A car speeds up from rest to +16 m/ s in 4s. calculate the acceleration

2 answers:

6 0

The magnitude of acceleration is (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning) =

(16 m/s) - (0) = 16 m/s .

Time for the change = 4 s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (16 m/s) / (4 s) = 4 m/s per sec = 4 m/s² .

16 m/s - 0 m/s divided by 4s
= 16 m/s divided by 4s
= 4 m/s
The acceleration is 4 m/s squared

Bus starts from rest if the acceleration of the bus is 0.5 MS squared what will be the velocity at the end of two minutes and wh

Nutka1998 [239]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bus, u = 0

Acceleration of the bus, a = 0.5 m/s²

Let v is the velocity at the end of 2 minutes. The change in velocity divided by time equals acceleration.

So,

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\v=u+at\\\\v=0+0.5\times 120\\\\v=60\ m/s$

Let d is the distance cover during that time. So,

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{(60)^2}{2\times 0.5}\\\\d=3600\ m$

So, the final speed is 60 m/s and the distance covered during that time is 3600 m.

Imagine you leave the dock on a fishing boat that travels east for 30 kilometers when the captain realizes he left the fishing r

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Average speed is 60 km/hr whereas average velocity is 0 km/ hr.

Explanation:

The average speed of the boat is 60 km/ hr while on the other hand, the average velocity of the boat is 0 km/ hr because average speed is the total distance covered by the boat in total time and average velocity is the displacement covered by the boat in total time. The total distance covered by the boat is 60 km and the total time is 60 minutes which is equals to one hour so the answer is 60 km/hr whereas the displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position which is 0 in this case so 0 divided by 60 minutes or one hour is also 0.

A car travels in a straight line from a position 50 m to your right to a position 210 m to your right in 5 sec. a. What is the a

Verizon [17]

Answer:

a) The average velocity is 32 m/s

b) See the attached figure. Slope of the line = 32.

Graphic: a line that passes through the points (0; 50) and (5; 210)

Explanation:

a) The average velocity is calculated as the displacement over time:

v = ΔX / Δt

where

ΔX : displacement ( final position - initial position)

Δt : time (final time - initial time)

Considering the origin of the reference system as the position where the observer is:

ΔX = 210 m - 50 m = 160 m

Δt = 5 s

v = 160 m / 5 s = 32 m/s

b) In the graphic position vs time, plot a line that passes through the points (0, 50) (because at time 0, the car is 50 m away from you, the center of the reference system) and (5, 210). The x-axis, time, is in seconds and the y-axis, position, in meters. The slope of the line is calculated as:

slope = (X₂ - X₁) /(t₂ - t₁) = (210 - 50) / (5 - 0) = 32. Then, the velocity is equal to the slope of the line. See the attached figure.
