A car changes speed from 25 m/s to 10 m/s in 240 seconds. Describe its acceleration.​

Physics
1 answer:
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time:

a = Δv / Δt

a = (10 m/s - 25 m/s) / (240 s - 0 s)

a = -0.0625 m/s²

So the car decelerates at 0.0625 m/s².

Which of the following would decrease the resistance in a wire?
padilas [110]

<u>Increase the thickness of the wire</u> would decrease the resistance in a wire

Explanation:

Thicker wires have a larger cross-section that increases the surface area with which electrons can flow unimpeded.  The thicker the wire, therefore, the lower the resistance.

Thin wires have very high resistance the reason the thin tungsten in a bulb glows because it is heated from the high resistance of many electrons trying to pass through a very small cross-section.

What is the only function of the pulleys in the diagram?
tia_tia [17]

The only function of the pulleys in the diagram is to change the direction

of the force applied to raise the bricks.

<h3>What is a Pulley?</h3>

A pulley is a wheel which has a flexible rope on its rim and helps to

transmit energy and motion.

In the diagram given, we can see that the pulley is used to raise a mass of

block by three people. They pull the rope horizontally in order to raise the

block vertically. This means that it was used to change the direction of the

applied force.

a missile is moving 1810 m/s at a 20.0 degree angle. it needs to hit a target 19,500 m away in a 32.0 degree direction in 9.20 s
Ket [755]

Answer:

112 m/s², 79.1°

Explanation:

In the x direction, given:

x₀ = 0 m

x = 19,500 cos 32.0° m

v₀ = 1810 cos 20.0° m/s

t = 9.20 s

Find: a

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

19,500 cos 32.0° = 0 + (1810 cos 20.0°) (9.20) + ½ a (9.20)²

a = 21.01 m/s²

In the y direction, given:

y₀ = 0 m

y = 19,500 sin 32.0° m

v₀ = 1810 sin 20.0° m/s

t = 9.20 s

Find: a

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

19,500 sin 32.0° = 0 + (1810 sin 20.0°) (9.20) + ½ a (9.20)²

a = 109.6 m/s²

The magnitude of the acceleration is:

a² = ax² + ay²

a² = (21.01)² + (109.6)²

a = 112 m/s²

And the direction is:

θ = atan(ay / ax)

θ = atan(109.6 / 21.01)

θ = 79.1°

Students are experimenting with circuits in their physics class and they build the two working circuits pictured below. The batt
bija089 [108]

The complete observation about adding bulb 3 is the brightness of the bulbs has to do with power which considers both the voltage and the current: less voltage x less current = dimmer bulbs.  In circuit A, the voltage is divided across the resistors and the current decreases as resistance increases.  In circuit B, the voltage is the same in each parallel section of the circuit and the current through that section of the circuit only depends on the resistor in that section.

<h3>What is power of the circuit?</h3>

The power of the bulb or any resistor is equal to the product of voltage and  current flowing through it.

P = VI

Circuit A has bulbs in series while the circuit B has bulbs in parallel.

When bulb 3 added to circuit A,  the brightness of all the bulbs dimmed but when bulb 3 (R3) added to circuit B, nothing changed in the brightness of the bulb.

The brightness is depended on the power of the circuit. When both the voltage and current are less, the bulb will be dimmed. In circuit A, series resistors divide the voltage across them. In circuit B, voltage is equal for all the resistors.

Thus, the last option is correct.

If 4 x 10^21 electrons pass through a wire connected to a 15 ohm resistor in 3 s, how much electric
sammy [17]

Answer:

1.) Current = 213.33A

2.) Potential difference = 3200 V

Explanation:

Given that

Number of electrons n = 4 x 10^21 electrons

Resistance R = 15 ohm

Time t = 3 s

From the definition of current ;

Current is the rate of flow of changes. That is,

Current I = Q/t

Where

Q = 4 × 10^21 × 1.6 × 10^-19

Q = 460C

Current I = 460/3

Current I = 213.33 A

Using Ohms law which state that

V = IR

Substitute the resistance R and current I into the formula above

Potential difference V = 213.3 × 15

Potential difference V = 3200 V
