The answer is D, because all of the others show an object at work, when an object that has potential energy has to be at rest, like when you are at the top of a hill, or the highest point a rocket can go before it comes back done to the ground.

A cheetah can accelerate from rest at the rate of 4m /s
lesya [120]
Acceleration of cheetah (a) = 4m/s²
time = 10s
initial velocity(u) = 0
final velocity = v
distance travelled = s

v = u +at = 0 + 10×4 = 40m/s
s = (v²-u²)/2a = 40²/(2×4) = 1600/8 = 200m

A car is traveling at 75 m/s. 50 seconds later it is traveling at 25 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?
scoray [572]

Answer:

a = -1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 75 m/s

Vf = 25 m/s

t = 50 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

25 = 75 + 50a

---> a = -1 m/s^2

A circular coil of wire having a diameter of 20.0 cm and 3000 turns is placed in the earth's magnetic field with the normal of t
Bess [88]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Diameter of the coil, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Radius of the coil, r = 0.1 m

Number of turns, N = 3000

Induced EMF, \epsilon=1.5\ V

Magnitude of Earth's field, B=10^{-4}\ T

We need to find the angular frequency with which it is rotated. The induced emf due to rotation is given by :

\epsilon=NBA\omega

\omega=\dfrac{\epsilon}{NBA}

\omega=\dfrac{1.5}{3000\times 10^{-4}\times \pi (0.1)^2}

\omega=159.15\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency with which the loop is rotated is 159.15 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A train pulls away from a station with a constant acceleration of 0.42 m/s2. A passenger arrives at a point next to the track 6.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

2.69 m/s

Explanation:

Hi!

First lets find the position of the train as a function of time as seen by the passenger when he arrives to the train station. For this state, the train is at a position x0 given by:

x0 = (1/2)(0.42m/s^2)*(6.4s)^2 = 8.6016 m

So, the position as a function of time is:

xT(t)=(1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + x0 = (1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + 8.6016 m

Now, if the passanger is moving at a constant velocity of V, his position as a fucntion of time is given by:

xP(t)=V*t

In order for the passenger to catch the train

xP(t)=xT(t)

(1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + 8.6016 m = V*t

To solve this equation for t we make use of the quadratic formula, which has real solutions whenever its determinat is grater than zero:

0≤ b^2-4*a*c = V^2 - 4 * ((1/2)(0.42m/s^2)) * 8.6016 m =V^2 - 7.22534(m/s)^2

This equation give us the minimum velocity the passenger must have in order to catch the train:

V^2 - 7.22534(m/s)^2 = 0

V^2 = 7.22534(m/s)^2

V = 2.6879 m/s
