A bus accelerates at -0.5 m/s2 for 12.5 seconds . If the bus had an initial speed of 31 m/s, what is its new speed? A. 12.25m/s

B. 37.25m/s C. 24.75m/s D. 6.25m/s

Answer:

37.5m/s

Explanation:

a=(v-u)/t

0.5 = (v - 31) / 12.5

v - 31 = 0.5 x 12.5

v - 31 = 6.25

V = 6.25 + 31

v = 37.25m/s

What is projectile motion caused by?

Lemur [1.5K]

Gravity acts to influence the vertical motion of the projectile, thus causing a vertical acceleration. The horizontal motion of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object in motion to remain in motion at constant velocity.

How can groundwater flow, elevation can transport contaminates

Pavel [41]

Answer: it's under explanation

Explanation:Groundwater contamination occurs when man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become unsafe and unfit for human use. Materials from the land's surface can move through the soil and end up in the groundwater.

The question is in the picture

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

e) 120m/s

Explanation:

When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning

$v_0-gt = 0$ .

where $v_0$ is the initial velocity.

Solving for $t$ we get

$t = \dfrac{v_0}{g}$

which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.

Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time $t_0$ since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity $v_f$ it has gained is

$v_f = gt_0$ ,

and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity $v_0$ ; therefore,

$v_f = 2v_0 = gt_0$

which gives

$t_0 = \dfrac{2v_0}{g}.$

Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity $2v_0$ is

$t_{tot} = t+t_0 = \dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{2v_0}{g}$

$t_{tot} = \dfrac{3v_0}{g}.$

This $t_{tot}$ , we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,

$36= \dfrac{3v_0}{g},$

and solving for $v_0$ we get:

$v_0 = \dfrac{36g}{3}$

$v_0 = \dfrac{36s(10m/s^2)}{3}$

$\boxed{v_0 = 120m/s}$

which from the options given is choice e.

a large sphere is on a horizontal field on a sunny day. at a certain time the shadow reaches out a distance of 10 m from the poi

Mars2501 [29]

The radius of the sphere in meters is ,r = $10\sqrt{5} -20$

Think about the angle the ground and the shadow make. Since the sun's beams are parallel, the angle created by the stick's shadow is also equal. Since the stick is 1 m high and its shadow is 2 m long, we know that the stick's angle is arctan 1/2. Therefore, by thinking of a right-angled triangle,

r/10 = tan [arctan(1/2)] = tan (1/2)

Since, tan (θ/2) = 1-cos(θ) / sin(θ)

we find that,

r/10 = $\sqrt{5} -2$

Hence, r = $10\sqrt{5} -20$

So, the radius of the sphere in meters is ,r = $10\sqrt{5} -20$

An automobile engine can produce 153 N · m of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration (in rad/s^2) produced if 85.2% of this

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

46.2 rad/s2

Explanation:

Angular acceleration works very similar to linear acceleration, it follows this equation:

$\gamma = \frac{Mt}{J}$

Where:

γ: angular acceleration

Mt: torque

J: moment of inertia of the load from its turning axis

Since we have the torque we just need the moment of inertia. We have to add together the moments of the drive shaft, tires, wheel walls and wheels.

The wheels act like disks. For disks the moment of inertia is:

$J = \frac{1}{2} * m * r^2$

$Jwheel = \frac{1}{2} = 15 * 0.18^2 = 0.243 kg*m^2$

The wheel walls act like annular rings, for these the moment of inertia is:

$J = \frac{1}{2} * m * (re^2 - ri^2)$

$Jwall = \frac{1}{2} * 2 * (0.32^2 - 0.18^2) = 0.07 kg * m^2$

The tread acts like a hoop, as in mass concentrated into a circunference, for these:

$J = m * r^2$

$Jtread = 10 * 0.33^2 = 1.09 kg*m^2$

The axle acts like a rod, which is the same as the disk:

$Jaxle = \frac{1}{2} * 14.1 * 0.02^2 = 0.0028 kg*m^2$

The drive shaft acts like a rod too:

$Jshaft = \frac{1}{2} * 31.7 * 0.032^2 = 0.016 kg*m^2$

SO, the total moment of inertia is:

J = 2*Jwheel + 2*Jwall + 2*Jtread + Jaxle + Jshaft

J = 2*0.243 + 2*0.07 + 2*1.09 + 0.0028 + 0.016 = 2.82 kg*m2

Finally the angular acceleration is:

$\gamma = \frac{0.852 * 153}{2.82} = 46.2 \frac{rad}{s^2}$
