A car traveling at 24 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 8 seconds. What is its acceleration?

1 answer:

6 0

Formula for velocity:
V(t) = Vi + at
Where V(t) is velocity at time t, Vi is initital velocity, and a is acceleration.
Solving for a:
V(8) = Vi + a(8)
V(8) = 0 (car has stopped)
0 = 24 + 8a
-24 = 8a
a = -3 m/s/s

You observe a spiral galaxy with a large central bulge and tightly wrapped arms. It would be classified a

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Spiral Galaxies -

It is a disk shaped galaxies which have spiral structure , is refereed to as spiral galaxies .

According to Hubble , these galaxies are classified as Sa , Sb , Sc .

Where ,

Sa - have the structure , which is bulged from the central portion , along with a tightly wrapped spiral structure .

Sb - have a lesser bulge and the spiral is looser .

Sc - It has very weak bulge with the open spiral structure .

Hence , from the question ,

The given information is about the Sa .

Find the volume for 30 points.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

336.78 cubic feet

Explanation:

total volume= volume of cuboid + volume of cylinder

= lxbxh + π r^2h

= 9x7x4 + 3.14x(3)^2 x3

= 252+ 84.78

= 336.78 cubic feet

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor. The charge per unit area on each plate is

amm1812

Answer: $1.066\times 10^7 m/s$

Explanation:

Given

Charge per unit area on each plate( $\sigma$ )= $2.2\times 10^{-7}$

Plate separation(y)=0.013 m

and velocity is given by

$v^2-u^2=2ay$

where a=acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{eE}{m}$

e=charge on electron

E=electric field

m=mass of electron

$E=\frac{\sigma }{\epsilon _0}$

$a=\frac{e\sigma }{m\epsilon _0}$

substituting values

$v=sqrt{\frac{2e\sigma y}{m\epsilon _0}}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2.2\times 10^{-7}\times 0.013}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}$

$v=1.066\times 10^7 m/s$
