Answer:

Final speed of car = 12 m/s

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at, where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

a) A cart starts from rest and accelerates at 4.0 m/s² for 5.0 s

        v = ?

        u = 0 m/s

        a = 4.0 m/s²

         t = 5 s

         v = u + at = 0 + 4 x 5 = 20 m/s

b) Then maintains that velocity for 10 s

        v = ?

        u = 20 m/s

        a = 0 m/s²

         t = 10 s

         v = u + at = 20 + 0 x 10 = 20 m/s

c) Then decelerates at the rate of 2.0 m/s² for 4.0 s

        v = ?

        u = 20 m/s

        a = -2.0 m/s²

         t = 4 s

         v = u + at = 20 + -2 x 4 = 12 m/s

Final speed of car = 12 m/s

CER (claim, evidence, reasoning)
ira [324]

The reasoning that can be used to agree with the claim that has ben made is that the human powered generators are the best due to the fact that they would not have to require the long time and they would not have to consume resources.

<h3>What is a claim?</h3>

This is the term that is used to refer to a statement or an assertion that has been made which has not yet been proven.

The human powered generators are the best due to the fact that they would not require the resources that are known to be more consuming. That is they are renewable and like fossils they would not have any forms of adverse effects on the environment that they are used.

Choose the 200 kg refrigerator. set the applied force to 400 n (to the right). be sure friction is turned off. what is the net f
Firlakuza [10]

The net force acting on the refrigerator is 400 N to the right.

<h3></h3><h3>FURTHER EXPLANATION</h3>

The net force or resultant force is the sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object in x and y axes.

  • Forces along the y-axis The forces that usually act on an object vertically (in the y-axis) are: gravitational force which is a downward force and the normal force which is an upward (perpendicular) force exerted by a surface on an object resting above it that keeps the object from falling.
  • Forces along the x-axis These include the force or forces applied to cause a left or right motion of an object along the horizontal plane (called the Applied Force) and the force that opposes the motion or friction.

In this problem the forces acting on the x and y - axes can be determined:

Along the x-axis:

  • gravitational force = -1960 N
  • normal force = +1960 N
  • Net force = -1960 N + 1960 N = 0

The gravitational force is the weight of the object obtained by multiplying the mass of the object (in kg) with the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s^2. It is given a negative (-) sign to indicate that it is a downward force.

Since the object is not falling through the surface, it can be assumed that the gravitational force and normal force are balanced. Hence, the size of the normal force is the same as the gravitational force but with the opposite direction indicated by the + sign for an upward force.

The forces along the x-axis are balanced  (i.e. net force is zero) so the object neither moves upward or downward.

Along the y-axis

  • applied force = +400 N
  • friction = 0
  • Net force = +400 N + 0 = +400 N

The applied force is +400 N. It is given a + sign to indicate that its direction is to the right.

The friction, as mentioned in the problem, is set to zero or "turned off".

The net force along the y-axis is +400. The forces are unbalanced so the object will move to the right as force is applied to it.

What is destructive interference in magnetic waves
vovangra [49]
This is known as destructive interference. In fact, if the two waves (with the same amplitude) are shifted by exactly half a wavelength when they merge together, then the crest of one wave will match up perfectly with the trough of the other wave, and they will cancel each other out.

Destructive interference occurs when the maxima of two waves are 180 degrees out of phase: a positive displacement of one wave is cancelled exactly by a negative displacement of the other wave. The amplitude of the resulting wave is zero. ... The dark regions occur whenever the waves destructively interfere.
