A car, on a straight road, is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns to green the car accelerates with a constant acce

leration. It reaches a speed of 19.1 m/s (68.8 km/h) in a distance of 101 m. Calculate the acceleration of the car.

Answer:

Acceleration of the car will be equal to $a=1.805m/sec^2$

Explanation:

As the car is initially stop so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m /sec

It is given that after moving a distance of 101 m velocity of car is 19.1 m/sec

So final velocity of the car v=19.1 m/sec

We have to find the acceleration of the car

From third equation of motion we know that $v^2=u^2+2as$

So $19.1^2=0^2+2\times a\times 101$

$a=1.805m/sec^2$

So acceleration of the car will be equal to $a=1.805m/sec^2$

A small 12.00 g plastic ball is suspended by a string in a uniform, horizontal electric field. If the ball is in equilibrium whe

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$Q = \frac{0.068}{E}$

where E = electric field intensity

Explanation:

As we know that plastic ball is suspended by a string which makes 30 degree angle with the vertical

So here force due to electrostatic force on the charged ball is in horizontal direction along the direction of electric field

while weight of the ball is vertically downwards

so here we have

$QE = F_x$

$mg = F_y$

since string makes 30 degree angle with the vertical so we will have

$tan\theta = \frac{F_x}{F_y}$

$tan30 = \frac{QE}{mg}$

$Q = \frac{mg}{E}tan30$

$Q = \frac{0.012\times 9.81}{E} tan30$

$Q = \frac{0.068}{E}$

where E = electric field intensity

The resistance created by waves on a 120-m-long ship is tested in a channel using a model that is 4 m long Y Part A If the ship

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

$V_m = 12.78 km/hr$

Explanation:

given,

length of the ship = 120 m

length of model of the ship = 4 m

Speed at which the ship travels = 70 km/h

speed of model = ?

by using froude's law

$F_r = \dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}}$

for dynamic similarities

$(\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}})_P = (\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}})_{model}$

$(\dfrac{V_p}{\sqrt{L_p}}) = (\dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{L_m}})$

$(\dfrac{70}{\sqrt{120}}) = (\dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{4}})$

$V_m = 12.78 km/hr$

hence, the velocity of model will be 12.78 km/h

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh

DiKsa [7]

Answer:(a)360N,(b)171N,(c)2.702m

Explanation:

(a)Maximum Friction Force = $\mu \left ( N\right )=0.4\times \left ( 740+160\right )$

=360 N

$cos\theta =\frac{3}{5}$

$sin\theta =\frac{4}{5}$

(b)Moment about Ground Point

$740\times 1\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta$

$N_1tan\theta =1140$

$N_1=171 N$

$N_1=f=171 N$

(c)

$740\times x\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta$

Here maximum friction force can be 360 N

Therefore $N_1=360 N$

Where x is the maximum distance moved by man along the ladder

$360\times 5\times \frac{4}{3}=740x+160\times 2.5$

740x=2000

x=2.702m

Explain all the energy conversions that take place while using a cell phone.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

-Chemical energy in the battery is converted into Electrical Energy which powers up the phone.

-The electrical energy is then converted to Light Energy when the phone is powered up, this is seen through the lightening up of the phone screen.

-During phone calls, the electrical energy is further converted to Sound Energy to allow for transmission of audio signals.

- As we continue to use the phone, the electrical energy is converted into heat energy which we feel due to an overheating battery.

-The cycle then repeats itself again whenever a phone is charged.
