Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) minus (start speed)

Change in speed = (25 m/s) - (10 m/s) = 15 m/s .

Acceleration = (15 m/s) / (6 sec) =  2.5 m/s² .

Average speed during the acceleration = (1/2) (10 m/s + 25 m/s)

Average speed during the acceleration = (1/2) (35 m/s)

Average speed during the acceleration = 17.5 m/s

Traveling at the average speed of 17.5 m/s for 6 sec,  the car covers (17.5m/s x 6sec) = 105 meters.

The other way to solve it, using the formula:  D = v₀t + (1/2) a T²

Distance = (initial speed)(time) + (1/2)(acceleration)(time²)

Distance = (10 m/s)(6 sec) + (1/2)(2.5 m/s²)(6.0sec)²

Distance = (60 m) + (1/2)(2.5 m/s²)(36 sec²)

Distance = (60 m) + (45 m) = 105 meters

How do you calculate acceleration
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: acceleration is equal to the change in velocity per unit time in seconds.

a= ∆v / t = vf - vi / t

Explanation: change in velocity or ∆v can be expressed as (vf - vi)

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?
Zarrin [17]
<span>The kinetic energy is the work done by the object due to its motion. It is represented by the formula of the half the velocity squared multiply by the mass of the object. In this problem, you have two  vehicles, the other one is large and the other one is small. Let us assume that they travel with the same velocity. Note that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass of the object. So when you increase the mass of the other, it also increases the kinetic energy of that object. The same holds true for the two vehicles. The larger the vehicle, its kinetic energy is also large and therefore its stopping distance will be longer than that of the smaller vehicle.</span>

A wire that is 0.65 m long and carrying a current of 8.2 A is at right angles to a uniform magnetic field. The force on the wire
Luda [366]

Answer:

0.075 T

Explanation:

When a current-carrying wire is immersed in a region with magnetic field, the wire experiences a force, given by

F=ILB sin \theta

where

I is the current in the wire

L is the length of the wire

B is the strength of the magnetic field

\theta is the angle between the direction of I and B

In this problem we have:

L = 0.65 m is the length of the wire

I = 8.2 A is the current in the wire

F = 0.40 N is the force experienced by the wire

\theta=90^{\circ} since the current is at right angle with the magnetic field

Solving the formula for B, we find the strength of the magnetic field:

B=\frac{F}{IL sin \theta}=\frac{0.40}{(8.2)(0.65)(sin 90^{\circ})}=0.075 T
