Answer:

29 m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, i.e, the change in velocity per unit time.

The driver made the car to accelerate at 3 m/s^2. That means than in every second the velocity of the car increased by 3 m/s. Therefore in four seconds its velocity would increase by 3m/s x 4 = 12m/s. Starting with an initial velocity of 17 m/s the final velocity would be 17 m/s + 12 m/s = 29 m/s.

A car accelerates for 10 seconds. During this time, the angular

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

the angular acceleration of the car is 1.5 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity, $\omega_i$ = 10 rad/s

final angular velocity, $\omega_f$ = 25 rad/s

time of motion, t = 10 s

The angular acceleration of the car is calculated as follows;

$a_r = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i }{t} \\\\a_r = \frac{25-10}{10} = 1.5 \ rad/s^2$

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the car is 1.5 rad/s²

A high diver dives into a swimming pool. His potential energy at the top is 10,000 J (relative to the surface of the pool). What

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J

Explanation:

Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.

Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.

As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.

Energy before diving = Energy during diving

(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) = (Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy)

When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy

is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,

K.E. = $\frac{90}{100}\times10000$
