The vertical component of velocity is given by

V = Vy x Sin (Theta)

15.3 m/s = Vy x Sin (55 degrees)

Vy = 15.3 m/s/Sin (55 degrees)

= 15.3 m/s/0.819

= 18.681 m/s

A driver has a reaction time of 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of her car is 6.0 m/s^2 . She is driving at 20 m/s when su

QveST [7]

Answer:

The car stops after 32.58 m.

Explanation:

t = Time taken for the car to stop

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = -6 m/s²

Time taken by the car to stop

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-20}{-6}\\\Rightarrow t=3.33\ s$

Total Time taken by the car to stop is 0.5+3.33 = 3.83 s

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=20\times 3.83+\frac{1}{2}\times -6\times 3.83^2\\\Rightarrow s=32.58\ m$

The car stops after 32.58 m.

Distance between car and obstacle is 50-32.58 = 17.42 m

If an object has zero resultant force on it, can it be moving? Can it be accelerating?

hichkok12 [17]

It's moving, in a straight line and at a constant speed. It can't be accelerating.

Metal sphere having an excess of +5 elementary charges has a net electric charge of

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$q=+8.01\cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs$

Explanation:

<u>Elementary charge</u>

The elementary charge, denoted by the symbol e is the electric charge carried by a proton or, equivalently, the magnitude of a negative electric charge carried by an electron, which has charge −e.

The value of the elementary charge is a fundamental constant in physics:

$\mathbf{e}=1.60217662 \cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs$

If a metal sphere has an excess of +5 elementary charge, then it has a net charge of:

$q=5*\mathbf{e}=+5*1.60217662 \cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs$

$\boxed{q=+8.01\cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs}$

Your pet hamster sits on a record player whose angular speed is constant. If he moves to a point twice as far from the center, t

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

angular speed is constant

initial distance = r

final distance (r')= 2 r

initial linear velocity = v

final linear velocity = v'

we know,

v = r ω......................(1)

where r is the distance

ω is the angular speed

now,

v' = r' ω

v' = 2 r ω

v' = 2 v

hence, the linear velocity doubles.

The correct answer is option A
