Answer:

Explanation:

The components of a vector can not have a magnitude greater than the vector itself.The magnitude of a component is always lesser than vector because the magnitude is a product of the vector and cos Ф where the value of cos Ф , x, is -1<x<1. Additionally, applying the Pythagorean relationship, you expect the sum of squares of the components to equal the square of the magnitude of the vectors.However, there is a situation where a component of a vector has a magnitude which equals the magnitude of the vector.

All the energy sources are correctly matched with their category.

Explanation:

Renewable energy sources:

These are energy sources which can be replenished as they don't in involves the irreversible phase change.

These resources can never be ended as they can be used again and again.

Wind, geothermal, biomass, bio gas are example of renewable energy sources.

Non renewable energy sources:

These are the energy source which can never be replenished after one time use. They undergo the chemical irreversible change.

These sources are lacking with the passage of time because they can never be reused.

Oil, gas, coal and natural gas are examples.

A steel marble with 0.05 kg of mass starts from rest and rolls down a ramp. It travels 0.25 m in 1.2 seconds. Find the force act

emmasim [6.3K]

After finding acceleration, it is found that 0.02 N of force is acting on the marble

<h3>What is Force ?</h3>

Force can simply be defined as a pull or push. It is the product of mass and acceleration of the object. It is a vector quantity and it is measured in Newton.

Given that a steel marble with 0.05 kg of mass starts from rest and rolls down a ramp. It travels 0.25 m in 1.2 seconds.

The parameters to consider are;

m = 0.05 Kg

u = 0

s = 0.25 m

t = 1.2 s

a = ?

F = ?

Before we find the force acting on the marble, let us first find the acceleration by using the formula: s = ut + 1/2at²

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

0.25 = 0 + 1/2 × a × 1.2²

0.25 = 1/2 × a × 1.44

0.25 = 0.72a

a = 0.25/0.72

a = 0.35 m/s²

The force acting on the marble will be ;

F = ma

F = 0.05 × 0.35

F = 0.017

F = 0.02 N

Therefore, the force acting on the marble is 0.02 N

(a) A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s2 . How long does it take to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h,

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

(a) Time t = 16.46 sec

(b) Time t =13.466 sec

Explanation:

(a) As the train starts from rest its initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration $a=1.35m/sec^2$

Final speed v = 80 km/hr

$80km/hr=\frac{80\times 1000}{3600sec}=22.22m/sec$

From first equation of motion v =u+at

So $t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{22.22-0}{1.35}=16.46 sec$

(b) Now initial speed u = 22.22 m/sec

As finally train comes to rest so final speed v=0 m/sec

Deceleration $a=1.65m/sec^2$

So $t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-22.22}{-1.65}=13.466 sec$

Final velocity v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 8.30 sec

So acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-22.22}{8.3}=-2.6771m/sec^2$

As acceleration is negative so it is a deceleration
