The highest speed attained by a cyclist on level ground is 105 km/h. To attain this speed, the cyclist used a streamlined recumb

ent bike. Starting from rest, he gradually built up his speed by pedaling furiously over a distance of 3.2 km. If his acceleration was uniform over this distance, what was the acceleration and how long did the cyclist take to build up his final speed

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.133 m/s²

The time taken to build the final speed is 219.32 s

Explanation:

Given;

final speed of the cyclist, v = 105 km/h = 29.17 m/s²

distance traveled by the cyclist, d = 3.2 km = 3,200 m

initial speed, u = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the acceleration of the cyclist;

v² = u² + 2as

(29.17 )² = 0 + (2 x 3200)a

850.89 = 6400a

a = (850.89 ) / (6400)

a = 0.133 m/s²

The time taken to build up the final speed is given by;

v = u + at

29.17 = 0 + (0.133)t

t = 29.17 / 0.133

t = 219.32 s

A motorcycle is speeding along at a velocity of120kph.Then, it changes to a velocity of 150 kph for 2 minutes.What is the motorc
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a=v-u/t

a=acceleration

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

t=tme taken

we need to convert from kph to ms⁻¹

v= 150*1000/60*60= 41.67ms⁻¹

u= 120*1000/60*60= 33.33ms⁻¹

t= 2*60= 120s

a=41.67-33.33/120

a=8.34/120

a=0.0694ms⁻²

Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of highe
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

24 - gauge wire , diameter = .51 mm .

Resistivity of copper ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-m

R = ρ l / s

1.72x 10⁻⁸ / [3.14 x( .51/2)² x 10⁻⁶ ]

= 8.42 x 10⁻² ohm

= .084 ohm

B )  Current required through this wire

= 12 / .084 A

= 142.85 A

C )

Let required length be l

resistance = .084 l

2 = 12 / .084 l

l = 12 / (2 x .084)

= 71.42 m

A lamp is 10% efficient.How much electrical energy must be supplied to the lamp each second if it produces 20 J of light energy
k0ka [10]

If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.

20 J/s = 10% of Supply

20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)

Divide each side by 0.1:

Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)

<em>Supply = 200 J/s  </em>(200 watts)

========================

Here's something to think about:  What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ?  Answer:  Use it for a heater !

If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about.  Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !
