Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is 1.2 × 10⁴ mi/h²

Explanation:

Hi there!

The acceleration is defined as the change in velocity in a time:

a = Δv / Δt

Where:

a = acceleration.

Δv = change in velocity  = final velocity - initial velocity.

Δt = elapsed time.

In this case:

Initial velocity = 60 mi/h

final velocity = 50 mi/h

elapsed time = 3.0 s

Let´s convert the time unit into h:

3.0 s · 1 h /3600 s = 1/1200 h

Now, let´s calculate the acceleration:

a = Δv / Δt

a = (50 mi/h - 60 mi/h) / 1/1200 h

a = -1.2 × 10⁴ mi/h²

The magnitude of the acceleration is 1.2 × 10⁴ mi/h²

an object is moving with initial velocity of 5 m/s. After 10 seconds final velocity is 10 m/s. Calculate its acceleration.​
Brut [27]

Answer:

0.5m/s2

Explanation:

acceleration= change in velocity/time taken

= v - u/ t

= 10-5/10

=5/10

= 0.5m/s2

A ball thrown by Ginger is moving upward through the air. Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. Diagram B shows a box wit
vichka [17]

As the ball is moving in air as well as we have to neglect the friction force on it

So we can say that ball is having only one force on it that is gravitational force

So the force on the ball must have to be represented by gravitational force and that must be vertically downwards

So the correct FBD will contain only one force and that force must be vertically downwards

So here correct answer must be

<em>Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. </em>

A cat, walking along the window ledge of a new york apartment, knocks off a flower pot, which falls to the street 280 feet below
Harlamova29_29 [7]
H = 280 ft, the height of the flower pot.
g = 32 ft/s²

Neglect air resistance.
Note that 1 ft/s = 15/22 mi/h

The initial vertical velocity is zero.
Let v =  the velocity with which the flower pot hits the ground.
Then
v² = 2gh
    = 2*(32 ft/s²)*(280 ft)
    = 17920 (ft/s)²
v = 133.866 ft/s

Also,
v = (133.866 ft/s)*(15/22 (mi/h)/(ft/s)) = 91.272 mi/h

Answer:  133.9 ft/s or 91.3 mi/h

Falling raindrops frequently develop electric charges. Does this create noticeable forces between the droplets? Suppose two 1.8
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N

b) a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of raindrops, m=1.8\times 10^{-6}\ kg
  • charge on the raindrops, q=+21\times 10^{-12}\ C
  • horizontal distance between the raindrops, r=0.0044\ m

A)

<u>From the Coulomb's Law the force between the charges is given as:</u>

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} .\frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}

we have:

\epsilon_0=8.854\times 10^{-12}\ C^2.N^{-1}.m^{-2}

<em>Now force:</em>

F=\frac{1}{4\pi\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}} .\frac{21\times 10^{-12}\times 21\times 10^{-12}}{0.0044^2}

F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N

B)

<u>Now the acceleration on the raindrops due to the electrostatic force:</u>

a=\frac{F}{m}

a=\frac{2.048\times 10^{-7}}{1.8\times 10^{-6}}

a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}
