A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes

and the car comes to a rest uniformly in a distance of 240 m. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force applied to the car to bring it to rest?

Answer:

The value of F= - 830 N

Since the force is negative, it implies direction of the force applied was due south.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 1000-kg

Distance, d = 240 m

Initial velocity, v1 = 20.0 m/s

Final velocity, v2 = 0 (since the car came to rest after brake was applied)

v2²= v1² + 2ad (using one of the equation of motion)

0=  20² + (2 x a x  240)

0= 400 + 480 a

a = - 400/480

a = - 0.83 m/s²

Then, imputing the value of a into

F = ma

F = 1000 kg x ( - 0.83 m/s²)

F= - 830 N

The car was driving toward the north, and since the force is negative, it implies direction of the force applied was due south.

dybincka [34]

ELECTROSTATIC:

relating to stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.

NEUTRAL:

nor negative nor positive/having no charge

POSITIVELY CHARGED:

positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons

NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

negative charge occurs when the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.

COULOMB:

SI unit for electric charge. One coulomb is equal to the amount of charge from a current of one ampere flowing for one second.

MICROCOULOMB:

a unit of electrical charge equal to one millionth of a coulomb.

NANOCOULOMB:

Nanocoulombs are a unit of charge 1,000,000,000 times smaller than Coulomb.

CONSERVATION OF CHARGE:

constancy of the total electric charge in the universe or in any specific chemical or nuclear reaction

QUANTISATION OF CHARGE:

Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.

Which of the following statements are true concerning the creation of magnetic fields? Check all that apply. Check all that appl
Andreas93 [3]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
  • A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
  • An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
  • A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • A magnetic field can be created by running electricity through a wire. All magnetic fields are created by moving charged particles. it is important to also note that charged particles create magnetic fields only when they are moving.
  • The strength of the magnetic field generated or created is proportional to the amount of current flowing through the wire. Thus, increasing the current increases the strength of the magnetic field.

Describe a scientific method
laila [671]

The process of <u>scientific method</u> involves making hypotheses , driving predictions from them as logical consequences , and then carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions. A hypotheses is a conjecture , based on knowledge obtained while seeking  answers to the questions.
