Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

A cyclist rides at 6.20 m/s through a intersection. A stationary car begins to

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The width of the intersection is 20 meters

Explanation:

The speed with which the cyclist is riding, v₁ = 6.20 m/s

The rate at which the car starts to accelerate, a = 3.844 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car = The car is stationary at the start = 0 m/s

The time at which the cyclist and the car reach the other side of the intersection = The same time;

Let 't' represent the time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, we have;

The distance travelled by the cyclist = The distance traveled by the car

∴ v₁ × t = 1/2 × a × t²

Plugging in the values for 'v₁', and 'a' in the above equation, we get;

6.20 × t = 1/2 × 3.844 × t²

∴ 1.922·t² - 6.20·t = 0

∴ t·(1.922·t - 6.20) = 0

t = 0, or t = 6.20/1.922 = 100/31

The time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, t = 100/31 seconds

The with of the intersection, w = v₁ × t

∴ w = 6.20 × 100/31 = 100/5 = 20

The width of the intersection, w = 20 meters.

Suppose that a steel bridge, 1000 m long, were built without any expansion joints. Suppose that only one end of the bridge was h

Stels [109]

Answer:

The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 1000 m

Winter temperature = 0°C

Summer temperature = 40°C

Coefficient of thermal expansion $\alpha= 10.5\times10^{-6}\ K^{-1}$

We need to calculate the difference in the length of the bridge

Using formula of the difference in the length

$\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T$

Where, $\Delta T$ = temperature difference

$\alpha$ =Coefficient of thermal expansion

L= length

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta L=1000\times10.5\times10^{-6}(40^{\circ}-0^{\circ})$

$\Delta L=0.42\ m$

Hence, The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

A tennis ball is tossed upward with a speed of 3.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}3.0 s m 3, point, 0, start fraction, start text, m

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball is 0.92 m/s in the downward direction (-0.92 m/s).

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation for the velocity of an object thrown upward is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

v = velocity of the ball.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

t = time.

To find the velocity of the ball at t = 0.40 s, we have to replace "t" by 0.40 s in the equation:

v = v0 + g · t

v = 3.0 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.40 s

v = -0.92 m/s

The velocity of the ball is 0.92 m/s in the downward direction (-0.92 m/s).
