The instantaneous velocity is zero at point C and G.

Further Explanation:

The velocity of an object in motion at a specific time and at specific point is termed as instantaneous velocity. Along a path of motion the given points can be separated by some finite distance.

Concept:

The expression for the instantaneous velocity is:

\fbox{\begin\\v=\dfrac{{{x_1} - {x_o}}}{{{t_1} - {t_o}}}\end{minispace}}

Here, v is the velocity, {x_o} is the initial position, {x_1} is the final position, {t_1} is the final time and {t_o} is the initial time.

For instantaneous velocity at point A:

Substitute 20\text{ m} for {x_o}, 40\text{ m} for {x_1}, 0\text{ s} for {t_o} and 3\text{ s} for {t_1} in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}\\v&=\frac{{40{\text{ m}}-20{\text{ m}}}}{{3{\text{ s}}-0{\text{ s}}}}\\&=\frac{{20}}{3}{\text{ m/s}}\\&=6.67{\text{ m/s}}\\\end{aligned}

For instantaneous velocity at point B:

Substitute 20\text{ m} for {x_o}, 40\text{ m} for {x_1}, 0\text{ s} for {t_o} and 3\text{ s} for {t_1} in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}\\v&=\frac{{40{\text{ m}}-20{\text{ m}}}}{{3{\text{ s}}-0{\text{ s}}}}\\&=\frac{{20}}{3}{\text{ m/s}}\\&=6.67{\text{ m/s}}\\\end{aligned}

For instantaneous velocity at point C:

Substitute 40\text{ m} for {x_o}, 40\text{ m} for {x_1}, 3\text{ s} for {t_o} and 5\text{ s} for {t_1} in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}v&=\frac{{40{\text{ m}}-40{\text{ m}}}}{{{\text{5 s}}-3{\text{ s}}}}\\&=\frac{{-0{\text{ m}}}}{2}{\text{ m/s}}\\&=0{\text{ m/s}}\\ \end{aligned}

For instantaneous velocity at point D:

Substitute 40\text{ m} for {x_o}, 0\text{ m} for {x_1}, 5\text{ s} for {t_o} and 6\text{ s} for {t_1} in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}v&=\frac{{0{\text{ m}}-40{\text{ m}}}}{{{\text{6 s}}-5{\text{ s}}}}\\&=\frac{{-40{\text{ m}}}}{1}{\text{ m/s}} \\ &=-40{\text{ m/s}}\\ \end{aligned}

For instantaneous velocity at point E:

Substitute 40\text{ m} for {x_o}, 0\text{ m} for {x_1}, 5\text{ s} for {t_o} and 6\text{ s} for {t_1} in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}v&=\frac{{0{\text{ m}}-40{\text{ m}}}}{{{\text{6 s}}-5{\text{ s}}}}\\&=\frac{{-40{\text{ m}}}}{1}{\text{ m/s}}\\&=-40{\text{ m/s}}\\ \end{aligned}

For instantaneous velocity at point F:

Substitute 40\text{ m} for {x_o}, 0\text{ m} for {x_1}, 5\text{ s} for {t_o} and 6\text{ s} for {t_1} in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}v&=\frac{{0{\text{ m}}-40{\text{ m}}}}{{{\text{6 s}}-5{\text{ s}}}}\\&=\frac{{-40{\text{ m}}}}{1}{\text{ m/s}}\\&=-40{\text{ m/s}}\\ \end{aligned}

For instantaneous velocity at point G:

The instantaneous velocity is 0\text{ m/s}, because slope at on the curve at point G is parallel to the time axis.

Therefore, the instantaneous velocity is zero at point C and G.

A. A land speed car can decelerate at 9.8m/s. How long does it take the car to come to a complete stop from a run of 885 km/hr (
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A. 25.08 s

B. 3082.53 m

C. 3×10⁵ m/s²

Explanation:

A. Determination of the time.

This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Acceleration (a) = –9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 245.8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time (t) =.?

v = u + at

0 = 245.8 + (–9.8 × t)

0 = 245.8 – 9.8t

Collect like terms

0 – 245.8 = – 9.8t

– 245.8 = – 9.8t

Divide both side by –9.8

t = –245.8 / –9.8

t = 25.08 s

Therefore, it will take 25.08 s for the car to come to a complete stop.

B. Determination of the distance travelled by the car.

Acceleration (a) = –9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 245.8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 245.8² + (2 × –9.8 × s)

0 = 60417.64 – 19.6s

Collect like terms

0 – 60417.64 = – 19.6s

– 60417.64 = – 19.6s

Divide both side by –19.6

s = –60417.64 / –19.6

s = 3082.53 m

Thus, the car travelled a distance of 3082.53 m before stopping completely.

C. Determination of the acceleration of the object.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 600 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.6 m

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

600² = 0² + (2 × a × 0.6)

360000 = 0 + 1.2a

360000 = 1.2a

Divide both side by 1.2

a = 360000 / 1.2

a = 300000 = 3×10⁵ m/s²

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

    E = -4000 N / C

Explanation:

The potential and electric field are related

         V = - E s

          E = - V / s

we reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          s = 4 mm (1 m / 1000 mm) = 0.004 m

we calculate

          E = - 16 /0.004

          E = -4000 N / C

Answer:

a) b) d)

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The Complete question might be

In an inertial frame of reference, a series of experiments is conducted. In each experiment, two or three forces are applied to an object. The magnitudes of these forces are given. No other forces are acting on the object. In which cases may the object possibly remain at rest? The forces applied are as follows: Check all that apply.

a)2 N; 2 N

b) 200 N; 200 N

c) 200 N; 201 N

d) 2 N; 2 N; 4 N

e) 2 N; 2 N; 2 N

f) 2 N; 2 N; 3 N

g) 2 N; 2 N; 5 N

h ) 200 N; 200 N; 5 N

For th object to remain at rest, sum of all forces must be equal to zero. Use minus sign to show opposing forces

a) 2+(-2)=0 here minus sign is to show the opposing firection of force

b) 200+(-200)=0

c) 200+(-201)\neq0

d) 2+2+(-4)=0

The resource speaks of the atmosphere as if it were living, in the sense that as the earth's surface is heated by the light from
Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

The uneven heating causes temperature differences, which in turn cause air currents (wind) to develop, which then move heat from where there is more heat (higher temperatures) to where there is less heat (lower temperatures). The atmosphere thus becomes a giant "heat engine", continuously driven by the sun.

Wind is the result of pressure changes in the atmosphere due to temperature.
