A car accelerates from rest to a speed 20 m/s in 12 s. Find the distance the car travels this time

Andrew [12]3 years ago

The first thing we need to do is figure out what equation to use. We will use the following kinematic equation...

Δx = (final velocity + initial velocity) x time / 2

We know that the car accelerates from rest, so initial velocity = 0 m/s
We also know final velocity = 20 m/s and time = 12s

Now we just need to plug everything in.

Δx = (20 x 12)/2 = 120 meters

A 6.89-nC charge is located 1.76 m from a 4.10-nC point charge. (a) Find the magnitude of the electrostatic force that one charg
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: a) 8.2 * 10^-8 N or 82 nN and b) is repulsive

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to use the Coulomb force for two point charged, it is given by:

F=\frac{k*q1*q2}{d^{2}}

Replacing the dat we obtain F=82 nN.

The force is repulsive because the points charged have the same sign.

A very narrow beam of white light is incident at 40.80° onto the top surface of a rectangular block of flint glass 11.6 cm thick
DerKrebs [107]
Dispersion angle = 0.3875 degrees. 
Width at bottom of block = 0.09297 cm 
Thickness of rainbow = 0.07038 cm 
 Snell's law provides the formula that describes the refraction of light. It is:
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 where
 n1, n2 = indexes of refraction for the different mediums
 Î¸1, θ2 = angle of incident rays as measured from the normal to the surface. 
 Solving for θ2, we get
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 n1*sin(θ1)/n2 = sin(θ2)
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2 
 The index of refraction for air is 1.00029, So let's first calculate the angles of the red and violet rays.
 Red:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.641) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.641) = θ2
 asin(0.398299876) = θ2
 23.47193844 = θ2 
 Violet:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.667) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.667) = θ2
 asin(0.39208764) = θ2
 23.08446098 = θ2 
 So the dispersion angle is:
 23.47193844 - 23.08446098 = 0.38747746 degrees. 
 Now to determine the width of the beam at the bottom of the glass block, we need to calculate the difference in the length of the opposite side of two right triangles. Both triangles will have a height of 11.6 cm and one of them will have an angle of 23.47193844 degrees, while the other will have an angle of 23.08446098 degrees. The idea trig function to use will be tangent, where
 tan(θ) = X/11.6
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 So for Red:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.47193844) = X
 11.6*0.434230136 = X
 5.037069579 = X 
 And violet:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.08446098) = X
 11.6*0.426215635 = X
 4.944101361 = X 
 So the width as measured from the bottom of the block is: 5.037069579 cm - 4.944101361 cm = 0.092968218 cm 
 The actual width of the beam after it exits the flint glass block will be thinner. The beam will exit at an angle of 40.80 degrees and we need to calculate the length of the sides of a 40.80/49.20/90 right triangle. If you draw the beams, you'll realize that:
 cos(θ) = X/0.092968218
 0.092968218*cos(θ) = X 
 0.092968218*cos(40.80) = X
 0.092968218*0.756995056 = X
 0.070376481 = X 
 So the distance between the red and violet rays is 0.07038 cm.

imagine we wanted to use telescopes to look for synestias in the same general part of the milky way galaxy where our solar syste
Naya [18.7K]

We might have a trouble viewing the general part of galaxy because :   the Milky Way's center is so brilliant and filled with stars, it has been particularly challenging for astronomers to examine it because it is impossible to distinguish individual stars and clusters.

<h3>What is a Milky Way ?</h3>

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

The Milky Way galaxy is made up of billions of stars, as well as gas and dust, which are all drawn to one another by gravitational pull, as well as a significant amount of dark matter. Our galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years [e1] across.

plz i need help fast................a motion along a straight line with a constant increase in velocity is ?​
Monica [59]

Answer:

uniform acceleration

Explanation:

The definition for uniform acceleration is:

if an object travels in  a straight line and its velocity increases or decreases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time, then the acceleration is said to be uniform.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
