An object, which is initially at rest, accelerates at a rate of 10 m/s2 . Its final position is 85 m from its initial position a

t the end of that acceleration. For how much time did it accelerate?

Answer:

4.12 seconds

Explanation:

From the kinetic equation

s=ut+0.5at^{2} where s is the displacement, u is initial velocity, t is time of travel and a is acceleration.

Since the object is initially at rest, the initial velocity is zero hence the equation can be re-written as

s=0.5at^{2} and making t the subject of the formula

t=\sqrt {\frac {2s}{a}}

Substituting s for 85 m and a for 10 m/s2

t=\sqrt {\frac {2*85 m}{10}}=4.123105626 s

Therefore, time is approximately 4.12 seconds

In the graph, which region shows nonuniform positive acceleration?
cricket20 [7]

Answer: A.AB

Explanation:

This Velocity vs Time graph shows the acceleration of a body or object, since acceleration is the variation of velocity in time.

As we can see in the attached image, the graph can be divided in four segments:

OA: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a positive slope, hence we are dealing with a positive uniform acceleration.

AB: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be positive. This means the <u>acceleration is nonuniform and positive.</u>

BC: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be negative. This means the acceleration is nonuniform and negative.

CD: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a negative slope, hence we are dealing with a negative uniform acceleration.

From all these segments, the only one that fulfils the nonuniform positive acceleration condition is option A:

Segment AB

Describe what happens to the particles of a liquid, in terms of movement and kinetic energy, as it is cooled to its freezing poi
nataly862011 [7]
As a system is cooled to its freezing point, the kinetic energy of the particles in the system will lower so the movement are much slower. Cooling means taking out heat from the system. This process is a physical change because it is only the phase of the system is changed and it is still the substance after the process.

A 0.25 kg arrow with a velocity of 12 m/s to the west strikes and pierces the center of a 6.8 kg target. What is the final veloc
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:20/47 meter per second

Explanation:

Mass of arrow(ma)=0.25kg

Velocity of arrow(va)=12m/s

Mass of target(mt)=6.8kg

Velocity of target(vt)=0 since target is at rest

Conservation of linear momentum says that :

maxva+mtxvt=(ma+mt)V

V=(maxva+mtxvt)/(ma+mt)

V=(0.25x12+6.8x0)/(0.25+6.8)

V=3/(7.05)

V=20/47 meter per second

Two technicians are discussing an engine with an interference design. Technician A says if a valve remains open when its cylinde
maksim [4K]

Answer: Both Technician A and B are right.

Explanation:

Both Technicians are correct. when a valve remains open as it approaches the TDC(top dead center), they piston may strike the valve which would result to damage of the engine. Same applies when it is open as it approaches the top dead center as a valve train damage may occur. As the driven train is responsible for providing power to the wheels from the engine block.

Which one is correct and why?​
Gelneren [198K]

'A' and 'C' are exactly the same circuit, except the voltmeter's terminals are flipped.

'A' is the correct way to hook everything up.

If you start at the positive terminal of the battery, and follow the flow of current through the circuit and around to the negative terminal, you're following the path where the voltage gets lower and lower and lower all the way.

So each time you come to any device in the circuit ... whether it's a resistor or a meter ... you would be hitting the positive side of it first, and then the voltage where you come out on the other side of it would be lower.  

So the left side of the resistor is more positive, and the right side is more negative.  The voltmeter is connected correctly in 'A', but it's backwards in 'C'.  If you connect the voltmeter like in 'C' and turn things on, the voltmeter will try  to go <em>down</em> from zero.  You can't read the number on it, and It's possible that the voltmeter might be damaged.
