The minimum stopping distance of a car moving at 20.5 mi/h is 11.6 m. Under the same conditions (so that the maximum braking for

pshichka [43]

Answer:

d = 69 .57 meter

Explanation:

First case

Speed of car ( v ) = 20.5 mi/h = 9.164 M/S

distance ( d ) = 11.6 meter ( m = mass of the car )

Work done = 0.5 m v² = 0.5 * 9.164² * m J = 41.99 m J

Force = ( workdone /distance ) = ( 41.99 m / 11.6 ) = 3.619 m N

Second case

v = 50.2 mi/h = 22.44135 m/s

d = ?

Work done = 0.5 * 22.44² * m J = 251.7768 * m J

Since the braking force remains the same .

3.619 m = ( 251.7768 m / d )

d = 69 .57 meter

A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface runs into a fixed spring, compressing it a distance x1 from its relaxed posit

inn [45]

Answer:twice of initial value

Explanation:

Given

spring compresses $x_1$ distance for some initial speed

Suppose v is the initial speed and k be the spring constant

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy converted into spring Elastic potential energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_1^2----1$

When speed doubles

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(2v)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_2^2----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}$

$x_2=2x_1$

Therefore spring compresses twice the initial value

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

d. )directed upward.

Explanation:

As the electron has a negative charge, when under the influence of an electric field, is subject to an electric force, which direction is the opposite to the direction of the electric field.

This is because the electric field has the same direction that the force on a positive test charge at the same point.

As the electric field points vertically downward, the electric force on the electron (a negative charge) points vertically upward.

So, the statement d. is the one that results to be true.
