Is v2 = v1t+a dimensionally correct? Explain please!

Lady bird [3.3K]3 years ago

You want v2 = v1 + at
v is measured in m/s, a in m/s2, and t in s.
the dimensions multiply like algebraic quantities. 
so because v2 is measured in m/s, then (v1 + at) has to come out in m/s
 the units for (v1 + at) are (m/s) + (m/s2)(s)
time "s" cancels out one acceleration "s", so it comes ut to (m/s) + (m/s), which = (m/s). 
if you had (v1t + a), then you would have (m/s)(s) + (m/s2) which = (m) + (m/s2), which doesn't work.

A horizontal force of 92.7 N is applied to a 40.5 kg crate on a rough, level surface. If the crate accelerates at 1.13 m/s2, wha
lord [1]

Answer:

The value is F_f =  46.935 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  magnitude of the horizontal force is F  =  92.7 \  N

     The mass of the crate is  m  =  40.5 \  kg

     The acceleration of the crate is  a =  1.13 \ m/s

Generally the net force acting on the crate is mathematically represented as

       F_{net} =  F -  F_f =  ma

Here F_f is force of kinetic friction (in N) acting on the crate

      So  

            92.7  -  F_f =  40.5 * 1.13

=>         F_f =  46.935 \  N

A small button placed on a horizontal rotating platform with diameter 0.320 m will revolve with the platform when it is brought
Otrada [13]

Answer:

0.2687 approximately 0.27

Explanation:

Diameter = 0.320

Speed = 40.0 rev/min

We are required to find coefficient of static friction between friction and button

The radius can be calculated as

0.320/2

= 0.160m

Then we have the rotational speed w = 40rev/min x 2pi/60

= 4.19 rad/s

umg = mrw²

u = mrw²/mg

u = rw²/g -------(1)

g = 9.8

When we put values into equation 1

0.150m x 4.19² / 9.8

= 0.150m x 17.5561 /9.8

= 0.2689

This is approximately 0.27

Which option lists a form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Magnetic energy and electromagnetic energy form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy.

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Lists a form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy

We know that,

Sound energy :

The movement of energy through object it is called sound energy. When a object produced vibration by force then it moves in wave.

Sound wave is example of kinetic energy.

Nuclear energy :

The store energy in the nucleus of the atom it is called nuclear energy. This energy released when occurs fusion and fission.

Nuclear energy is the example of potential energy

Magnetic energy :

Magnetic energy is a type of potential energy which is depend on distance and position in the magnetic field.

Electromagnetic energy :

Electromagnetic energy is light energy. it is type of kinetic energy.

Gravitational energy :

Gravitational energy is a type of potential energy. It is an energy related with gravity or gravitational force.

Elastic energy :

The store energy in elastic object it is called elastic energy. This energy is a type of potential energy.

Electrical energy :

The movement of electrons is called electrical energy. When electrons move through a wire then it is are called electricity. Electrical energy is type of kinetic energy.

Hence, Magnetic energy and electromagnetic energy form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy.

(B) is correct option.

D section a only still need help on this
SIZIF [17.4K]

Acceleration means speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The graph doesn't show anything about direction, so we just have to examine it for speeding up or slowing down ... any change of speed.

The y-axis of this graph IS speed. So the height of a point on the line is speed. If the line is going up or down, then speed is changing.

Sections a, c, and d are all going up or down. Section b is the only one where speed is not changing. So we can't be sure about b, because we don't know if the track may be curving ... the graph can't tell us that. But a, c, and d are DEFINITELY showing acceleration.

A spring stretches by 15cm when a mass of 300g hangs down from it,if the spring is then stretched an additional 10cm and release
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

0.1 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the object, m = 350 g = 0.35 kg

Spring constant of the spring, k = 5.2 N/m

Amplitude of the oscillation, A = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Frequency of a spring mass system is given by :
