A car traveled at a constant velocity of 70 mph from noon to 2:00 pm. At 3:00 pm the velocity of the car was 80 mph; and finally

at 4:30 pm the velocity of the car was 40 mph. Calculate the acceleration of the car between 3:00 and 4:30 pm. A) -40 mi hr2 B)-26.67 mi hr2 C)26.67 mi hr2 D) 40 mi hr2

Acceleration is the result when the difference in final and initial speed is divided by time. From the given, the acceleration from 3:00 to 4:30 pm is calculated through the steps below,
                             acceleration = (40mph - 80 mph) / 1.5 h
                                                     -26.67 mi/h²
Thus, the answer is letter B.

Answer: 37.981 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the ball has two components: <u>x-component</u> and <u>y-component.</u> Being their main equations as follows:

<u>x-component: </u>

x=V_{o}cos\theta t   (1)

Where:

x=52 m is the point where the ball strikes ground horizontally

V_{o} is the ball's initial speed

\theta=0 because we are told the ball is thrown horizontally

t is the time since the ball is thrown until it hits the ground

<u>y-component: </u>

y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}   (2)

Where:

y_{o}=120m  is the initial height of the ball

y=0  is the final height of the ball (when it finally hits the ground)

g=-9.8m/s^{2}  is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's start by finding t from (2):

<u></u>

0=y_{o}+V_{o}sin(0\°) t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}   (3)

0=y_{o}+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}  

t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 y_{o}}{g}}   (4)

t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 (120 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}   (5)

t=4.948 s   (6)

Then, we have to substitute (6) in (1):

x=V_{o}cos(0\°) t   (7)

And find V_{o}:

V_{o}=\frac{x}{t}   (8)

V_{o}=\frac{52 m}{4.948 s}   (9)

V_{o}=10.509 m/s   (10)

On the other hand, since we are dealing with constant acceleration (due gravity) we can use the following equation to find the value of the ball's final velocity V:

V=V_{o} + gt (11)

V=10.509 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^{2})(4.948 s) (12)

V=-37.981 m/s (13) This is the ball's final velocity, and the negative sign indicates its direction is downwards.

However, we were asked to find the <u>ball's final speed</u>, which is the module of the ball's final vleocity vector. This module is always positive, hence the speed of the ball just before it strikes the ground is 37.981 m/s (positive).

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT!
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

10000N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the car  = 1000kg

Acceleration = 3m/s²

g  = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Weight of the car  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we must understand that weight is the vertical gravitational force that acts on a body.

 Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

So;

    Weight  = 1000 x 10  = 10000N

A circular loop of wire with 10 turns, radius 0.241 m and resistance 0.235 Ohms is connected to a 13.1 V power supply. The magne
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Given Information:  

Resistance of circular loop = R = 0.235 Ω 

Radius of circular loop = r = 0.241 m

Number of turns = n = 10

Voltage = V = 13.1 V

Required Information:  

Magnetic field = B = ?  

Answer:  

Magnetic field = 0.00145 T

Explanation:  

In a circular loop of wire with n number of turns and radius r and carrying a current I induces a magnetic field B

B = μ₀nI/2r

Where μ₀= 4πx10⁻⁷ is the permeability of free space  and current in the loop is given by

I = V/R

I = 13.1/0.235

I = 55.74 A

B = 4πx10⁻⁷*10*55.74/2*0.241

B = 0.00145 T

Therefore, the magnetic field at the center of this circular loop is 0.00145 T

The voltage supplied to a circuit is 17 V and the current running through is 10 A. What is the power generated?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

170 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = VI.................... Equation 1

Where P = Power generated in watt, V = Voltage supplied to the circuit, I = Current running through the circuit.

From the question,

Given: V = 17 V, I = 10 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (17×10)

P = 170 Watt.

Hence the power generated is 170 W.

The right option is A. 170 W
