A body has an initial velocity of 12 m s^-1 and is brought to rest over a distance of 45 m. What is the acceleration of the body

Answer:

-1.46 m/s^2

Explanation:

Write down what is given first:

v0 = 12 m/s

vf = 0 m/s

d = 45 m

We are trying to find acceleration, so we will use the equation vf^2 = v0^2 + 2ad

Plug in the values we have:

0^2 = 12^2 + (2 x 45 x a)

a = - 1.46 m/s^2

Note that this acceleration is negative because the body is slowing down, so the acceleration with be negative, because the change in velocity is negative.

A 600 kg car is at test and then accelerated to 5m/s , what is its original kinetic energy
ycow [4]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as:

KE = 1/2 m v²

where m is mass and v is velocity.

The car starts at rest, so it has zero velocity.  Therefore, its initial kinetic energy is 0 J.

Explain how mirrors can produce images that are larger or smaller than life size, as well as upright or inverted
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1) When d_{o} < d_{i} (hence  d_{o} < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

2) When d_{o} > d_{i} (and d_{o} < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

3) When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror

Explanation:

The position of an object in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature, R, determines the size and orientation of the image of the object as illustrated in the mirror equation

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{d_{o}} + \dfrac{1}{d_{i}}

Magnification, \, m = \dfrac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = -\dfrac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}

Where:

f = Focal length of the mirror = R/2

d_{i} = Image distance from the mirror

d_{o} = Object distance from the mirror

h_{i} = Image height

h_{o} = Object height

d_{o} is positive for an object placed in front of the mirror and negative for an object placed behind the mirror

d_{i} is positive for an image formed in front of the mirror and negative for an image formed behind the mirror

m is positive when the orientation of the image and the object is the same

m is negative when the orientation of the image and the object is inverted

f and R are positive in the situation where the center of curvature is located in front of the mirror (concave mirrors) and f and R are negative in the situation where the center of curvature is located behind the mirror (convex mirrors)

∴ When d_{o} < d_{i} (hence  d_{o} < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

When d_{o} > d_{i} (and d_{o} < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror.

Which formula can be used to solve problems related to the first law of thermodynamics?
docker41 [41]

Answer: The formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is \Delta U=Q+W

Explanation:

First law of thermodynamics states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be destroyed, nor be created but it can only be transformed into one form to another.

Its implication is any change in the internal energy will be either due to heat energy or work energy.

Mathematically,

\Delta U=Q+W

where, Q = heat energy

W = work energy

\Delta U = Change in internal energy

Sign convention for these energies:

For Q: Heat absorbed will be positive and heat released will be negative.

For W: Work done by the system is negative and work done on the system is positive.

For \Delta U: When negative, internal energy is decreasing and when positive, internal energy is increasing.

Hence, the formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is \Delta U=Q+W
