Answer:False

Explanation:

Turn the key to lock is not advisable as it lock the steering wheel and may create a dangerous situation.

Following steps can be taken in this situation

Try to press the brake to stop the vehicle
Shift gear to neutral in order to cease the acceleration of car.
Try to lift the gas pedal in order to decrease the velocity of car.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The above statement is true as when we turn the key to lock the steering wheel the engine is also turned off. This makes the situation safer for the driver. Provided the driver need not change direction. Moreover, warn other drivers by blinking or flashing the hazard lights.

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) Height is 4.47 m

(b) Height is 4.37 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Initial velocity of teh ball, $v_{o} = 20.0 m/s$

Angle made by the ramp, $\theta = 22.0^{\circ}$

Distance traveled by the ball on the ramp, d = 5.00 m

Now,

(a) At any point on the projectile before attaining maximum height, the velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

$v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH$

where

H = $dsin22^{\circ} = 5sin22^{\circ}$

g = $9.8 m/s^{2}$

$v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ}$

$v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ}}$ = 19.06 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

$h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(19sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.60 m$

Height from the ground = $5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.60 = 4.47m$

(b) now, considering the coefficient of friction bhetween ramp and the ball, $\mu = 0.150$ :

velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

$v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH - \mu gd$

$v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5$

$v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5}$ = 18.7 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

$h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(18.7sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.50 m$

Height from the ground = $5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.50 = 4.37 m$

A rock is lifted by a machine to a height of 10m. If it has a mass of 22 kilograms

zmey [24]

Answer:

2156J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of lift = 10m

Mass = 22kg

Unknown:

Work done by the machine = ?

Solution:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.

So;

Work done = Force x distance

Here;

Work done = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Work done = 22 x 9.8 x 10 = 2156J
