Answer:

a) The velocity of the toy car is 1.80 m/s when it reaches the edge of the table.

b) The range of the toy car is 0.853 m.

Explanation:

a) While the car is traveling in a straight line with constant acceleration the equation of the velocity and position will be:

v = v0 + a · t

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

v = velocity at time "t".

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time.

x = position at time "t".

x0 = initial positon.

First, let´s find the time it takes the car to travel the distance of 0.650 m on the table (placing the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the car starts, x0 = 0):

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

0.650 m = 0 m + 0 m/s · t + 1/2 · 2.50 m/s² · t²

2 · 0.650 m / 2.50 m/s² = t²

t = 0.721 s

Now, using the equation of the velocity, we can calculate the velocity when the car reaches the table edge:

v = v0 + a · t

v = 0 m/s + 2.50 m/s² · 0.721 s

v = 1.80 m/s

The velocity of the toy car is 1.80 m/s when it reaches the edge of the table.

b) Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem. The origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table.

The position of the car while it is falling can be calculated using this equation:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time "t".

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

When the car reaches the ground, the y-component of the position vector is -1.10 m (see "ry final" in the figure). Using that information, we can calculate the time it takes the car to reach the ground. With that time, we can calculate then the range:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-1.10 m = 0 + 0 - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²        (why is v0y = 0? hint: see the direction of the vector velocity when the car reaches the edge of the table. In red in the figure).

-1.10 m / -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 0.474 s

Now, using the equation of the x-component of the vector r, we can obtain the range:

x = x0 + v0x · t

x = 0 + 1.80 m/s · 0.474 s

x = 0.853 m

The range of the toy car is 0.853 m.

A 7950-kg railroad car travels alone on a level frictionless track with a constant speed of 15.0 m/s . A 2950-kg load, initially
Alchen [17]

The new speed of car is 10.9 m/s

<h3 />

According to the principle of momentum conservation, momentum is only modified by the action of forces as they are outlined by Newton's equations of motion; momentum is never created nor destroyed inside a problem domain.

Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 7950 kg

Mass of the load, m₂ = 2950 kg

It can be assumed as the speed of the car, u₁ = 15 m/s

Initially, it is at rest, u₂ = 0

Let v is the speed of the car. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v

v =\frac{m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2}

v = \frac{7950*15}{7950+2950}

v= 10.9 m/s

Therefore, the new speed of care is 10.9 m/s

Why does the mass spectrum of Br2 contain three signals whose heights are almost in the ratio of 1:2:1? What are the origins of
Eddi Din [679]
<span>The element bromine has two isotopes: Br-79 and Br-81, with a 50%-50% isotopic abundance. Statistically, 25% of bromine molecules will be Br79-Br79, 25% will be Br81-Br81 and 50% will be Br79-Br81. This is equivalent to a ratio of 1:1:2 or 1:2:1. The peaks in a mass spectrum just like chromatography reflect this relative abundance of different isotopic combinations.</span>

What is the acceleration of the box?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

a=4,32m/s^2

Explanation:

Fnet = F1 - F2

= 12-1.2

= 10.8N

m=2.5kg

Fnet =ma

10.8=2.5a then divide both sides by 2.5 to get acceleration
