Answer:

15.8 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 32 m/s.

Acceleration (a) = – 1.5 m/s²

Time (t) = 10.8 s.

Final velocity (v) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration (a) = [final velocity (v) – initial velocity (u)] / time (t)

a = (v – u) /t

With the above formula, we can obtain the final velocity of go-cart driver as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 32 m/s.

Acceleration (a) = – 1.5 m/s²

Time (t) = 10.8 s.

Final velocity (v) =?

a = (v – u) /t

– 1.5 = (v – 32) / 10.8

Cross multiply

(v – 32) = –1.5 × 10.8

v – 32 = – 16.2

Collect like terms

v = – 16.2 + 32

v = 15.8 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of go-cart driver is 15.8 m/s.

determine the potential difference between two charged parallel plates that are .10 cm apart and have an electric field strength
mote1985 [20]
The potential difference between two parallel plates is related to the electric field intensity by
\Delta V = Ed
where
\Delta V is the potential difference
E is the electric field intensity
d is the distance between the two plates.

In our problem,
d=0.10 cm
and 
E=12 V/cm
so we can calculate the potential difference as
\Delta V= Ed = (12 V/cm)(0.10 cm)=1.2 V

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

Centripetal force tends to keep an object moving within a circular or curved path to maintain its course while centripetal acceleration is what tends to accelerate the object towards the centre of the curve or circle

A dummy is fired vertically upward from a canon with a speed of 40 m/s. How long is the dummy in the air? What is the dummies ma
Ket [755]

KINEMATICS

Uniform or constant motion in a straight line (rectilinear). Speed or velocity constant and/or acceleration constant. If motion is up and down and/or has an up and down component then acceleration omn earth will be g. g is about 10m/s/s.


speed = distance/time

velocity = displacement/time

s=distance ... u=initial speed ... v = final speed ... a = acceleration ... t = time


v=u+at

v^2=u^2+2as

s=ut+1/2at^2

If a force on an object is aimed in the direction of the object’s velocity, the force does: a. no work.
Paraphin [41]

Answer: If a force on an object is aimed in the direction of the object’s velocity, the force does positive work (b).

Explanation:

Hi, the answer is oprion b. positive work.

If a force on an object is aimed in the direction of the object’s velocity, the force does positive work.

An object's kinetic energy will only change if the force acting on the object changes the object's speed. This will only happen if there is a component of the force in the direction that the object moves.

So, A force will do work only if the force has a component in the direction that the object moves.
