A car moves along an x axis through a distance of 900 m, starting at rest (at x = 0) and ending at rest (at x = 900 m). Through the first 1/4 of that distance, its acceleration is +6.25 m/s2. Through the next 3/4 of that distance, its acceleration is -2.08 m/s2. What are (a) its travel time through the 900 m and (b) its maximum speed?

Solve for the time at the 1/4 mark. That's 225 m. How? d = (1/2)at^2 ( initial velocity zero). Thus 225 = (1/2) 6.25 t^2. t^2 = ( 225 * 2 ) / 6.25. t = 8.5 sec. 

At the other end t^2 = (675 * 2) / 2.08 -- we reversed the sign and ran time backwards. t = 25.5 sec. 

So total time is 8.5 + 25.5 or 34 sec. 

Since zero initial velocity: v^2 = 2 a d. Here, v^2 = 2 * 6.25 * 225. v = 53 m/s. That's the fastest speed since braking then occurs.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

100-0 / 6 = 16.66 m/s

Explanation:

acceleration = vf-vi / time

vf= 100m/s

vi= 0 m/s

t= 6s

The rhinestones in costume jewelry are glass with index of refraction 1.50. To make them more reflective, they are often coated

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$T=62.9*10^{-9}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Index of refraction of Rinestones $\gamma_1 =1.5$

Index of refraction of silicon $\gamma_2 =2.0$

Wavelength $\lambda=576nm=576*10^{-9}$

Let each layer have thickness T

Therefore

Total Thickness =2T

Generally the equation for Constructive interference is mathematically given by

$2T=(m+0.5)\frac{l\lambda}{\gamma_2}$

Where

$M=0$

$2T=(0+0.5)\frac{576*10^{-9}}{2*2.0}$

$T=62.9*10^{-9}$

Which force binds the nucleus together despite the fact there are protons in close proximity to each other?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Strong Nuclear.

Explanation:

An atom contains protons, neutrons, and electrons. The nucleus of an atom consists of bound protons and neutrons (nucleons). The negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged protons and fall around the nucleus, much like a satellite is attracted to the gravity of the Earth. The positively-charged protons repel each other and aren't electrically attracted or repelled to the neutral neutrons, so you may wonder how the atomic nucleus sticks together and why protons don't fly off.

The explanation for why protons and neutrons stick together is known as "the strong force." The strong force is also known as the strong interaction, color force, or strong nuclear force. The strong force is much more powerful than the electrical repulsion between protons, however, the particles have to be close to each other for it to stick them together.
