Answer:

the direction of acceleration of the vehicle is the same direction of its velocity of car

s acceleration has the opposite direction to the car speed.

Explanation:

The initial acceleration of the car can be calculated with

          v = v₀ + a t

          a = (v-v₀) t

       

indicate that the initial velocity is zero (v₀ = 0 m / s)

         a = v / t

         a = 300 / t

the direction of acceleration of the vehicle is the same direction of its acceleration movement.

When the car collides with the wall, it exerts a force in the opposite direction that stops the vehicle, therefore this acceleration has the opposite direction to the car speed. But your module must be much larger since the distance traveled to stop is small

An object of mass 2.0 kg is attached to the top of a vertical spring that is anchored to the floor. The unstressed length of the
poizon [28]

Answer:

The value is A  =  0.014 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the object is  m  =  2.0 \  kg

    The unstressed length of the string is  l  =  0.08 \  m

    The length of the spring when it is  at equilibrium is  l_e = 5.9 \  cm  =  0.059 \  m

      The initial speed (maximum speed)of the spring when given a downward blow v  =  0.30 \  m/s

Generally the maximum speed  of the spring  is mathematically represented as

           u =  A *  w

Here A is maximum height above the floor (i.e the maximum amplitude)

            and w is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as

       w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

So

        u =  A *   \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

=>      A  =  u *   \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Gnerally the length of the compression(Here an assumption that the spring was compressed to the ground by the hammer is made) by the hammer is mathematically represented as

           b  =  l -l_e

=>         b  = 0.08 - 0.05 9

=>         b  = 0.021 \  m

Generally at equilibrium position the net force acting on the spring is  

            k *  b  -  mg  =  0

=>         k *  0.021   -   2 * 9.8  =  0

=>        k =  933 \  N/m

So

            A  =  0.30  *   \sqrt{\frac{2}{933} }

=>          A  =  0.014 \  m

Find the west component of 45 m 19º S of W
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The west component of the given vector is - 42.548 meters.

Explanation:

We need to translate the sentence into a vectoral expression in rectangular form, which is defined as:

(x, y) = (r_{x}, r_{y})

Where:

r_{x} - Horizontal component of vector distance, measured in meters.

r_{y} - Vertical component of vector distance, measured in meters.

Let suppose that east and north have positive signs, then we get the following expression:

(x, y) = (-45\cdot \cos 19^{\circ}, -45\cdot \sin 19^{\circ})\,[m]

(x, y) = (-42.548,-14.651)\,[m]

The west component corresponds to the first component of the ordered pair. That is to say:

x = -42.548\,m

The west component of the given vector is - 42.548 meters.

Archimedes supposedly was asked to determine whether a crown made for the king consisted of pure gold (density of gold is 19.3 ×
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, we can find the mass of the object in air

Since W = mg

m = W/g = (8.9)/(9.8) = 0.908 kg

Then, by Archimedes principle, we can find its volume. The volume is found by the weight of the water displaced by the formula

W = Vρg

The Weight is the difference in scale readings. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3

(8.9- 7.8) = V(1000)(9.8)

Thus V = 1 X 10-4 m3

Then, since density is mass / volume

ρ = 0.908/1 X 10-4

ρ = 8254 kg/m3 which is 8 X 103 kg/m3

The density of gold is 19.3 X 103 kg/m3

Since those densities are not the same, the crown is either hollow or not pure gold
