A busy chipmunk runs back and forth along a straight line of acorns that has been set out between his burrow and a nearby tree.

At some instant the chipmunk moves with a velocity of -1.15 m/s. Then, 2.11 s later, it moves at a velocity of 1.63 m/s. What is the chipmunk's average acceleration during the 2.11-s time interval in m/s^2?

Answer: a = 1.32m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration is 1.32m/s2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in the velocity per time

a = change in velocity/time

a = ∆v/t

average acceleration a = (v2 -v1)/t. ....1

Given;

Final velocity v2 = 1.63m/s

Initial velocity v1 = -1.15ms

time taken t = 2.11s

Substituting into eqn 1

a = [1.63 - (-1.15)]/2.11

a = (1.63+1.15)/2.11

a = 2.78/2.11

a = 1.32m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration is 1.32m/s2

How many joules of work are done against a truck when a force of 50 N pushes it 1 kilometer away
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Work = 50,000 J

Explanation:

Work = force * distance

Given that,

  • force = 50N
  • Distance = 1km = 1000m

Work = 50 * 1000

Work = 50,000 J

The conducting path between the right hand and the left hand can be modeled as a 9.0-cm-diameter, 140-cm-long cylinder. The aver
Crank

Answer:

The potential difference is 121.069 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the cylinder, d = 9.0 cm = 0.09 m

Length of the cylinder, l = 40 cm = 1.4 m

Average Resistivity, \rho = 5.5\ \Omega-m

Current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Now,

To calculate the potential difference between the hands:

Cross- sectional Area of the Cylinder, A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2} = 6.36\times 10^{- 3}\ m^{2}

Resistivity is given by:

\rho = R\frac{A}{l}

R = \rho \frac{l}{A}

R = 5.5\times \frac{1.4}{6.36\times 10^{- 3}} = 1210.69\ \Omega

Now, using Ohm's Law:

V = IR

V = 0.1\times 1210.69 = 121.069\ V

A vw beetle goes from 0 to 60 mi/h with an acceleration of 2.35 m/s^2.
Vlad1618 [11]
Part a.
u = 0, the initial velocity
v = 60 mi/h, the final velocity
a = 2.35 m/s², the acceleration.

Note that
1 m = 1609.34 m.
Therefore
v = (60 mi/h)*(1609.34 m/mi)*(1/3600 h/s) = 26.822 m/s
Use the formula
v = u + at
(26.822 m/s) = (2.35 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 26.822/2.35 = 11.4 s

Answer: 11.4 s

Part b.
We already determined that v = 60 mi/h = 26.822 m/s.
t = 0.6 s
Therefore
(26.822 m/s) = (a m/s²)*(0.6 s)
a = 26.822/0.6 = 44.7 m/s²

Answer:  44.7 m/s²
