 m − (-4 m)

Δx = 10 m

The net displacement is the change in position from 0 s to 6 s:

Δx = 6 m − 0 m

Δx = 6 m

In the second part of problem 1, we have a velocity vs time graph.

Car 1 starts with 0 velocity and ends with a velocity of 6 m/s, so it is accelerating and constantly moving to the right.

Car 2 starts with a velocity of -6 m/s and ends with a velocity of 6 m/s.  It is also accelerating, but first it is moving to the left, comes to a stop at t = 3 s, then moves to the right.

Car 3 starts with a velocity of 2 m/s and ends with a velocity of 2 m/s.  So it is moving constantly to the right, but never speeds up or slows down.

We want to know when two of the cars meet.  Unfortunately, this isn't as easy as looking for where the lines cross on the graph.  We need to calculate their displacements.  We can do this by finding the area under the graph (assuming all the cars start from the same point).

Let's start with Car 2.  Half of the area is below the x-axis, and half is above.  Without doing calculations, we can say the total displacement for this car is 0.  This means it ends back up where it started, and that it never meets either of the other cars, both of which have positive displacements.

So we know Car 1 and Car 3 meet, we just have to find where and when.  For Car 1, the area under the curve is a triangle.  So its displacement is:

Δx = ½ t v(t)

where t is the time and v(t) is the velocity of Car 1 at that time.  Since the line has a slope of 1 and y intercept of 0, we know v(t) = t.  So:

Δx = ½ t²

Now look at Car 3.  The area under the curve is a rectangle.  So its displacement is:

Δx = 2t

When the two cars have the same displacement:

½ t² = 2t

t² = 4t

t² − 4t = 0

t (t − 4) = 0

t = 0, 4

t = 0 refers to the time when both cars are at the starting point, so t = 4 is the answer we're looking for.  Where are the cars at this time?  Simply plug in t = 4 into either of the equations we found:

Δx = 8

So Cars 1 and 3 meet at 4 s and 8 m.

How are emotional and intellectual health related
Tcecarenko [31]
A good way to think about mental and emotional health is like a tag team. Mental health refers to your ability to process information. Emotional health, on the other hand, refers to your ability to express feelings which are based upon the information you have processed.
