The initial velocity of the car is 11 m/s.

Explanation:

  • Here, we can use the equations of motions.
  • The first of equation of motion is v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
  • The given parameters are,

Final velocity, v = 20 m/s

acceleration of the care, a = 2 m/s^{2}

time, t = 3 s

Initial velocity, u = ?

  • Hence, the equation can be written as u = v - at

once you substitute all these vales, you will get u = 11 m/s

Which of the following actions would decrease the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor when a constant potential differen
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

increasing the separation between the plates

Explanation:

The increase in the vacuum/separation between the plates in a parallel plate capacitor connected to a constant potential difference decreases the energy stored in the capacitor. the increase in the separation of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor reduces the capacitance of the capacitor because

Q(charge) = CV  V = VOLTAGE , c = capacitance  

E = 1/2 eAV^2/ D  ( ENERGY STORED )

where D = distance between plates, e = dielectric, A = area of capacitor , V = potential difference

What is the mass of a stone moving at a speed of 15 meters/second and having a momentum of 7.5 kilogram - meters / seconds
Elanso [62]

Answer:

0.5 kg

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is defined as

p = mv

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

In this problem we have,

v = 15 m/s is the velocity of the stone

p = 7.5 kg m/s is the momentum

Solving for m, we can find the mass of the stone:

m=\frac{p}{v}=\frac{7.5 kg m/s}{15 m/s}=0.5 kg
