Use v^2 - u^2 = 2as

Here, u = 20 m/s , a = -0.5 m/s^2 and v = 0

- 400 = -s ======> s = 400 m

Hope it helps, please mark me as brainliest and give me a good rating. Thank You!

If only an external force can change the velocity of a body, how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest? 1. It
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Explanation:

If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.

You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.

The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.

Which phrase best describes sir isaac newton's contributions to modern science and therefore to the industrial revolution?
astraxan [27]
Can you please give the phrases? 

But, I'll help what I can.

First, he was the first to discover gravity. He was not bonked by the head by an apple, rather he watched an apple fall from a tree before he decided to explore gravity further. 

He was also the first scientist to be knighted, which is a great honor, as you can expect. 

Newton also developed The Three Laws of Motion. They are extremely important to physics and are considered some of the foundation for physics today. 

He also discovered calculus, which is complex math that is very helpful to scientists today. 

He also discovered the color spectrum using a glass prism, a dark room and window shade with a hole in it. He was able to project the color spectrum onto a piece of paper.

Those are the few I can think of now, but hope it helps!

In classical physics, consider a 2 kg block hanging on a spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m. Ignore air resistance. The blo
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

v = 0

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by taking into account:

- The equation for the calculation of the period in a spring-masss system

T = \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }     ( 1 )

- The equation for the velocity of a simple harmonic motion

x = \frac{2\pi }{T}Asin(\frac{2\pi }{T}t)   ( 2 )

where m is the mass of the block, k is the spring constant, A is the amplitude (in this case A = 14 cm) and v is the velocity of the block

Hence

T = \sqrt{\frac{2 kg}{50 N/m}} = 0.2 s

and by reeplacing it in ( 2 ):

v = \frac{2\pi }{0.2s}(14cm)sin(\frac{2\pi }{0.2s}(0.9s)) = 140\pi  sin(9\pi ) = 0

In this case for 0.9 s the velocity is zero, that is, the block is in a position with the max displacement from the equilibrium.

The international Space Station (ISS) orbits the Earth once every 90 mins at an altitude of 409 km. How high would it have to be
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

It would have to be 36,719 Km high in order to be to be in geosynchronous orbit.

To find the answer, we need to know about the third law of Kepler.

<h3>What's the Kepler's third law?</h3>
  • It states that the square of the time period of orbiting planet or satellite is directly proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit.
  • Mathematically, T²∝a³
<h3>What's the radius of geosynchronous orbit, if the time period and altitude of ISS are 90 minutes and 409 km respectively?</h3>
  • The time period of geosynchronous orbit is 24 hours or 1440 minutes.
  • As the Earth's radius is 6371 Km, so radius of the ISS orbit= 6371km + 409 km = 6780km.
  • If T1 and T2 are time period of geosynchronous orbit and ISS orbit respectively, a1 and a2 are radius of geosynchronous orbit and ISS orbit, as per third law of Kepler, (T1/T2)² = (a1/a2)³
  • a1= (T1/T2)⅔×a2

           = (1440/90)⅔×6780

           = 43,090 km

  • Altitude of geosynchronous orbit = 43,090 - 6371= 36,719 km

Thus, we can conclude that the altitude of geosynchronous orbit is 36,719km.
