A car goes from rest to a velocity of 108 km/h north in 10s what is the car's acceleration in m/s2
fomenos

initial velocity of the car given as

v_i = 0

final velocity is given as

v_f = 108 km/h

as we know that

1 km/h = 0.277 m/s

now we can convert final speed into m/s

v_f = 108 * 0.277 = 30 m/s

now acceleration is rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{30 - 0}{10}

a = 3 m/s^2

so the acceleration of the car is 3 m/s^2

A boat carving people more than its capacity is at risk of sinking, why?​
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Explained below.

Explanation:

For a boat or any object to float on water, it's density must be less than that of water.

Now, when the maximum capacity of people to be carried by the boat is exceeded, it's possible that the maximum mass of people will also be exceeded depending on the mass of the people in the boat.

Now, we know that; density = mass/volume.

Thus, the higher the mass of the people, the higher the density and the higher the density, the more likely it is to be above that of water and the more likely it is to sink.

A system dissipates 12 J of heat into the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 J of work is done on the system. What is the change of the
timurjin [86]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

energy dissipated by the system to the surrounding = 12 J

Work done on the system = 28 J

change in internal energy of the system

Δ U = Q - W

system losses energy = - 12 J

work done = -28 J

Δ U = Q - W

Δ U = -12 -(-28)

Δ U = 16 J

hence, the correct answer is option C

A river 500 ft wide flows with a speed of 8 ft/s with respect to the earth. A woman swims with a speed of 4 ft/s with respect to
White raven [17]

Answer:

1) \Delta s=1000\ ft

2)  \Delta s'=998.11\ ft.s^{-1}

3) t\approx125\ s

t'\approx463.733\ s

Explanation:

Given:

width of river, w=500\ ft

speed of stream with respect to the ground, v_s=8\ ft.s^{-1}

speed of the swimmer with respect to water, v=4\ ft.s^{-1}

<u>Now the resultant of the two velocities perpendicular to each other:</u>

v_r=\sqrt{v^2+v_s^2}

v_r=\sqrt{4^2+8^2}

v_r=8.9442\ ft.s^{-1}

<u>Now the angle of the resultant velocity form the vertical:</u>

\tan\beta=\frac{v_s}{v}

\tan\beta=\frac{8}{4}

\beta=63.43^{\circ}

  • Now the distance swam by the swimmer in this direction be d.

so,

d.\cos\beta=w

d\times \cos\ 63.43=500

d=1118.034\ ft

Now the distance swept downward:

\Delta s=\sqrt{d^2-w^2}

\Delta s=\sqrt{1118.034^2-500^2}

\Delta s=1000\ ft

2)

On swimming 37° upstream:

<u>The velocity component of stream cancelled by the swimmer:</u>

v'=v.\cos37

v'=4\times \cos37

v'=3.1945\ ft.s^{-1}

<u>Now the net effective speed of stream sweeping the swimmer:</u>

v_n=v_s-v'

v_n=8-3.1945

v_n=4.8055\ ft.s^{-1}

<u>The  component of swimmer's velocity heading directly towards the opposite bank:</u>

v'_r=v.\sin37

v'_r=4\sin37

v'_r=2.4073\ ft.s^{-1}

<u>Now the angle of the resultant velocity of the swimmer from the normal to the stream</u>:

\tan\phi=\frac{v_n}{v'_r}

\tan\phi=\frac{4.8055}{2.4073}

\phi=63.39^{\circ}

  • Now let the distance swam in this direction be d'.

d'\times \cos\phi=w

d'=\frac{500}{\cos63.39}

d'=1116.344\ ft

<u>Now the distance swept downstream:</u>

\Delta s'=\sqrt{d'^2-w^2}

\Delta s'=\sqrt{1116.344^2-500^2}

\Delta s'=998.11\ ft.s^{-1}

3)

Time taken in crossing the rive in case 1:

t=\frac{d}{v_r}

t=\frac{1118.034}{8.9442}

t\approx125\ s

Time taken in crossing the rive in case 2:

t'=\frac{d'}{v'_r}

t'=\frac{1116.344}{2.4073}

t'\approx463.733\ s
