Answer:

45 s

Explanation:

To find the time it takes to stop, we first find the deceleration, a of the car from

v² = u² + 2as and a = (v² - u²)/2s were v = final velocity of car = 0 mph = 0 m/s, u = initial velocity of car = 30 mph = 30 × 1609.34 ft ÷ 3600 s = 13.41 ft/s and s = distance = 300 ft. Substituting the values into a, we ave

a = (v² - u²)/2s = (0² - 13.41²)/2×300 = -0.3 ft/s²

We then find the time for this deceleration from v = u + at ⇒ t = (v - u)/a

t = (v - u)/a = (0 - 13.41 ft/s)/-0.3 ft/s² = - 13.41 ft/s/-0.3 ft/s² = 44.7 s ≅ 45 s

So it takes 45 seconds to stop.

The latent heat of fusion for Aluminium is 3.97 x 105. How much energy would be required to melt 0.75 kg of it?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

E = 2.9775\times10^5 J

Explanation:

Given:  The latent heat of fusion for Aluminum is L = 3.97\times10^5  J/Kg

mass to be malted m = 0.75 Kg

Energy require to melt E = mL

E = 3.97\times10^5\times0.75 = 2.9775\times10^5 J

Therefore, energy required to melt 0.75 Kg aluminum

E = 2.9775\times10^5 J

A positively charged metal sphere, A, is held close to but not touching and identical uncharged sphere, sphere B. Sphere A is no
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The sphere C carries no net charge.

Explanation:

  • When brougth close to the charged sphere A, as charges can move freely in  a conductor, a charge equal and opposite to the one on the sphere A, appears on the sphere B surface facing to the sphere A.
  • As sphere B must remain neutral (due to the principle of conservation of charge) an equal charge, but of opposite sign, goes to the surface also, on the opposite part of the sphere.
  • If sphere A is removed, a charge movement happens in the sphere B, in such a way, that no net charge remains on the surface.
  • If in such state, if  the sphere B (assumed again uncharged completely, without any local charges on the surface), is touched by an initially uncharged sphere C, due to the conservation of  charge principle, no net  charge can be built on sphere C.
