A car traveling at 26 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 6 seconds. What is its acceleration?

1 answer:

5 0

Alright let's start this off with our basic equation!

Accerlation (a) = ?

Initial velocity (V1)= 26 m/s
Final velocity (V2) = 0 ft/s because the car comes to a complete stop!

Time (t) = 6 seconds

The equation for acceleration is below!
a = $\frac{Final velocity - Initial Velocity}{time}$

So now, just plug in the values!
a = $\frac{0 - 26}{6}$
a = $\frac{-26}{6}$
a = -4.33 m/s²

Therefore, your acceleration is -4.33 m/s²!! Hope this helped and was one of the branliest answers :')

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, $T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

$T\ cos\theta-mg=0$

$T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}$

Sum of forces in x direction,

$T\ sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$ .............(1)

Also, $r=l\ sin\theta$

Equation (1) becomes :

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{l\ sin\theta}$

$v=\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}$ ...............(2)

Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}$

Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi l\ sin\theta}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

On solving above equation :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Listed following are three possible models for the long-term expansion (and possible contraction) of the universe in the absence

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1. Recollapsing universe

2. Critical universe

3. Coasting universe

Explanation:

Recollapsing universe has dark matter density greater than critical density. While critical universe has its matter density equal to the critical sensity. Coasting universe on the other hand has much smaller matter density compared to critical density.

Note that the critical density is approximately 10^-20 grams/cm3
