Suppose a car is traveling at +25.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.340 s has elapsed (the reaction t

ime), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 7.00 m/s2.

First, we will get the distance traveled before the driver applied the brakes.
distance = velocity * time
distance = 25*0.34 = 8.5 m

Now, we will calculated the distance that the car traveled after the driver applied the brakes. To do this, we will use the equation of motion:
<span>vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d where:
</span>vf = zero, vi = 25 m/s and a = -7 m/s^2
Note: The negative sign is only to show deceleration 
d = <span> 1/2*(625) /(7) = 44.6428 m

The total stopping distance =</span> 8.5 + 44.6428 = 53.1428 m

Compute your average velocity in the following two cases: (a) You walk 50.2 m at a speed of 2.21 m/s and then run 50.2 m at a sp
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a) 2.87 m/s

b) 3.23 m/s

Explanation:

The avergare velocity can be found dividing the length traveled d by the total time t.

a)

For the first part we easily know the total traveled length which is:

d = 50.2 m + 50.2 m = 100.4 m

The time can be found dividing the distance by the velocity:

t1 = 50.2 m / 2.21 m/s = 22.7149 s

t2 = 50.2 m / 4.11 m/s = 12.2141 s

t = t1 +t2 = 34.9290 s

Therefore, the average velocity is:

v = d/t =2.87 m/s

b)

Here we can easily know the total time:

t = 1 min + 1.16 min = 129.6 s

Now the distance wil be found multiplying each velocity by the time it has travelled:

d1 = 2.21 m/s * 60 s = 132.6 m

d2 = 4.11 m/s *(1.16 * 60 s) = 286.056 m

d = 418.656 m

Therefore, the average velocity is:

v = d/t =3.23 m/s

What is the distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond?
ZanzabumX [31]
The correct answer is (a.) a parsec. A parsec is a distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond. This unit of measurement is usually used in astronomy which makes it easier for astronomers to calculate or measure in space accurately.

A room with 3.1-m-high ceilings has a metal plate on the floor with V = 0V and a separate metal plate on the ceiling. A 1.1g gla
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The ball traveled 0.827 m

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the metal plates of the room, d = 3.1 m

mass of the glass, m = 1.1g

charge on the glass, q = 4.7 nC

speed of the glass ball, v = 4.8 m/s

voltage of the ceiling, V = +3.0 x 10⁶ V

The repulsive force experienced by the ball when shot to the ceiling with positive voltage, can be calculated using Coulomb's law;

F = qV/d

|F| = (4.7 x 10⁻⁹ x 3 x  10⁶) / (3.1)

|F| = 4.548 x 10⁻³ N

F = - 4.548 x 10⁻³ N

The net horizontal force experienced by this ball is;

F_{net} = F_c - mg\\\\F_{net} = -4.548 *10^{-3} - (1.1*10^{-3} * 9.8)\\\\F_{net} = -15.328*10^{-3} \ N

The work done between the ends of the plate is equal to product of the  magnitude of net force on the ball and the distance traveled by the ball.

W = F_{net} *h\\\\W = 15.328 *10^{-3} *  h

W = K.E

15.328*10^{-3} *h = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\ 15.328*10^{-3} *h = \frac{1}{2}(1.1*10^{-3})(4.8)^2\\\\ 15.328*10^{-3} *h =0.0127\\\\h = \frac{0.0127}{15.328*10^{-3}}\\\\ h = 0.827 \ m

Therefore, the ball traveled 0.827 m
