Answer:

350 ft/s²

Explanation:

First, convert mph to ft/s.

58 mi/hr × (5280 ft/mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 85.1 ft/s

Given:

v₀ = 85.1 ft/s

v = 0 ft/s

t = 0.24 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (0 ft/s − 85.1 ft/s) / 0.24 s

a = -354 ft/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the magnitude of the acceleration is 350 ft/s².

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

Kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the type of energy observed in moving objects. In this case the football player is running, ie moving, so he/she must have kinetic energy.

A bowling ball with a momentum of 18kg-m/s strikes a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the ball has a momentum of 13k
Veronika [31]

Answer:

14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

45.26^{\circ}

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial momentum of the pin = 13 kg m/s

P_i = Initial momentum of the ball = 18 kg m/s

P_2 = Momentum of the ball after hit

55^{\circ} = Angle ball makes with the horizontal after hitting the pin

\theta = Angle the pin makes with the horizotal after getting hit by the ball

Momentum in the x direction

P_i=P_1\cos55^{\circ}+P_2\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=P_i-P_1\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=18-13\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=10.54\ \text{kg m/s}

Momentum in the y direction

P_1\sin55=P_2\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=13\sin55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=10.64\ \text{kg m/s}

(P_2\cos\theta)^2+(P_2\sin\theta)^2=P_2^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\sqrt{10.54^2+10.64^2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

The pin's resultant velocity is 14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

P_2\sin\theta=10.64\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\dfrac{10.64}{14.98}\\\Rightarrow \theta=45.26^{\circ}

The pin's resultant direction is 45.26^{\circ} below the horizontal or to the right.

I need help with this
fredd [130]
We have here what is known as parallel combination of resistors.

Using the relation:

\frac{1}{ r_{eff} } = \frac{1}{ r_{1} } + \frac{1}{ r_{2} } + \frac{1}{ r_{3} }.. . + \frac{1}{ r_{n} } \\
And then we can turn take the inverse to get the effective resistance.

Where r is the magnitude of the resistance offered by each resistor.

In this case we have,
(every term has an mho in the end)
\frac{1}{10000} + \frac{1}{2000} + \frac{1}{1000} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{1} ) \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{31}{20}) \\ \\ = \frac{31}{20000}

To ger effective resistance take the inverse:
we get,
\frac{20000}{31} \: ohm \\ = 645 .16 \: ohm

The potential difference is of 9V.

So the current flowing using ohm's law,

V = IR

will be, 0.0139 Amperes.

The current in resistor Y is..?
Aliun [14]

(A)

Explanation:

We can see that the resistors are connected in parallel so all of them have the same voltage of 100 V. We also know that

P = VI

Since resistor Y dissipates 100 W of power, we can solve for the current as

I = \dfrac{P}{V} = \dfrac{100\:\text{W}}{100\:\text{V}} = 1.0\:\text{A}
