If a car accelerates uniformly from rest to 15 meters

Physics

Talja [164]2 years ago

Answer:

1.125m/s^2

Explanation:

Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with respect to time. Mathematically

v^2= u^2+2as

Where a,v,u and s are the acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity and distance respectively.

a = ?

u = 0m/s

v = 15m/s

s = 100m

Substituting the values into the formula above

v^2= u^2+2as

15^2=0^2+2×a×100

225= 0+200a

225= 200a

Divide both sides by 200

225/200 = 200a/200

a= 1.125m/s^2

Hence the acceleration of the car is 1.125m/s^2.

Note that the car accelerated uniformly from rest, that was why the initial velocity was 0m/s

Answer:

1.125 m/s²

Explanation:

Applying Newton's equation of motion,

v² = u²+2as

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

Note: u = 0 m/s ( from rest)

make a the subject of the equation above.

a = v²/2s................ Equation 2

Given: v = 15 m/s². s =  100 m

Substitute into equation 2

a = 15²/(2×100)

a = 225/200

a = 1.125 m/s²

Heavy crate sits at rest on the floor of a warehouse. you push on the crate with a force of 400 n, and it doesn't budge. what is
maks197457 [2]

Heavy crate sits at rest on the floor of a warehouse. you push on the crate with a force of 400 N, and it doesn't budge. The magnitude of the friction force on the crate in Newton is 400N

This is due to Friction force, which is defined as the resisting force that acts on a body when it is at rest (Static friction) or when it is in motion (Kinetic friction).

When a force is applied on a stationary body, the force of static friction starts to act on the body which prevents any relative motion between the object and surface. The magnitude of friction increases up to μsN, where μs is the coefficient of static friction. As the crate didn't budge, it means the amount of force applied was less than μsN. Hence the force applied was canceled by an equal and opposite amount of frictional force which was equal to 400N.

Which of Galileo’s discoveries were later used in Newton’s laws?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a moving object will keep moving if not stopped

the sun being at the center of the solar system

Explanation:

Galileo is known for being the first person make a telescope, there fore being the first person to see that the sun is in the center of the solar system. he also came up with the theory that if something is pushed, it would keep moving until stopped by another force. For example, say you drop your pencil, it keeps falling until it hits the ground. That is exactly what Galileo did in his  Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment and found that theory to be true.

What is the change in air pressure over a given distance called?.
emmainna [20.7K]
The change in pressure measured across a given distance called a Pressure Gradient. The pressure gradient creates a net force that is directed from higher to lower pressure and is called the Pressure Gradient Force. ... As air increases in velocity, it is deflected by the Coriolis Force.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Neptune is approximately 41 times as far from the sun as Venus

Explanation:

Estimate = distance of Neptune from the sun ÷ distance of Venus from the sun = 4.5×10^9 ÷ 1.18×10^8 = 40.9 (approximately 41)

2. A 5 year old child pushes with a force of 5 N to get a sumo wrestler to move, but the
Svetllana [295]

formula= W=f*d

w=work done

f=force

d=distance

w=f*d

w= 5n*0(does not budge)means does not move so distance is zero

w=5J

The work done by the children on the sumo wrestler is 5J
