A car traveling at 30m/s screeches to a halt, leaving 55 m long skid marks. what was the cars acceleration while braking

For this problem we use the derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. The equation is written below:

2ax = v² - v₀²
where
a is the acceleration
x is the distance
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity

Since the car comes to a stop eventually, v=0. Substituting the values,

2a(55) =0² - 30²
a = -8.18 m/s²

MissTica

Answer:

The speed of proton when it emerges through the hole in the positive plate is $2.05\times 10^5\ m/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

A parallel-plate capacitor is held at a potential difference of 250 V.

A A proton is fired toward a small hole in the negative plate with a speed of, $u=3\times 10^5\ m/s$

We need to find the speed when it emerges through the hole in the positive plate. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

$qV=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\1.6\times10^{-19}\times250=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}\cdot1.67\times10^{-27}\cdot(3\times10^{5})^{2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=3.515\cdot10^{-17}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.515\cdot10^{-17}\cdot2}{1.67\times10^{-27}}}\\\\v=2.05\times 10^5\ m/s$

So, the speed of proton when it emerges through the hole in the positive plate is $2.05\times 10^5\ m/s$ .

A pendulum bob executing simple harmonic motion has 2cm and 12Hz as amplitude and frequency respectively. Calculate the period o

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude is extraneous information for this question.

Period (T) is simply a measure of time (how long it takes to complete a full cycle).

The frequency (f), is the reciprocal (how many cycles it can complete per unit of time).

The frequency reported is 12Hz. Hz is a unit meaning "cycles per second"

Thus 12cycles = 1second.

To find the number of seconds per cycle, simply create the other unit fraction and simplify:

$T=\frac{1second}{12cycles}\\T=0.8\bar{3}\frac{seconds}{cycle}\\$

$T=0.83seconds$

Qual a capacidade térmica de um objeto que, ao receber 10000 cal de energia, tem sua temperatura elevada de 25°C para 75°C?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$200 cal/^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

When heat energy is supplied to an object, the temperature of the object increases according to the equation:

$Q=C\Delta T$

where

Q is the heat supplied

C is the heat capacity of the object

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

In this problem we have:

$Q=10,000 cal$ is the energy supplied

$\Delta T=75C-25C=50C$ is the change in temperature of the object

Therefore, the heat capacity of the object is:

$C=\frac{Q}{\Delta T}=\frac{10,000}{50}=200 cal/^{\circ}C$
