Answer:

$a=4\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for this uniformly accelerated motion in which the car starts from rest at 0 m/s and travels 18 m in 3.0 s, we can compute the acceleration by using the following equation:

$x_f=x_0+v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Whereas the final distance is 18 m, the initial distance is 0 m, the initial velocity is 0 m/s and the time is 3.0 s, that is why the acceleration turns out:

$a=\frac{2(x_f-v_ot)}{t^2} =\frac{2(18m-0m/s*3.0s)}{(3.0s)^2}\\ \\a=4\frac{m}{s^2}$

Best regards.

Adding or removing thermal energy to or from a substance does not always cause its temperature

julia-pushkina [17]

Change in thermal energy not always cause it's temperature change. It is the situation when water reaches either at 0 C or 100 C then thermal energy doesn't cause change in temperature instead it changes the state of matter.

In short, Your Answer would be "True"

Hope this helps!

The second diagram is Nuclear Fusion which is the process where 2 light nuclei combine together releasing a lot of energy.

A steel ball rolls with a constant velocity on a tabletop 0.950 m high it rolls off and hit the ground 0.352 m from the edge of

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

0.799 m/s if air resistance is negligible.

Explanation:

For how long is the ball in the air?

Acceleration is constant. The change in the ball's height $\Delta h$ depends on the square of the time:

$\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t$ ,

where

$\Delta h$ is the change in the ball's height.
$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
$t$ is the time for which the ball is in the air.
$v_0$ is the initial vertical velocity of the ball.

The height of the ball decreases, so this value should be the opposite of the height of the table relative to the ground. $\Delta h = -0.950\;\text{m}$ .
Gravity pulls objects toward the earth, so $g$ is also negative. $g \approx -9.81\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ near the surface of the earth.
Assume that the table is flat. The vertical velocity of the ball will be zero until it falls off the edge. As a result, $v_0 = 0$ .

Solve for $t$ .

$\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t$ ;

$\displaystyle -0.950 = \frac{1}{2} \times (-9.81) \cdot t^{2}$ ;

$\displaystyle t^{2} =\frac{-0.950}{1/2 \times (-9.81)}$ ;

$t \approx 0.440315\;\text{s}$ .

What's the initial horizontal velocity of the ball?

Horizontal displacement of the ball: $\Delta x = 0.352\;\text{m}$ ;
Time taken: $\Delta t = 0.440315\;\text{s}$

Assume that air resistance is negligible. Only gravity is acting on the ball when it falls from the tabletop. The horizontal velocity of the ball will not change while the ball is in the air. In other words, the ball will move away from the table at the same speed at which it rolls towards the edge.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Rolling Velocity}&=\text{Horizontal Velocity} \\&= \text{Average Horizontal Velocity}\\ &=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{0.352\;\text{m}}{0.440315\;\text{s}}=0.0799\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Both values from the question come with 3 significant figures. Keep more significant figures than that during the calculation and round the final result to the same number of significant figures.
