a car travelling at 50km/h from rest covers a distance of 10km in 40minutes. Calculate the acceleration​

Physics
1 answer:
Margarita [4]3 years ago

Answer:

9.67\cdot 10^{-3}m/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

For the car in this problem:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

v=50 km/h \cdot \frac{1000}{3600}=13.9 m/s is the final velocity

s = 10 km = 10 000 m is the displacement

Solving for a, we find:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{13.9^2}{2(10000)}=9.67\cdot 10^{-3}m/s^2

A car speeds up from 0 m/s to 14.0 m/s in 325 s. What is the acceleration?
Anton [14]

Answer: 0.04308 m/s^2

Explanation: Plug the variables into the equation: a=\frac{v-v_{0} }{t} | v equals initial speed, v_{0} equals final speed and t equals time.

Sounds travels in a ____ wave A. Transverse B. Compressional C. Surface D. Inverted
MissTica

Answer: A. Transverse

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical transverse wave, it travels faster in solids than in liquids or gases. This is because the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium.  

 

In addition, the speed of sound varies with changes in the temperature of the medium. This is because an increase in temperature means that the frequency of interactions between the particles that transport the vibration increases, hence this increase in activity increases the speed.

Hence:

A ball of 0.5kg slows down from 5m/s to 3m/s. Calculate the work done inthe process.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

9.8 Joules (rounded to 2 significant figures)

Explanation:

Work done (J)= Force(N) x distance changed (m)

  • Force= 9.80665 x 0.5kg
  • Force= 4.90332 Newtons

  • Distance changed= 5-3
  • distance changed= 2m/s

--> work done= 4.90332 x 2

work done= 9.8 Joules

To dry the brakes, drive slowly in __________ and apply light pressure on your brake pedal.
ira [324]
<span>The answer is low gear. To dry the brakes of a vehicle, one must driv slowly in low gear and apply light pressure on the vehicle's brake pedal. Dry brakes are less expensive and are cheap when it needs replacement, yet under pressure they may cause more damage to the system than wet brakes, which are better in terms of emergency.</span>

A student drops a ball off the top of building and records that the ball takes 3.32s to reach the ground (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What i
slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here's what we know because it was given to us:

a = -9.8 m/s/s and

time = 3.32 seconds

Here's what we know because we rock physics:

v₀ = 0 (because the object was held still before it was dropped).

Here's the equation that ties all that info together in a single one-dimensional equation:

v = v₀ + at

Filling in and solving for v:

v = 0 + (-9.8)(3.32) and

v = -33m/s

The velocity is negative because the object is moving downwards and up is positive (but you knew that already too!)
