A car is initially moving at 35 km/h along a straight highway. To pass another car, it speeds up to 135 km/h in 10.5 seconds at

a constant acceleration.
(a) how large was the acceleration in m/s ^2
(b)how large was the acceleration, in units go g= 9.80 m/s ^2

Acceleration = (velocity final-velocity initial)/ time
where
velocity final = 135 km/hr x 1 hr /3600 s x 1000m/1km
= 37.5 m/s
velocity initial = 35 km/hr x 1hr /3600 s x 1000 m/1 km
= 9.72 m/s
a) acceleration = 2.646 m/s^2
b) acceleration in g units = (2.646m/s^2)/(9.8m/s^2)
= 0.27 units

You're driving a vehicle of mass 1350 kg and you need to make a turn on a flat road. The radius of curvature of the turn is 71 m

sergey [27]

Answer:

$v=12.65\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of vehicle, $m=1350\ kg$

radius of curvature, $r=71\ m$

coefficient of friction, $\mu=0.23$

<u>During the turn to prevent the skidding of the vehicle its centripetal force must be equal to the opposite balancing frictional force:</u>

$m.\frac{v^2}{r} =\mu.N$

where:

$\mu=$ coefficient of friction

$N=$ normal reaction force due to weight of the car

$v=$ velocity of the car

$1350\times \frac{v^2}{71} =0.23\times (1350\times 9.8)$

$v=12.65\ m.s^{-1}$ is the maximum velocity at which the vehicle can turn without skidding.

A car moves in a straight line at 22.0 m/s for 10.0miles, then at 30.0 m/s for another 10.0miles. Calculate the car’s average sp

maw [93]

Answer: 25.38 m/s

Explanation:

We have a straight line where the car travels a total distance $D$ , which is divided into two segments $d=10 miles$ :

$D=d+d=2d$ (1)

Where $d=10mi \frac{1609.34 m}{1 mi}=16093.4 m$

On the other hand, we know speed is defined as:

$S=\frac{d}{t}$ (2)

Where $t$ is the time, which can be isolated from (2):

$t=\frac{d}{S}$ (3)

Now, for the first segment $d=16093.4 m$ the car has a speed $S_{1}=22m/s$ , using equation (3):

$t_{1}=\frac{d}{S_{1}}$ (4)

$t_{1}=\frac{16093.4 m}{22m/s}$ (5)

$t_{1}=731.518 s$ (6) This is the time it takes to travel the first segment

For the second segment $d=16093.4 m$ the car has a speed $S_{1}=30m/s$ , hence:

$t_{2}=\frac{d}{S_{2}}$ (7)

$t_{2}=\frac{16093.4 m}{30m/s}$ (8)

$t_{2}=536.44 s$ (9) This is the time it takes to travel the secons segment

Having these values we can calculate the car's average speed $S_{ave}$ :

$S_{ave}=\frac{d + d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}=\frac{2d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}$ (10)

$S_{ave}=\frac{2(16093.4 m)}{731.518 s +536.44 s}$ (11)

Finally:

$S_{ave}=25.38 m/s$

8. How did the measured angular magnification of the telescope compare with the theoretical prediction?

Genrish500 [490]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The theoretical angular magnification lies within the angular magnification range

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The focal length of B is $f_{objective } = 43.0 \ cm$

The focal length of A is $f_{eye} = 10.4 \ cm$

The theoretical angular magnification is mathematically represented as

$m = \frac{f_{objective }}{f_{eye}} = \frac{43.0}{10.4}$

$m = \frac{f_{objective }}{f_{eye}} = 4.175$

Form the question the measured angular magnification ranges from 4 -5

So from the value calculated and the value given we can deduce that the theoretical angular magnification lies within the angular magnification range

In the absence of air resistance, a ball of mass m is tossed upward to reach a height of 20 m. at the 10 m position, halfway up,

Mazyrski [523]

On the ball, there is mg of net force.

<h3>How would one describe air resistance?</h3>

Air exerts a force known as air resistance. The force works in the opposite direction of an object traveling through the air.
While a sports vehicle with a streamlined design will encounter reduced air resistance and experience less drag, the automobile will be able to move more quickly than a truck with a flat front.

<h3>What Causes Air Resistance?</h3>

Air resistance, also referred to as "drag," is a force brought on by air. When air specks collide with an object's front, it slows down.
The more air particles that impact the object and the larger its surface area, the more resistance it faces.
