To solve this problem, we use the equation:

<span>d = (v^2  - v0^2) / 2a</span>

 

where,

d = distance of collapse

v0 = initial velocity = 101 km / h = 28.06 m / s

v = final velocity = 0

a = acceleration = - 300 m / s^2

 

d = (-28.06 m / s)^2 / (2 * - 300 m / s^2)

<span>d = 1.31 m</span>

Determine the current in the 7-ohm resistor for the circuit shown in the figure. Assume that the batteries are ideal and that al
seraphim [82]

Answer:

I₁ = 1.6 A (through 7 Ohm Resistor)

I₂ = 1.3 A (through 8 Ohm Resistor)

I₃ = I₁ - I₂ = 1.6 A - 1.3 A = 0.3 A (through 4 Ohm Resistor)

Explanation:

Here we consider two loops doe applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL). The 1st loop is the left side one with a voltage source of 12 V and the 2nd Loop is the right side one with a voltage source of 9 V. We name the sources and resistor's as follows:

R₁ = 7 Ω

R₂ = 4 Ω

R₃ = 8 Ω

V₁ = 12 V

V₂ = 9 V

Now, we apply KVL to 1st Loop:

V₁ = I₁R₁ + (I₁ - I₂)R₂

12 = 7I₁ + (I₁ - I₂)(4)

12 = 7I₁ + 4I₁ - 4I₂

I₁ = (12 + 4 I₂)/11   ------------ equation (1)

Now, we apply KVL to 2nd Loop:

V₂ = (I₂ - I₁)R₂ + I₂R₃

9 = (I₂ - I₁)(4) + 8I₂

9 = 4I₂ - 4I₁ + 8I₂

9 = 12I₂ - 4I₁   -------------- equation (2)

using equation (1)

9 = 12I₂ - 4[(12 + 4 I₂)/11]

99 = 132 I₂ -  48 - 16 I₂

147 = 116 I₂

I₂ = 147/116

I₂ = 1.3 A

use this value in equation 2:

9 = 12(1.3 A) - 4I₁

4I₁ = 15.6 - 9

I₁ = 6.6 A/4

I₁ = 1.6 A

Hence, the currents through all resistors are:

<u>I₁ = 1.6 A (through 7 Ohm Resistor)</u>

<u>I₂ = 1.3 A (through 8 Ohm Resistor)</u>

<u>I₃ = I₁ - I₂ = 1.6 A - 1.3 A = 0.3 A (through 4 Ohm Resistor)</u>

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, an object will accelerate if you apply what kind of force? Question 1 options: Frict
Bumek [7]

An unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

<h3>What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?</h3>

It states that the force applied to the object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

  • An object will accelerate when the net force applied on the object is more than zero or unbalanced.
  • The acceleration is the change in the direction or speed of the object. To achieve acceleration the force must be greater in a direction.

  • When force is greater in one the object move in that direction which is known as acceleration.

Therefore, an unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

MathPhys Help pls Tysm
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

8.75

Explanation:

First, find the force of friction.

Kinetic energy = work done by friction

½ mv² = Fd

½ (3.9 kg) (2.9 m/s)² = F (1.4 m)

F = 11.7 N

Next, find the distance at the new velocity.

Kinetic energy = work done by friction

½ mv² = Fd

½ (3.9 kg) (2.5 × 2.9 m/s)² = (11.7 N) d

d = 8.75 m
