Doc Brown has calculated his Delorean can accelerate at a rate of 2.52 m/s/s. How
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

304.89m

Explanation:

Given

acceleration a = 2.52m/s²

final speed v = 39.2m/s

initial speed = 0m/s (car accelerates from rest)

Using the equation of motion below to get the distance of Doc brown from Marty;

v² = u²+2as

substitute the given parameters

39.2² = 0²+2(2.52)s

1536.64 = 0+5.04s

divide both sides by 5.04

1536.64/5.04 = 5.04s/5.04

rearrange the equation

5.04s/5.04 = 1536.64/5.04

s = 304.89m

Hence He and Marty must stand at 304.89m to allow the car to accelerate from rest to a speed  of 39.2 m/s?

This force will cause the path of the particle to curve. Therefore, at a later time, the direction of the force will ___________
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

have a component along the direction of motion that remains perpendicular to the direction of motion

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to enter which sentence is correct, let's start by writing Newton's second law.

circular movement

          F = m a

          a = v² / r

          F = m v²/R

where the force is perpendicular to the velocity, all the force is used to change the direction of the velocity

in linear motion

         F = m a

where the force is parallel to the acceleration of the body, the total force is used to change the modulus of the velocity

the correct answer is: have a component along the direction of motion that remains perpendicular to the direction of motion

A sled of mass 2.12 kg has an initial speed of 5.49 m/s across a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between
Darya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.12 kg

Initial speed = 5.49 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.229

Distance = 3.89 m

We need to calculate the acceleration of sled

Using formula of acceleration

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

Where, F = frictional force

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{\mu mg}{m}

a=\mu g

a=0.229\times9.8

a=2.244\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the speed of the sled

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2-2as

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

Put the value in the equation

v ^2=(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89

v=\sqrt{(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89}

v=3.56\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s.

Calculate the period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m
otez555 [7]

Answer: The period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m is 5.73 sec.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 5 kg

Spring constant = 6 N/m

Formula used to calculate period is as follows.

T = 2 \pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}

where,

T = period

m = mass

k = spring constant

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

T = 2 \pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}\\= 2 \times 3.14 \times \sqrt\frac{5}{6}\\= 5.73 s

Thus, we can conclude that the period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m is 5.73 sec.

An experiment is performed in the lab, where the mass and the volume of an object are measured to determine its density. Two com
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

d. the same within the uncertainty of each measurement method

Explanation:

The density of an object and in general any physical property, has the same value regardless of the method used to measure it, either directly or indirectly. Since two completely different valid methods are used, the results must be the same, taking into account the level of precision of each of the methods.
