Hey there, the answer is ..............................  About 0.7 m/sec^2
<span>
Acceleration is the change in speed / time </span>

<span>Change in speed is 60 m/sec </span>

<span>Time is 1 minute 25 second. Convert that to seconds. </span>

<span>Divide the change in speed by the time in seconds.

About 0.7 m/sec^2

 </span><span>So the acceleration is - 60 / 85 = - 0.71 m/s^2 

HOPE I HELPED!!!!!!!!!!

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1200 kg automobile moving at 18 m/s .
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

194,400 joules of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Remember that to calculate the Kinetic energy you need to use the next formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2

We know that Mass= 1200 kg and velocity is 18m/s, so we insert those values into the formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2\\Ke=\frac{1}{2}1200kg*(18m/s)^2\\Ke=194,400 joules

So the kinetic energy of a car moving at 18m/s with a mass of 1200 kg would be 194,400 joules.

A cross-country skier slides horizontally along the snow and comes to rest after sliding a distance of 11 m. If the coefficient
Basile [38]

Answer:

v_o = 4.54 m/s  

Explanation:

<u>Knowns  </u>

From equation, the work done on an object by a constant force F is given by:  

W = (F cos Ф)S                                   (1)  

Where S is the displacement and Ф is the angle between the force and the displacement.  

From equation, the kinetic energy of an object of mass m moving with velocity v is given by:  

K.E=1/2m*v^2                                       (2)

From The work- energy theorem , the net work done W on an object equals the difference between the initial and the find kinetic energy of that object:  

W = K.E_f-K.E_o                                 (3)

<u>Given </u>

The displacement that the sled undergoes before coming to rest is s = 11.0 m and the coefficient of the kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is μ_k = 0.020  

<u>Calculations</u>

We know that the kinetic friction force is given by:

f_k=μ_k*N

And we can get the normal force N by applying Newton's second law to the sled along the vertical direction, where there is no acceleration along this direction, so we get:  

∑F_y=N-mg

     N=mg

Thus, the kinetic friction force is:  

f_k = μ_k*N  

Since the friction force is always acting in the opposite direction to the motion, the angle between the force and the displacement is Ф = 180°.  

Now, we substitute f_k and Ф into equation (1), so we get the work done by the friction force:  

W_f=(f_k*cos(180) s

      =-μ_k*mg*s

Since the sled eventually comes to rest, K.E_f= 0 So, from equation (3), the net work done on the sled is:  

W= -K.E_o    

Since the kinetic friction force is the only force acting on the sled, so the net work on the sled is that of the kinetic friction force  

W_f= -K.E_o  

From equation (2), the work done by the friction force in terms of the initial speed is:  

W_f=-1/2m*v^2  

Now, we substitute for W_f= -μ_k*mg*s, and solving for v_o so we get:  

-μ_k*mg*s = -1/2m*v^2  

v_o = √ 2μ_kg*s

Finally, we plug our values for s and μ_k, so we get:  

v_o = √2 x (0.020) x (9.8 m/s^2) x (11.0 m) = 4.54 m/s  

v_o = 4.54 m/s

Radiation from the Sun The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. T
Zina [86]

a) Total power output: 3.845\cdot 10^{26} W

b) The relative percentage change of power output is 1.67%

c) The intensity of the radiation on Mars is 540 W/m^2

Explanation:

a)

The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is given by

I=\frac{P}{A}

where

P is the power output

A is the surface area considered

In this problem, we have

I=1360 W/m^2 is the intensity of the solar radiation at the Earth

The area to be considered is area of a sphere of radius

r=1.5\cdot 10^{11} m (distance Earth-Sun)

Therefore

A=4\pi r^2 = 4 \pi (1.5\cdot 10^{11})^2=2.8\cdot 10^{23}m^2

And now, using the first equation, we can find the total power output of the Sun:

P=IA=(1360)(2.8\cdot 10^{23})=3.845\cdot 10^{26} W

b)

The energy of the solar radiation is directly proportional to its frequency, given the relationship

E=hf

where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant, f is the frequency.

Also, the power output of the Sun is directly proportional to the energy,

P=\frac{E}{t}

where t is the time.

This means that the power output is proportional to the frequency:

P\propto f

Here the frequency increases by 1 MHz: the original frequency was

f_0 = 60 MHz

so the relative percentage change in frequency is

\frac{\Delta f}{f_0}\cdot 100 = \frac{1}{60}\cdot 100 =1.67\%

And therefore, the power also increases by 1.67 %.

c)

In this second  case, we have to calculate the new power output of the Sun:

P' = P + \frac{1.67}{100}P =1.167P=1.0167(3.845\cdot 10^{26})=3.910\cdot 10^{26} W

Now we want to calculate the intensity of the radiation measured on Mars. Mars is 60% farther from the Sun than the Earth, so its distance from the Sun is

r'=(1+0.60)r=1.60r=1.60(1.5\cdot 10^{11})=2.4\cdot 10^{11}m

Now we can find the radiation intensity with the equation

I=\frac{P}{A}

Where the area is

A=4\pi r'^2 = 4\pi(2.4\cdot 10^{11})^2=7.24\cdot 10^{23} m^2

And substituting,

I=\frac{3.910\cdot 10^{26}}{7.24\cdot 10^{23}}=540 W/m^2
