What is the speed of an object at rest

Physics
1 answer:
sammy [17]3 years ago
4 0
The speed of an object is measured by calculating the distance it travels per unit time.
The formula in Physics for calculating speed is = distance/ time.

Since an object at rest is not covering any distance, the speed is always assumed to be 0 m/s.

A driver in a 2290-kg car car traveling at 42.7 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefficient of friction betw
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

126.56 m

Explanation:

Applying,

-F = ma............. Equation 1

Where F = frictional force, m = mass of the car, a = acceleration.

Note: Frictional force is negative because it act in opposite direction to motion

But,

F = mgμ.......... Equation 2

Where g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of friction

Substitute equation 2 in equation 1

-mgμ = ma

a = -gμ.............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: μ = 0.735

Constant: 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values in equation 3

a = -9.8×0.735

a = -7.203 m/s²

Finally,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 4

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, s = distance

From the question,

Given: u = 42.7 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to a stop), a = -7.203 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 4

0² = 42.7²+2(-7.203)s

-1823.29 = -14.406s

s = -1823.29/-14.406

s = 126.56 m

natta225 [31]

The EMT must assume that any unwitnessed water-related incident is accompanied by potential spinal damage.

<h3>What is spinal damage?</h3>
  • Nerves or the spinal cord in any way damaged at the end of the spinal canal.
  • A rapid strike or cut to the spine can cause a traumatic spinal cord damage.
  • Below the damage site, a spinal cord injury frequently results in a lifelong loss of strength, feeling, and function.
  • A lot of people with spinal cord injuries may lead productive, independent lives with the help of rehabilitation and assistive technology.
  • Symptom-reducing medications and spinal stabilisation surgery are used as treatments.
  • Herniated discs are among the common injuries and diseases of the spine. Stenosis of the lower back and Scoliosis are others.
  • After taking part in a rehabilitation programme, over 80% of people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) can walk again.

How does the angle of launch affect the kinetic energy of a rubber band?​
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The angle of launch of the rubber band affects the initial velocity. The more the rubber band is stretched the more force it applies to return to equilibrium and the more kinetic energy that results in.

Jeremiah is conducting an investigation about the water cycle. He is given the following
Vlada [557]

The water cycle outlines the continuous water movement in liquid, solid and gaseous state between locations on the Earth's surface.

  • The glass jar represents the lake while the atmosphere is represented by the space above the water, and the sky is represented by the (clear) plastic wrap

Arrangement description and Processes;

The processes of the water cycle includes;

  • Evaporation;
  • Condensation
  • Precipitation
  • Sublimation
  • Runoff
  • Infiltration

The arrangement of the materials is as follows;

  • Place the glass jar (the lake) containing water and the lamp (the Sun) side by side, such that the lamp light shines on the water surface

  • Cover the glass jar by wrapping the plastic wrap (the sky) around it to prevent the escape of water vapor when the water is hot.

  • Switch on the lamp so that it heats the water by radiation heat transfer

Observed processes;

The processes demonstrated by the above experiment includes;

1) Evaporation: As the water in the glass jar becomes warmer, the level of the water in the jar can be observed to decrease slightly due to evaporation

2) Condensation: Fog formation, Clouds

When hotter, the water surface as seen through the clear plastic wrap becomes less clearer due to evaporation, and condensation of the vapor while floating above the water surface, similar to the clouds seen in the sky.

3. Precipitation: Rain;

The clear plastic wrap covering the top of the glass jar, prevents the movement of the vapor further away, such that the tiny condensed vapor gather together, to form big droplets under the plastic wrap that falls back into the jar, which is similar to the process of rainfall

The above processes are repeated as more water evaporates from the jar condenses on the plastic wrap and falls back into the jar, showing the process by which water is recycled from the lake into the atmosphere and back to the lake.
