Answer:

The sign of acceleration is positive

Explanation:

For the car to stop, there must be a deceleration, which will gradually reduce its speed to zero, the deceleration is the aceleration in the opposite way (sign) to the movement, since in this way it will be contrary to the car's displacement and it will be able to stop it.

Answer:

# of Snickers bars 2

Explanation:

Power output= 0.30 HP

=0.3*746

= 0.30 HP (746 W=1.00 HP)

= 224 W

time required 2 h 49 m = 10140 seconds

Since power is work divided by time, then work is:

Work done by the jet = P*t

= 224 *(10140)

= 2.3 MJ (2.3 x 10^{6} J)

Converting MJ to Cal

2.3 MJ=549 Cal

# of Snickers bars = 549 Cal / 280 Cal

= 2.0 bars (rounded from 1.96)

Now the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -2.8 m/s but accelerating upward with an acceleration of a = 5.5 m/s2
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

160.75 N

Explanation:

The downward velocity has no effect on the force situation, it is only changes in velocity (plus, of course, gravity, which is always there) that require a force. At constant velocity, the bottom spring s_3 is supporting its mass m_3 to balance gravity.

As the elevator slows, though, it also ends up slowing down the spring arrangement, too. However, because the stretching takes time, it means that some damped harmonic motion will be set up in the spring chain.

When the motion has finally damped out, the net force the bottom spring s3 exerts on m3 has two components--that of gravity and of the deceleration of the elevator:

F_3net = m3 * (g + a) = 10.5×(9.81+5.5)= 10.5×15.31= 160.75 N

A car drives 26.8 m/s south. It
valina [46]

The time for the car to drive directly south is determined as 7.15 s.

<h3>Time for the car to drive directly west</h3>

The time for the car to drive directly south is determined by applying the concept of slope.

slope = Δy/Δx

a = Δv/Δt

Δt = Δv/a

Δt = (26.8)/(3.75)

Δt = 7.15 s

Thus, the time for the car to drive directly south is determined as 7.15 s.

At what distance along the central perpendicular axis of a uniformly charged plastic disk of radius 0.390 m is the magnitude of
aliina [53]
<span>Radius, the distance from the centre = 0.390
 Electric field is equal to half of the magnitude. E2 = E / 2
 Given
E1 = E2 E1 = k x Q / r^2
  E2 = (k x Q / r2^2) / 2
  Equating the both we get 2 x r^2 = r2^2
 r2 = square root of (2 x r1^2) = square root of (2) x r = 1.414 x 0.390
  r2 = 1.414 x 0.390 = 0.551 m</span>
