A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration ?

Physics
1 answer:
Nataliya [291]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

-3m {s}^{-2}

Explanation:

The initial velocity, u, of the car=15m/s

The final velocity, v, of the car =0m/s

Time, t, taken for the car to come to a stop=5s

Acceleration is calculated by,

a= \frac{v - u}{t}

By substitution,

a= \frac{0- 15}{5}

a= \frac{- 15}{5}

a = -3 {ms}^{ - 2}

The negative sign implies that the car has decelerated.

To test a slide at an amusement park, a block of wood with mass 3.00 kgkg is released at the top of the slide and slides down to
dem82 [27]

Answer:

511.1 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wood block=m=3 kg

Vertical distance,h=23 m

Horizontal distance =x=30 m

Distance traveled in downward direction y=40 m

Initial velocity,u=0

y=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

40=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2=4.9t^2

t^2=\frac{40}{4.9}

t=\sqrt{\frac{40}{4.9}}=2.86 s

x=v_x\times t

30=v_x(2.86)

v=v_x=\frac{30}{2.86}=10.49 m/s

By work energy theorem

Change in kinetic energy=Work done= mgh-W

\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2=3\times 9.8\times 23-W

\frac{1}{2}(3)(10.49)^2-0=676.2-W

W=676.2-\frac{1}{2}(3)(10.49)^2=511.1 J

Hence, the work done due to friction on the block as it slides down the ramp=511.1 J

Light travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s in a vacuum and slows to 2.0 × 108 m/s in glass. What is the index of refraction of glass?
Slav-nsk [51]
We are asked to solve for the index of refraction and the formula is n = c/v where "n" represents the index of refraction, "c" represents the speed of light in the vacuum while "v" represents the speed of another medium.
In the problem, we have the given values below:
c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 2 x 10^8 m/s
n =?

Solving for n, we have the solution below:
n = 3x10^8 /  2x10^8
n = 1.5

The answer is 1.5 for the index of refraction.

How do you identify short and long term comets
erica [24]
A second important difference between comets coming from the Kuiper Belt and from the Oort cloud is represented by their different characteristic periods.
In fact, short period comets are thought to generate in the Kuiper belt and have rather predictable orbits with short periods (up to 200 years). There are two major families of short period comets: the Jupiter family with periods of less than 20 years and the Halley family with periods form 20 to 200 years. That's short

Suppose there is a large amount of (weakly interacting) dark matter between us and a distant galaxy. How will this affect our vi
leonid [27]

Answer:

Dark matter does not affect our view, humans can see through them.

Explanation:

They do not affect our view because we can see right through the (weakly interacting) dark matter, as they do not interact or interfere with electromagnetic force.

Dark matter are often invisible substances and are difficult to spot because they don't absorb or reflect light.
