<u>Answer:</u>

The stopping car has negative acceleration.

<u>Explanation:</u>

 We know acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. That is

            Acceleration(a) = ( Final velocity - Initial velocity )/ Time taken.

            Here Final velocity = 0 km/h( car stops) and initial velocity = 30 km/h

             So acceleration = (0-30)/time = -30/ time

             Time is always positive , so -30/time is negative, so the stopping car has negative acceleration.

Rocks are elastic too! Explain how elasticity and Harry Reid's elastic rebound theory lead to a better understanding of earthqua
ANEK [815]
After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes

Estimate the wavelength of electrons that have been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 60 kV.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 2.068*10^{-14}m

Explanation: According to work energy-theorem , the workdone in accelerating the electron equals the energy it would give off in terms of light.

workdone= qV

energy = hc/λ

q=magnitude of an electronic charge= 1.602*10^{-16}

h= planck constant = 6.626*10^{-34}

c= speed of light =2.998* 10^{8}

v= potential difference= 6*10^{4}

λ= wavelength=unknown

by making λ subject of formulae we have that

λ= \frac{hc}{qv}

λ = 6.626*10^{-34} * 2.998* 10^{8} / 1.602*10^{-16} * 6*10^{4}

λ = \frac{19.878*10^{-26} }{9.612*10^{-12} }

by doing the necessary calculations, we have that

λ = 2.068*10^{-14}m

An object is originally moving at a constant velocity of 8 m/s in the -x direction. It moves at this constant velocity for 3 sec
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

244.64m

Explanation:

First, we find the distance traveled with constant velocity. It's simply multiplying velocity time the time that elapsed:

x = V*t = -8\frac{m}{s} *3s = -24m

After this, the ball will start traveling with a constant acceleration motion. Due to the fact that the acceleration is the opposite direction to the initial velocity, this motion will have 2 phases:

1. The velocity will start to decrease untill it reaches 0m/s.

2. Then, the velocity will start to increase at the rate of the acceleration.

The distance that the ball travels in the first phase can be found with the following expression:

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2a*d

Where v is the final velocity (0m/s), v_0 is the initial velocity (-8m/s) and a is the acceleration (+9m/s^2). We solve for d:

d = \frac{v^2 - v_0^2}{2a} = \frac{(0m/s)^2 - (-8m/s)^2}{2*7m/s^2}= -4.57m

Now, before finding the distance traveled in the second phase, we need to find the time that took for the velocity to reach 0:

t_1 = \frac{v}{a} = \frac{8m/s}{7m/s^2} = 1.143 s

Then, the time of the second phase will be:

t_2 = 9s - t_1 = 9s - 1.143s = 7.857s

Using this, we using the equations for constant acceleration motion in order to calculate the distance traveled in the second phase:

x = \frac{1}{2}a*t^2 + v_0*t + x_0

V_0, the initial velocity of the second phase, will be 0 as previously mentioned. X_0, the initial position, will be 0, for simplicity:

x = \frac{1}{2}*7\frac{m}{s^2}*t^2 + 0m/s*t + 0m = 216.07m

So, the total distance covered by this object in meters will be the sum of all the distances we found:

x_total = 24m + 4.57m + 216.07m = 244.64m
