If a car travels 23.8 meters in 4.2 seconds, what is its speed?

Displacement = Initial Velocity * time + 0.5 * acceleration * time^2

Initial velocity * time = 0 since we assume that the car is launching from start without motion.

So, displacement = 0.5 * acceleration * time ^ 2

23.8 = 0.5 * acceleration * 4.2^2

23.8 = 0.5 * 17.64 * acceleration

23.8 = 8.82 * acceleration

23.8/8.82 = acceleration = 2.69 m/s^2

Final Velocity = initial velocity + acceleration * time

Final velocity = 0 + 2.69 * 4.2 = 11.3 m/s

A beam of unpolarized light in air strikes a flat piece of glass at an angle of incidence of 54.2 degrees. If the reflected beam
Stels [109]

Answer:

correct option is B. 1.39

Explanation:

given data

angle of incidence (θ) = 54.2 degrees

to find out

index of refraction of the glass

solution

we know that here reflected beam is completely polarized

so angle of incidence = angle of polarized    ....................1

for reflective index we apply here Brewster law that is

μ = tan(θ)     ...............2

put here θ value we get

μ = tan(54.2)

μ = 1.386

so correct option is B. 1.39

A 0.40-kg cart with charge 4.0 x 10-5 C starts at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface 0.50 m from a fixed object with char
maw [93]

Answer:

26.82m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass = m= 0.4kg

Initial Velocity = u = 0

Charge = 4.0E-5C

Distance= d = 0.5m

Object Charge = 2E-4C

First, we'll calculate the initial energy (E)

E = Potential Energy

PE = kQq / d

Where k = coulomb constant = 8.99E9Nm²/C²

Energy is then calculated by;

PE = 8.99E9 * 4E-5 * 2E-4 / 0.5

PE = 143.84J

Energy = Potential Energy = Kinetic Energy

K.E = ½mv² = 143.84J

½mv² = ½ * 0.40 * v² = 143.85

0.2v² = 143.85

v² = 143.85/0.2

v² = 719.25

v = √719.25

v = 26.81883666380777

v = 26.82m/s

Hence, the object is 26.82m/s fast when the cart moving is very far (infinity) from the fixed charge
