Answer

In this Question we have given

acceleration, a=3m/s^2

and time, t=2s

we have to find speed, v=?

Apply newton's Ist equation of motion which goes as

$[tex]v =u + at\\ Here v is final velocity\\u - initial velocity\\a-acceleration\\t- time$ [/tex]

In this problem the car starts from rest it means initial velocity, u =0.

Putting values of u, a and t in first equation of motion

$v=0+3*2\\v=6m/s$

Therefore speed of car after 2 second will be 6m/s

Note: In this type of problems. First check the units of all quatities. As all the quantities must be first changed into matching units i.e cgs or s.i. units before applying the equation.

The speed of an object undergoing constant acceleration increased from 8.0 meters per second to 16.0 meters per second in 10. Se

saw5 [17]

v₀ = initial speed of the object = 8 meter/second

v = final speed of the object = 16 meter/second

t = time taken to increase the speed = 10 seconds

d = distance traveled by the object in the given time duration = ?

using the kinematics equation

d = (v + v₀) t/2

inserting the above values in the above equation

d = (16 + 8) (10)/2

d = 120 meter

How can two tectonic plates move relative to each other

yarga [219]

They are doing the transform type of tectonic plate movement. This is a process where the plates move sideways. But they move at a rate of a few inches a year. Did that help you?

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin

lyudmila [28]

Part a) The work done by the gas on the bullet is the integral of the force in dx, where x is the distance covered by the bullet inside the barrel with respect to the origin:
$W= \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {F} \, dx = \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {(16000+10000x-26000x^2)} \, dx =$
$=16000x+10000 \frac{x^2}{2} - 26000 \frac{x^3}{3}$
By substituting the length of the barrel, L=0.540 m, we find the total work done by the gas on the bullet:
$W=16000(0.540m)+10000 \frac{(0.540m)^2}{2} - 26000 \frac{(0.540m)^3}{3} =$
$=8733 J=8.73 kJ$

part b) The resolution of the problem is the same, we just have to use the new length of the barrel (L=0.95 m) inside the final formula, and we find the new value of the work:
$W=16000(0.95m)+10000 \frac{(0.95m)^2}{2} - 26000 \frac{(0.95m)^3}{3} =$
$=12280 J=12.28 kJ$
