A speedboat is approaching a dock at 25 m/s (56 mph). When the dock is 150 m away, the driver begins to slow down. a) What accel

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a) -2.038 m/s²

b) 40.33 mph

c) 312.5 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-25^2}{2\times 150}\\\Rightarrow a=-2.083\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the boat is -2.083 m/s² if the boat will stop at 150 m.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times -1\times 150+25^2}\\\Rightarrow v=18.03\ m/s$

Speed of the boat by when it will hit the dock is 18.03 m/s

Converting to mph

$1\ mile=1609.34\ m$

$1\ h=3600\ seconds$

$18.03\times \frac{3600}{1609.34}=40.33\ mph$

Speed of the boat by when it will hit the dock is 40.33 mph

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-25^2}{2\times -1}\\\Rightarrow s=312.5\ m$

The distance at which the boat will have to start decelerating is 312.5 m

Which of the following are density labels? a. Kg/L b. g/m c. g/mL d. cm/g

bearhunter [10]

Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance. It has standard units of kg/m^3 or g/mL. So, the best answer is option C.

What are (a) the charge and (b) the charge density on the surface of a conducting sphere of radius 0.20 m whose potential is 240

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

(a) charge q=5.33 nC

(b) charge density σ=10.62 nC/m²

Explanation:

Given data

radius r=0.20 m

potential V=240 V

coulombs constant k=9×10⁹Nm²/C²

To find

(a) charge q

(b) charge density σ

Solution

For (a) charge q

$V_{potential}=kq/r\\ q=rV_{potential}/k\\q=\frac{(0.20)(240)}{9*10^{9} }\\ q=5.333*10^{-9}C\\or\\ q=5.33nC$

For (b) charge density

As charge density σ is given as:

σ=q/(4πR²)

σ=(5.333×10⁻⁹) / (4π×(0.20)²)

σ=10.62 nC/m²
