A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of 72 km per hour over a distance of 500m. calculate acceleration​

Physics

Kisachek [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

0.4 m/s^2 or 5184 km/h^2

Explanation:

To find the acceleration, given the inicial and final speed of the car, we can use the Torricelli's formula:

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2*a*D

Where V is the final speed, Vo is the inicial speed, a is the acceleration and D is the distance travelled. So, with V = 72 km/h, Vo = 0 (starts from rest) and D = 0.5 km, we have:

72^2 = 0 ^2 + 2*a*0.5

a = 72^2 = 5184 km/h^2

For an acceleration in m/s^2, we should use the speed in meters per second (72 / 3.6 = 20 m/s) and the distance in meters (D = 500):

20^2 = 0^2 + 2*a*500

400 = 1000a

a = 0.4 m/s^2

A potential energy function is given by U(x)=(3.00J)x+(1.00J/m2)x3. What is the force function F(x) (in newtons) that is associa
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2

Explanation:

The force is defined as the negative of the derivative of the potential energy:

F=-\frac{dU}{dx}

If we use the potential energy function given in this problem:

U(x)=3.00 x + 1.00 x^3

and we calculate the force, we get:

F(x)=-\frac{d}{dx}(3x+x^3)=-3-3x^2

So, the force is

F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2

Difference between freefall and weightlessness.​
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Differences between freefall and weightlessness are as follows:

<h3><u>Freefall</u></h3>
  • When a body falls only under the influence of gravity, it is called free fall.
  • Freefall is not possible in absence of gravity.
  • A body falling in a vacuum is an example of free fall.

<h3><u>Weightlessness</u></h3>
  • Weightlessness is a condition at which the apparent weight of body becomes zero.
  • Weightlessness is possible in absence of gravity.
  • A man in a free falling lift is an example of weightlessness.

Hope this helps....

Good luck on your assignment....

Does displacement = Δx?
Volgvan
Typically no. Displacement can be in multiple directions as a vector. of something is traveling only along x, then it would be true though this is usually not the case.

What are visible colors of light has the longest wavelength?
sasho [114]

Answer:

Red has the longest wavelength among all the visible colors of light.

Explanation:

Visible light is the only electromagnetic radiations which can be seen by human eye.  When white visible light passes through a prism it breaks down into 7 distinctive colors of rainbow.

These are red, orange, yellow, green blue, indigo and violet.

Red has the longest wavelength of around 700 nano meters with violet has the shortest wavelength of 380 nano meters.
