Answer:

The acceleration of the car is $a=1.25\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 0

Final speed of the car, v = 5 m/s

Time, t = 4 s

<em>We need to find the average acceleration over this period of time. It is given by the rate of change of velocity. It is given by :</em>

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{(5-0)\ m/s}{4\ s}$

$a=1.25\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $a=1.25\ m/s^2$ . Hence, the correct option is (D).

The average acceleration is

$\bar a=\dfrac{5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{4\,\mathrm s}=1.25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

Two 2.0kg bodies A and B collide The velocities before the collision are U1=15i+30j and U2=-10j+5.0j After the collision V1=-5.0

Use the law of conservation of momentum. Since the momentum is a linear measure, we can treat each of the dimension separately:

i-direction:

$m_1u_{1i}+m_2u_{2i}=m_1v_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}\\v_{2i} = \frac{m_1u_{1i}+m_2u_{2i}-m_1v_{1i}}{m_2}=\frac{(2\cdot 15-2\cdot10+2\cdot5)kg\frac{m}{s}}{2kg}=10\frac{m}{s}$

j-direction:

$m_1u_{1j}+m_2u_{2j}=m_1v_{1j}+m_2v_{2j}\\v_{2j} = \frac{m_1u_{1j}+m_2u_{2j}-m_1v_{1j}}{m_2}=\frac{(2\cdot 30+2\cdot5-2\cdot20)kg\frac{m}{s}}{2kg}=15\frac{m}{s}$

Answer: Final velocity is: (10i + 15j) m/s

Change in the kinetic energy:

$\Delta E_k = E_{ku}-E_{kv} = \frac{1}{2}m(u_1^2+u_2^2-v_1^2-v_2^2)=\\=\frac{1}{2}2kg(1125+125-425-325)\frac{m^2}{s^2}=500J$

Answer: The system lost 500J worth of kinetic energy in the collision

A pendulum is made by letting a 4 kg mass swing at the end of a string that has a length of 1.5 meter. The maximum angle that th

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Approximately $7.8\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

The change in the gravitational potential energy of the pendulum is directly related to the change in its height.

Refer to the sketch attached. The pendulum is initially at $\rm P_2$ . Its highest point is at $P_1$ . The length of segment $\rm BP_2$ gives the change in its height.

The lengths of $\rm AP_1$ and $\rm AP_2$ are simply the length of the string, $1.5\; \rm m$ . To find the length of $\rm BP_2$ , start by calculating the length of $\rm AB$ .

$\rm AB$ forms a leg in the right triangle $\rm \triangle AP_1B$ . Besides, it is adjacent to the $30^\circ$ angle $\rm P_1\hat{A}B$ . Its length would be:

$\rm AB = 1.5 \times \cos(30^\circ) \approx 1.30\; \rm m$ .

The length of $\rm BP_2$ would thus be

$\rm BP_2 = AP_2 - AB = 1.5 - 1.30 \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ .

The change in gravitational potential energy can be found with the equation

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = m \cdot g \cdot \Delta h$ . In this equation,

$m$ is the mass of the object,
$g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ near the surface of the earth, and
$\Delta h$ is the change in the object's height.

In this case, $m = 4\; \rm kg$ and $\Delta h \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ . Therefore:

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = 4 \times 9.81 \times 0.20 \approx 7.8\; \rm J$ .
