A driver in a car,originally moving 12.2 m/s, applies the brakes until the car comes to a stop. The car moves a distance of 36.5

m while braking. How much time did it take for the car to stop? Assume constant acceleration during braking.

First we have to calculate the acceleration of the car,

a =\frac{u-v}{t}

Here, u is initial velocity of the car and its value is given 12.2 m/s and v is final velocity of the car and it comes to stop, so its value zero.

a=\frac{0-12.2 m/s}{t} =\frac{-12.2 \ m/s}{t}.

As during the braking the acceleration is constant, from the kinematic equation,

s=ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2

Here, s is the distance traveled by the car during braking and its value is given 36. 5 m.

Substituting all the values in kinematic equation, we get

36.5 m =(12.2 m/s) t + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{12.2 m/s}{t}) t^2 \\\\ 36.5 \ m = (12.2 \ m/s) t -(6.1 \ m/s) t \\\\\ t = \frac{36.5 m}{6.1 m/s} = 5.98 s

Therefore, car will stop after 5.98 s.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

 E = k q / a²   (1.3535) (- i ^ + j ^)

  E = k q / a²  1.914  ,      θ’= 135

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where we must add as vectors

        E_total = E₁₂ i ^ + E₁₄ j ^ + E₁₃

Let's look for the value of each term

On the x axis

       E₁₂ = k q / a²

On the y axis

       E₁₄ = k q / a²

For the charge in the opposite corner we look for the distance

        d = √ (a² + a²) = a √2

let's look for the field

      E₁₃ = k q / d²

      E₁₃ = k q / 2a²

let's use trigonometry to find the two components of this field

       cos 45 = E₁₃ₓ / E₁₃

       E₁₃ₓ = E₁₃ cos 45

       

       sin 45 = E_{13y} / E₁₃

       E_{13y} = E₁₃ sin 45

       E₁₃ₓ = k q / 2a²  cos 45

       E_{13y} = k q / 2a²  sin 45

let's find each component of the electric field

X axis

      Eₓ = -E₁₂ - E₁₃ₓ

      Eₓ = - k q / a² - k q / 2a² cos 45

      Eₓ = - k q / a² (1 + cos 45/2)

      cos 45 = sin 45 = 0.707

      Eₓ = - k q / a²   (1 + 0.707 / 2)

      Eₓ = - k q / a²    (1.3535)

Y axis  

      E_y = E₁₄ + E_{13y}

       E_y = k q / a² + k q / 2a²     sin 45

       E_y = k q / a² (1 + sin 45/2)

       E_y = k q / a²       (1.3535)

we can give the results in two ways

       E = k q / a²   (1.3535) (- i ^ + j ^)

In modulus and angle form, let's use Pythagoras' theorem for the angle

       E = √ (Eₓ² + E_y²)

        E = k q / a²    1.3535 √2

        E = k q / a²     1.914

we use trigonometry for the angle

        tan θ = E_y / Eₓ

         θ = tan⁻¹  (E_y / Eₓ)

         θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / -1)

         θ = 45

in the third quadrant, if we measure the angle of the positive side of the x-axis

           θ‘= 90 + 45

           θ’= 135

The earth tilt about 23 degrees which leads to the formation of seasons on earth.

<h3>At what degree the earth tilt?</h3>

This is tilted at 23 degrees from the vertical. The northern hemisphere is in the winter season.

This is the path as the earth revolves around the sun. It takes 1 year to complete this path.

This is the path as the earth rotates around its.

So we can conclude that the earth tilt about 23 degrees which leads to the formation of seasons on earth.

What is the velocity of an upward moving 500kg elevator that has 4000 of energy
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

4 m/s

Step-by-Step Explanation:

E = mgh and h = E/mg

So if you put your numbers in the formula : h = 4000J/500 * 10

you will get h = 4/5 meters

use this , If the elevator moves from top to the ground in a constasnt acceleration you will have all energy (4000 J) transformed into acceleration to speed up its motion.

(All potential energy will be turned into movement energy). As explained in this formula;

mgh = mv²/2 , solve out (v) from the equation

v = √2gh = √2·10·4/5 (digits are together- not related to the problem, just for clarification) = 4 m/s

Answer the velocity of the elevator is

4 m/s
