A car traveling at 14 m/s accelerates at 3.5 m/s² for 5 seconds. How much distance does it travel during that time?

Rainbow [258]

Answer: 113.75

Explanation:

You know

acceleration = a = 3.5 m/s²

time = t = 5 seconds

initial velocity = u = 14 m/s

Unknown is distance = s = ?

Use equation: s = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ at²

Substitute all the known values inside the equation:

s = (14*5) + 0.5 * 3.5 * 5²

s = 70 + 43.75 = 113.75 m

The car travels 113.75 metres.

A circle has an initial radius of 50ft when the radius begins decreasing at a rate of 2ft/s. what is the rate of change of the a

valkas [14]

The area of the circle with radius r is
A = πr²

The rate of change of area with respect to time is
$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dA}{dr} . \frac{dr}{dt} =2 \pi r. \frac{dr}{dt}$

The rate of change of the radius is given as
$\frac{dr}{dt} =-2 \, \frac{ft}{s}$
Therefore
$\frac{dA}{dt} =-4 \pi r \, \frac{ft^{2}}{s}$

When r = 10 ft, obtain
$\frac{dA}{dt}|_{r=10 \, ft} = -40 \pi \, \frac{ft^{2}}{s}$

Answer: - 40π ft²/s (or - 127.5 ft²/s)

A typical atomic polarizability is 1 × 10-40 (C·m)/(N/C). If the q in p = qs is equal to the proton charge e, what charge separa

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

Explanation:

Polarizability is the separation of electric charges in a structure, in the case of the atom it is the result of the separation of positive charges in the nucleus and the electrons in their orbits, macroscopically it is approximated by

p = q s

s = p / q

let's calculate

s = 1 10⁻⁴⁰ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

s = 0.625 10⁻²¹ m

s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

We see that the result is much smaller than the size of the atom, therefore this simplistic model cannot be taken to an atomic scale.

A skateboarder is accelerating forward. How would his acceleration change if he had more mass?

exis [7]

Answer:

If the force remains the same, the acceleration would decrease

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is given by

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

where

F is the force applied to the object

m is the mass of the object

As we see from the formula, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, if the force F remains constant, this means that if the mass of the skateboarder increases, then the acceleration will decrease.
