Answer:

100 m.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²

Displacement (D) =?

Next, we shall determine the time.

This can be obtained as follow:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

a = (v – u) / t

Where

a is the acceleration.

u is the initial velocity.

v is the final velocity.

t is the time.

With the above formula, we can obtain the time as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²

Time (t) =?

a = (v – u) / t

4 = (30 – 10)/t

4 = 20/t

Cross multiply

4 × t = 20

Divide both side by 4

t = 20/4

t = 5 secs.

Finally, we shall calculate the displacement of car as illustrated below:

Velocity is defined as rate of change of displacement with time. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

(v – u) = D/ t

Where:

u is the initial velocity.

v is the final velocity.

t is the time.

D is the displacement.

With the above formula, we can calculate the displacement of the car as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Time (t) = 5 s.

Displacement (D) =?

(v – u) = D/ t

(30 – 10) = D/5

20 = D/5

Cross multiply

D = 20 × 5

D = 100 m

Therefore, the displacement of the car is 100 m

When an electric stove element is hot enough, it gives off a dull red glow. When it cools to the point that it no longer glows,

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

It will have a longer wavelength

Explanation:

When an electric stove is hot and gives dull red glow. a part of the energy dissipated is emitted as visible light and part as infrared radiation in the form of heat. When the stove cools down, and no longer glows all the energy is now in the form of infrared radiation.In the electromagnetic spectrum infrared rays have a higher wavelength than visible light. Hence for the reason the radiation will have a higher wavelength since visible light is cut off.

Air escaping out from an air hose at a gas station always feels cool. Why?

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The air is contained at a high pressure in the tube. When it escapes from a small orifice, it suddenly expands. A large amount of its heat is absorbed in the process of expansion resulting in considerable fall in its temperature. This is why the escaping air feels cold.

The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum valu

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

maximumforce is F = mg

Explanation:

For this case we must use Newton's second law,

Σ F = m a

bold indicate vectors, so we will write it in its components x and y

X axis

Fₓ = maₓ

Axis y

Fy - W = m a $a_{y}$

Now let's examine our case, with indicate that the bird is level, the force of the wings can have a measured angle with respect to the x axis, where the vertical component is responsible for the lift, let's use trigonometry to find the components

Cos θ = Fₓ / F

Fₓ = F cos θ

sin θ = Fy / F

Fy = F sin θ

Let's replace and calculate

F sin θ -w = m a

As the bird indicates that leveling at the same height, so the vertical acceleration is zero (ay = 0)

F sin θ = w = mg

The maximum value of this equation occurs when the sin=1, in this case

F = mg
