A cheetah can accelerate from rest at the rate of 4m /s

1 answer:

6 0

Acceleration of cheetah (a) = 4m/s²
time = 10s
initial velocity(u) = 0
final velocity = v
distance travelled = s

v = u +at = 0 + 10×4 = 40m/s
s = (v²-u²)/2a = 40²/(2×4) = 1600/8 = 200m

What will the stopping distance be for a 2,000-kg car if -2,000 N of force are applied when the car is traveling 20 m/s?

astraxan [27]

Answer is B- 200 m

Given:

m (mass of the car) = 2000 Kg

F = -2000 N

u(initial velocity)= 20 m/s.

v(final velocity)= 0.

Now we know that

F= ma

Where F is the force exerted on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

Substituting the given values

-2000 = 2000 × a

a = -1 m/s∧2

Consider the equation

v=u +at

where v is the initial velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

0= 20 -t

t=20 secs

s = ut +1/2(at∧2)

where s is the displacement of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s= 20 ×20 +(-1×20×20)/2

s= 200 m

A 580-turn solenoid is 18 cm long. The current in it is 36 A. A straight wire cuts through the center of the solenoid, along a 2

Karolina [17]

Answer:

F = 0.078N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnitude of the force on the wire you first calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field generated by the solenoid, by using the following formula:

$B=\frac{\mu_oNi}{L}$ (1)

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

N: turns of the solenoid = 580

i: current in the solenoid = 36A

L: length of the solenoid = 18cm = 0.18m

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$B=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(580)(36A)}{0.18m}=0.145T$

Next, you calculate the force exerted on the wire, by using the following formula:

$F=iLBsin\theta$ (2)

i: current in the wire = 27A

L: length of the wire that perceives the magnetic field (the same as the radius of the solenoid) = 2.0 cm = 0.02m

θ: angle between wire and the direction of B

B: magneitc field in the solenoid = 0.145T

The direction of the wire are perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, hence, the angle is 90°.

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$F=(27A)(0.02m)(0.145T)sin90\°=0.078N$

The magnitude of the force on the wire is 0.078N

If the vertical component of velocity for a projectile is 7.3 meters/second, what is its hang time?

Kamila [148]

A projectile motion is characterized by motion moving in a direction of an arc. It is acted upon by two component vectors: the horizontal and vertical. These two vectors are independent of each other when it comes to time of flight. The horizontal direction travels at constant speed, while the vertical direction travels at constant acceleration due to gravity, The time for an object to reach the ground would be equal, whether dropped from the sampe point or thrown in a projectile motion. Of course, this is assuming ideality wherein there is no air resistance.

So, the hang up time, or the time the object stayed on air is calculated using this equation:

a = Δv/t
Δv is the change in velocity which is the initial velocity when it was dropped to when it reaches zero velocity when it hits the ground.
9.81 m/s² = |(0 - 7.3)|/t
t = 0.744 seconds

Sarah and Maisie are analysing data from their school sports day. Looking at the 1500 m results for Stephen, Maisie believes tha

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Sarah is right

Explanation:

This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.

A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.

In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero

consequently Sarah is right
