A car stops in 130 m. If it has an acceleration of -5 m/s2 what was the cars starting velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
Tatiana [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<u>We are given:</u>

displacement (s) = 130 m

acceleration (a) = -5 m/s²

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s      [the cars 'stops' in 130 m]

initial velocity (u) = u m/s

<u>Solving for initial velocity:</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(0)² - (u)² = 2(-5)(130)

-u² = -1300

u² = 1300

u = √1300

u = 36 m/s

A motorcycle accelerated from 10 metre per second to 30 metre per second in 6 seconds. How far did it travel in this time ?
Ber [7]
U=10 m/s
v=30 m/s
t=6 sec

therefore, a=(v-u)/t
                   =(30-10)/6
                   =(10/3) ms^-2

now, displacement=ut+0.5*a*t^2
                              =60+ 0.5*(10/3)*36
                              =120 m
And you can solve it in another way:

v^2=u^2+2as
or, s=(v^2-u^2)/2a
       =(900-100)/6.6666666.......
       =120 m

An object that has kinetic energy must what ?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

An object that has kinetic energy must be <em>moving</em>.

The formula for an object's kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) · (the object's mass) · <u><em>(the object's speed)²</em></u>

As you can see from the formula, if the object has no speed, then its kinetic energy is zero.  That's why kinetic energy is usually called the "energy of motion", and if an object HAS kinetic energy, then that tells you right away that it must be moving.

Why would an orange roll of your cafeteria tray if you stopped suddenly
Vikentia [17]
Because the frictional force between the orange skin peel is great enough when you are walking for it to be carried on the tray, along with the gravitational force downwards onto the tray. When you stop, the force that you exerted moving forward it the same as on the tray and on the orange. So when you stop, the force is still on the orange as the same velocity as your we’re traveling, while the tray and you stop.

An object starts at 4m/s and accelerates to 6m/s in 10 seconds. Find its displacement.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The 2 equations we need here are, first:

a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t} and then once we solve for the acceleration here:

v^2=v_0^2+2aΔx

Solving for acceleration:

a=\frac{6-4}{10}=\frac{1}{5}\frac{m}{s^2} and now we will use that in the other equation:

6^2=4^2+2(\frac{1}{5})Δx and

36 = 16 + \frac{2}{5}Δx and

20 = \frac{2}{5}Δx and

\frac{5}{2}(20)= Δx so

Δx = 50 m

The speed of a box traveling on a horizontal friction surface changes from vi = 13 m/s to vf = 11.5 m/s in a distance of d = 8.5
ValentinkaMS [17]

The average power supplied to the box by friction while it slows from 13 m/s to 11.5 m/s is 3.24 W.

<h3>Acceleration of the box</h3>

The acceleration of the box is calculated as follows;

vf² = vi² + 2as

a = (vf² - vi²)/2s

a = (11.5² - 13²) / (2 x 8.5)

a = -2.16 m/s²

<h3>Time of motion of the box</h3>

The time taken for the box to travel is calculated as follows;

a = (vf - vi)/t

t = (vf - vi) / a

t = (11.5 - 13) / (-2.16)

t = 0.69 s

<h3>Average power supplied by the friction</h3>

P = Fv

P = (ma)(vf - vi)

P = (1 x -2.16) x (11.5 - 13)

P = 3.24 W

Thus, the average power supplied to the box by friction while it slows from 13 m/s to 11.5 m/s is 3.24 W.
