A vw beetle goes from 0 to 60 mi/h with an acceleration of 2.35 m/s^2.

1 answer:

6 0

Part a.
u = 0, the initial velocity
v = 60 mi/h, the final velocity
a = 2.35 m/s², the acceleration.

Note that
1 m = 1609.34 m.
Therefore
v = (60 mi/h)*(1609.34 m/mi)*(1/3600 h/s) = 26.822 m/s
Use the formula
v = u + at
(26.822 m/s) = (2.35 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 26.822/2.35 = 11.4 s

Answer: 11.4 s

Part b.
We already determined that v = 60 mi/h = 26.822 m/s.
t = 0.6 s
Therefore
(26.822 m/s) = (a m/s²)*(0.6 s)
a = 26.822/0.6 = 44.7 m/s²

Answer: 44.7 m/s²

A metallic conductor has a resistivity of 35 × 10 −6 Ω⋅m. What is the resistance of a piece that is 20 m long and has a uniform

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Therefore the resistance of the conductor is 175Ω

Explanation:

Resistance:

Resistance of a metallic conductor is directly proportional to its length(l).

Resistance of a metallic conductor is inversely proportional to its cross section area(A).

The notation sign of resistance is R.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

Therefore,

$R \propto l$

and

$R \propto \frac{1}{A}$

$\therefore R\propto \frac{l}{A}$

$\Rightarrow R=\rho \frac{l}{A}$

ρ is the proportional constant.

It is also known as resistivity of that metal.

Given ρ=35×10⁻⁶Ω-m

l= 20 m

A= 4.0×10⁻⁶m²

$\therefore R=35\times 10^{-6}\times \frac{20}{4.0\times 10^{-6}}$

=175Ω

Therefore the resistance of the conductor is 175Ω

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

a. A = 0.735 m

b. T = 0.73 s

c. ΔE = 120 J decrease

d. The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision

Explanation:

4 kg * 10 m /s + 6 kg * 0 m/s = 10 kg* vmax

vmax = 4.0 m/s

¹/₂ * m * v²max = ¹/₂ * k * A²

m * v² = k * A² ⇒ 10 kg * 4 m/s = 100 N/m * A²

A = √1.6 m ² = 1.26 m

At = 2.0 m - 1.26 m = 0.735 m

T = 2π * √m / k ⇒ T = 2π * √4.0 kg / 100 N/m = 1.26 s

T = 2π *√ 10 / 100 *s² = 1.99 s

T = 1.99 s -1.26 s = 0.73 s

E = ¹/₂ * m * v²max =

E₁ = ¹/₂ * 4.0 kg * 10² m/s = 200 J

E₂ = ¹/₂ * 10 * 4² = 80 J

200 J - 80 J = 120 J decrease

The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision

Plane polarized light with intensity I0 is incident on a polarizer. What angle should the principle axis make with respenct to t

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Q = 47.06 degrees

Explanation:

Given:

- The transmitted intensity I = 0.464 I_o

- Incident Intensity I = I_o

Find:

What angle should the principle axis make with respect to the incident polarization

Solution:

- The relation of transmitted Intensity I to to the incident intensity I_o on a plane paper with its principle axis is given by:

I = I_o * cos^2 (Q)

- Where Q is the angle between the Incident polarized Light and its angle with the principle axis. Hence, Using the relation given above:

Q = cos ^-1 (sqrt (I / I_o))

- Plug the values in:

Q = cos^-1 ( sqrt (0.464))

Q = cos^-1 (0.6811754546)

Q = 47.06 degrees
