(a) Suppose that a NASCAR race car is moving to the right with a constant velocity of +82 m/s. What is the average acceleration

of the car? (b) Twelve seconds later, the car is halfway around the track and traveling in the opposite direction with the same speed. What is the average acceleration of the car?

<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity. Since the car is moving with the constant velocity it has no acceleration.
the car has no acceleration. Since there is still no change in the velocity of the car. </span>

A 2 kg melon is balanced on your bald uncle’s head. His son, Throckmorton, shoots a 50 g (0.05kg) arrow at it with a speed of 30
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The speed of the melon as it flies off the man’s head is 0.3 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the melon, m₁ = 2 kg

initial speed of the melon, u₁ = 0

mass of arrow, m₂ = 0.05 kg

initial speed of the arrow, u₂ = 30 m/s

final speed of the arrow, v₂ = 18 m/s

let v₁ be the final speed of the melon as it flies off the man's head.

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

2(0) + 0.05 x 30 = 2v₁  + 0.05 x 18

1.5 = 2v₁ + 0.9

2v₁ = 1.5 - 0.9

2v₁ = 0.6

v₁ = 0.6 / 2

v₁ = 0.3 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the melon as it flies off the man’s head is 0.3 m/s.

Differentiating States of Matter
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The state of matter in Gas state has the greatest amount of particle movement.

Explanation:

Matter is classified generally in three states of matter and that is solid state, liquid state and gas state. So each state has its own properties and arrangement of atoms. If we consider solid state, the atoms will be bonded very close to each other and thus the movement of particles or atoms are very much restricted in a solid state. If we consider liquid state, then the atoms will be somewhat loosely bonded compared to solid and so the particles can be somewhat flexible to move from their original position. While for gaseous state, they are the most loosely connected state and so the atoms can move as freely as possible with no restrictions. Thus the gas state of matter has the greatest amount of particle movement among the given choices.

A sailboat is traveling across the ocean with a speed of 4 m/s when large gusts of wind pick up that starts to accelerate the sa
Ivahew [28]

solution:

Using Cartesian co-ordinate system

Final velocity =v= -4m/s

Initial velocity = u

Acceleration a = m/s²

Time (t).= 60s

By the first kinematical equation

V= u +at

U = v – at

=(-4)-(-3)(60)

176m/s

So, initial velocity was 176m/s

A 1000-kg car traveling at 70 m/s takes 3 m to stop under full braking. the same car under similar road conditions, traveling at
azamat
We assume a=const (acceleration is constant. We apply the equation
v^2=v0^2+2as where s is the distance to stop v=0(m/s). We find the acceleration from this equation
a=-v0^2/(2s)=-70^2/(2*3) =-816.7 (m/s^2)&#10;
We know the acceleration, thus we find the distance necesssary to stop when initial speed is v=140 (m/s)
s=-v0^2/(2a) =140^2/(2*816.7)=12 (m)
