Answer:

$a=2.8\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of an object, u = 22 m/s

Final velocity of an object, v = 36 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

It can be assumed to find the average acceleration of the object instead of average velocity.

The change in velocity per unit time is equal to average acceleration of an object. It can be given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{36\ m/s-22\ m/s}{5}\\\\\a=\dfrac{14}{5}\ m/s^2\\\\a=2.8\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the object is $2.8\ m/s^2$ .

Which of the following is not an example of critical thinking?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Critical thinking means that you should question everything that you read and hear and you should also verify your information. You should not just accept the first possible answer without questioning or verifying it.

So the correct answer is:
c. implementing the first solution to a problem identified

PLEASE HELP! I don't get it at all! Speed is one thing; distance is another. Where is the arrow you shoot up at 50m/s when it ru

LuckyWell [14K]

I got you b, V(final)^2=V(initial+2acceleration*displacement
So this turns to (0m/s)^2=(50m/s)^2+2(9.8)(d) so just flip it all around to isolate d so you get
-(50m/s)^2/2(9.8) = d so you get roughly 12.7555 meters up

a car starts from the rest and accelerates at 9.54m/s for 6.5 seconds. what is the distance covered by the car

uysha [10]

Answer:

= 201.53 meters

Explanation:

A car started from rest and accelerated at 9.54 m/s^2 for 6.5 seconds. How much distance was covered by the car?

Use the formula d = $\frac{at^{2} }{2} ,$

where d is the distance, t is the time and "a" is the acceleration.
$d=\frac{9*54*6*5^{2} }{2} = 201.53 m$

In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy $E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH$

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH

In a very large closed tank, the absolute pressure of the air above the water is 6.46 x 105 Pa. The water leaves the bottom of t

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a) 35.94 ms⁻²

b) 65.85 m

Explanation:

Take down the data:

ρ = 1000kg/m3

a) First, we need to establish the total pressure of the water in the tank. Note the that the tanks is closed. It means that the total pressure, Ptot, at the bottom of the tank is the sum of the pressure of the water plus the air trapped between the tank rook and water. In other words:

Ptot = Pgas + Pwater

However, the air is the one influencing the water to move, so elimininating Pwater the equation becomes:

Ptot = Pgas

= 6.46 × 10⁵ Pa

The change in pressure is given by the continuity equation:

ΔP = 1/2ρv²

where v is the velocity of the water as it exits the tank.

Calculating:

6.46 × 10⁵ =1/2 ×1000×v²

solving for v, we get v = 35.94 ms⁻²

b) The Bernoulli's equation will be applicable here.

The water is coming out with the same pressure, therefore, the equation will be:

ΔP = ρgh

6.46 × 10⁵ = 1000 x 9.81 x h

h = 65.85 meters
