PLEASE HURRYYYY!!! Explain how you read measurements in a graduated cylinder?

fredd [130]

Answer:

Reading a Graduated Cylinder

Place the graduated cylinder on a flat surface and view the height of the liquid in the cylinder with your eyes directly level with the liquid. The liquid will tend to curve downward. This curve is called the meniscus. Always read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus.....

A car accelerates from rest at 3.6 m/s 2 . How much time does it need to attain a speed of 5 m/s?

Olenka [21]

car starts from rest

$v_i = 0$

final speed attained by the car is

$v_f = 5 m/s$

acceleration of the car will be

$a = 3.6 m/s^2$

now the time to reach this final speed will be

$t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}$

$t = \frac{5 - 0}{3.6}$

$t = 1.39 s$

so it required 1.39 s to reach this final speed

How long must a tow truck apply a force of 600 N to increase the speed of a 1,500 kg car at rest to 2 m/s?

slega [8]

The time the truck must apply the given force to increase its speed to given value is 5 s.

The given parameters;

applied force, F = 600 N
mass of the truck, m = 1,500 kg
speed of the truck, v = 2 m/s

The force applied to the truck is determined by Newton's second law of motion; which states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

F = ma

$F = \frac{mv}{t} \\\\t = \frac{mv}{F} \\\\t = \frac{1500 \times 2}{600} \\\\t = 5 \ s$

Thus, the time the truck must apply the given force to increase its speed to given value is 5 s.
