It heats up. the ice transforms directly from a solid to a vapor, releasing dust particles. the solar wind sweeps the material and it forms what to appears to be a tail.

The initial speed of a body is 7.1 m/s. What is its speed after 2.23 s if it accelerates uniformly at 2.64 m/s 2 ? Answer in uni
Nana76 [90]

13.0m/s

1.2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed of the body = 7.1m/s

time taken = 2.23s

Acceleration = 2.64m/s²

Unknown:

Final speed = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

   a = \frac{V - U}{T}

a  = acceleration

V = final speed

U = initial speed

T = time taken

  Input the variables and solve for V;

 

   2.64 = \frac{V - 7.1}{2.23}  

  V - 7.1 = 5.9                              expression 1

  V = 5.9 + 7.1 = 13.0m/s

B

Using the same parameters, the speed after a uniform deceleration of -2.64m/s², the negative sign implies deceleration;

 from expression 1;

           V - 7.1  = -5.9

           V = -5.9 + 7.1 = 1.2m/s

What is the current through a 11v bulb with a power of 99w
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

9.01amp

Explanation:

Power = V^2/R

Given that v = 11volts, P = 99watts

99 = 11^2/R

11×11 = 99R

121= 99R

R = 121/99

R= 1.22ohms

From ohms Law; V = IR

11volts = I × 1.22ohms

I = 11/1.23

I = 9.01 amp

You apply a horizontal force of 25N to push a shopping cart across the parking lot at a constant velocity. a) what is the net fo
AlekseyPX

(a) The net force on the shopping cart is zero.

(b) The the force of friction on the shopping cart is 25 N.

(c) When same force is applied to the shopping cart on a wet surface, it will move faster.

<h3>Net force on the shopping cart</h3>

The net force on the shopping cart is calculated as follows;

F(net) = F - Ff

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • Ff is the frictional force

ma = F - Ff

where;

  • a is acceleration of the cart
  • m is mass of the cart

at a constant velocity, a = 0

0 = F - Ff

F(net)  = 0

F = Ff = 25 N

Net force is zero, and frictional force is equal to applied force.

<h3>On wet surface</h3>

Coefficient of kinetic friction of solid surface is greater than that of wet surface.

Since frictional force limit motion, when the frictional force is smaller, the object tends to move faster.

Thus, the cart will move faster on a wet surface due to decrease in friction.

A very long straight current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field of 25 µT at a distance d from the wire. How far will the ma
daser333 [38]

The magnetic field strength of a very long current-carrying wire is proportional to the inverse of the distance from the wire. The farther you go from the wire, the weaker the magnetic field becomes.

B ∝ 1/d

B = magnetic field strength, d = distance from wire

Calculate the scaling factor for d required to change B from 25μT to 2.8μT:

2.8μT/25μT = 1/k

k = 8.9

You must go to a distance of 8.9d to observe a magnetic field strength of 2.8μT
