A dragster going 15m/s increases its velocity to 25 m/s north in 4 seconds.

1 answer:

3 0

Initial speed, v₁ = 15 m/s
Final speed, v₂ = 25 m/s
Duration of the acceleration, t = 4 s

Calculate the acceleration.
a = (v₂ - v₁)/t
= (25-15 m/s)/(4 s)
= 2.5 m/s²

Answer: 2.5 m/s²

An insulating cup contains 200 grams of water at 25 ∘C. Some ice cubes at 0 ∘C is placed in the water. The system comes to equil

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The amount of ice added in gram is 32.77g

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the heat capacity of materials

Given data

Mass of water Mw= 200g

Temperature of water θw= 25°c

Temperature of ice θice= 0°c

Equilibrium Temperature θe= 12°c

Mass of ice Mi=???

The specific heat of ice Ci= 2090 J/(kg ∘C)

specific heat of water Cw = 4186 J/(kg ∘C)

latent heat of the ice to water transition Li= 3.33 x10^5 J/kg

heat heat loss by water = heat gained by ice

N/B let us understand something, heat gained by ice is in two phases

Heat require to melt ice at 0°C to water at 0°C

And the heat required to take water from 0°C to equilibrium temperature

Hence

MwCwΔθ=MiLi +MiCiΔθ

Substituting our data we have

200*4186*(25-12)=Mi*3.3x10^5+

Mi*2090(12-0)

837200*13=Mi*3.3x10^5+Mi*2090

10883600=332090Mi

Mi=10883600/332090

Mi= 32.77g

A punter wants to kick a football so that the football has a total flight time of 4.70s and lands 56.0m away (measured along the

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

How long does the football need to rise?

4.70/3 = 2.35 s

What height will the football reach?

h = ½(9.81)2.35² = 27.1 m

With what speed does the punter need to kick the football?

vy = g•t = 9.81(2.35) = 23.1 m/s

vx = d/t = 56.0/4.70 = 11.9 m/s

v = √(vx²+vy²) = 26.0 m/s

At what angle (θ), with the horizontal, does the punter need to kick the football?

θ = arctan(vy/vx) = 62.7°

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km. What is his displacement from the

Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

$D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km$

For direction,

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.
