Xf=?
Xi=0m
Vi=0m/s
Vf=40m/s
a=?
t=12s

Xf=Xi+1/2(Vi+Vf)t
Xf= 0 +1/2 (0+40)12
Xf=1/2 (40)12
Xf=240m

Vf=Vi+at
40=0+a (12)

Answer:

a) 107.279m

b)1.49m/s^2

Explanation:

We use the second and third equations of a uniformly accelerated motion as follows;

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2...................(1)\\v^2=u^2+2as...................(2)

where u is the initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration, t is time taken and s is distance covered.

Given;

u = 0m/s (since the car starts from rest)

v =40mi/h

t = 12s

a = ?

s = ?

substituting into equation (1), we obtain the following;

s=0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*12^2\\s=\frac{1}{2}*a*144\\s=72a.................(3)

For the purpose of consistency of units, we have to first of all convert the 40mi/h to m/s as follows;

1 mile = 1609.34m

therefore;

40miles = 40 x 1609.34m = 64373.8m

Also,

1 hour = 60 x 60s =3600s.

Hence;

40mi/h=\frac{64373.8}{3600}m/s\\40mi/h=17.88m/s

We then make sustitution into equation (2) as follows;

17.88^2=0^2+2*a*s\\319.69=2as....................(4)

We then proceed to solve for s and a by solving equations (3) and (4) simultaneously.

(a) To find  s, the distance covered;

from equation (3), a=\frac{s}{72}. We then put this into (4) to obtain the following;

319.69=2*\frac{s}{72}*s\\319.69=\frac{2s^2}{72}\\hence\\2s^2=319.69*72\\2s^2=23017.68\\s^2=\frac{23017.68}{2}\\s^2=11508.84\\s=\sqrt{11508.84}\\\\s=107.279m

b) As previously stated, a=\frac{s}{72};

hence,

a=\frac{107.279}{72}\\a=1.49m/s^2

The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 17 x 10^-6 K-1. A block of copper 30 cm wide, 45 cm long, and 10 cm thick is he
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The change in volume is 6.885\times 10^{- 5}\

Solution:

As per the question:

Coefficient of linear expansion of Copper, \alpha = 17\times 10^{- 6}\ K^{- 1}

Initial Temperature, T = 0^{\circ} = 273 K

Final Temperature, T' = 100^{\circ} = 273 + 100 = 373 K

Now,

Initial Volume of the block, V = 30\times 45\times 10\times 10^{- 6}\ m^{3} = 0.0135\ m^{3}

V' = V(1 + \gamma \Delta T)

\gamma = 3\alpha

V' = V(1 + 3\alpha \Delta T)

where

V' = Final volume

V' - V= 0.0135\times 17\times 10^{- 6} \times (T' - T))

\Delta V= 0.0135\times 3\times 17\times 10^{- 6} \times (373 - 273)) = 6.885\times 10^{- 5}\

A 44-turn rectangular coil with length ℓ = 17.0 cm and width w = 8.10 cm is in a region with its axis initially aligned to a hor
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The maximum induced emf in the rotating coil  = 29.66V

The induced emf in the rotating coil when (t = 1.00 s) = 26.66V

The maximum rate of change of the magnetic flux through the rotating coil = 0.674Wb/s

Explanation:

Lets state the parameters we are being given right from the question:

Number of rectangular coil, (N) = 44

Length of Coil, l =17cm in meters we have; (l) = 17 × 10⁻² m

Width of Coil, w =8.10cm in meters we have; (w) = 8.10 × 10⁻² m

Magnitude of Uniform Magnetic Field (B) = 767mT= 765 × 10⁻³ T

Angular Speed of Coil, (ω) = 64 rad/s

(a)

To calculate the induced emf in the rotating cell,we can use the formula:

emf = NBAωsin(ωt)

For maximum induced emf, the value of sin(ωt) will be 1

emf_max = NBAω ; if (A = l × w) , we have:

emf_max  = NB(l × w)ω

subsitituting the parameters into the above equation; we have:

emf_max  = 44 × 765 × 10⁻³ ( 17 × 10⁻² × 8.10 × 10⁻² ) × 64

= 29.66V

(b)

At t = 1s, the induced emf is calculated as:

emf = NBAωsin(ωt)

substituting the parameters into the equation, we have:

emf =   44 × 765 × 10⁻³ ( 17 × 10⁻² × 8.10 × 10⁻² ) × 64 × sin (64 × 1)

=26.66V

(c)

To calculate the maximum rate of change of the magnetic flux through the rotating coil; we need to reflect on the equation for the maximum induced emf in terms of magnetic flux.

i.e emf_max = N\frac{d∅}{dt}

since emf_max = 29.66 and N = 44; we have:

29.66 =  44\frac{d∅}{dt}

\frac{d∅}{dt} = \frac{29.66}{44}

= 0.674 Wb/s

Ann [662]

Answer:

a = 8.06 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of this car can be found using the first equation of motion:

v_f = v_i + at\\\\a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

where,

a = acceleration = ?

vf = final speed = 26.8 m/s

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time = 3.323 s

Therefore,

a = \frac{26.8\ m/s-0\ m/s}{3.323\ s}

<u>a = 8.06 m/s²</u>
