A model engine accelerated forward from rest along a straight track at 10.0 m/s2 for 3.0 seconds. It then accelerates coward at

16 m/s2 for 5.0 seconds, and finally decelerates at 12 m/s2 until it stops. Calculate how many seconds was the engine moving ?

Answer:

17.2 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 10.0 m/s²

t₁ = 3.0 s

a₂ = 16 m/s²

t₂ = 5.0 s

a₃ = -12 m/s²

v₃ = 0 m/s

Find: t

First, find v₁:

v₁ = a₁t₁ + v₀

v₁ = (10.0 m/s²) (3.0 s) + (0 m/s)

v₁ = 30 m/s

Next, find v₂:

v₂ = a₂t₂ + v₁

v₂ = (16 m/s²) (5.0 s) + (30 m/s)

v₂ = 110 m/s

Finally, find t₃:

v₃ = a₃t₃ + v₂

(0 m/s) = (-12 m/s²) t₃ + (110 m/s)

t₃ = 9.2 s

The total time is:

t = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

t = 3.0 s + 5.0 s + 9.2 s

t = 17.2 s

Round as needed.

How long does it take for 4 coulombs of charge to pass through a cross
Galina-37 [17]

Answer: 2 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Time (T) = ?

Charge (Q) = 4 coulombs

current (I) = 2 Amps

Since charge depends on the amount of current flowing through the wire in a given time, hence

Charge = Current x Time

Q = IT

4 coulombs = 2 Amps x Time

Time = 4 coulombs / 2 Amps

Time = 2 seconds

Thus, it takes 2 seconds for the current to flow through the wire

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

How much in kg is 1 N
Nookie1986 [14]
1 Newton in Earth gravity is the equivalent weight of 1/9.80665 kg on Earth. This is derived using Newton's second law f=ma and assuming Earth gravity of 9.80665 m/s2. 1 N (Earth) = 0.101971621297793 kg.

What happens to a current when the electric field in the wire increase
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

If the voltage is increased then the electric field is higher, and electron velocity (average) is proportional to this field. Then you have an increase in speed. And current is total charge passing per time unit, so current is proportional to velocity value of charge (and to voltage in resistors and wire).

Vector → A points due north and vector → B points due west. Both vectors have the same magnitude. Which of the following vectors
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

B - A

Explanation:

For the combination of 2 vector to due southwest, 1 vector must due south and the other vector due west. Since vector B is already due west, vector A should due south. As vector A is already due north, vector -A would due south. So the combination of B + (-A) or B - A should points southwest
