The driver of a pickup truck going 89.9 km/h applies the brakes giving the truck a uniform deceleration of 5.99 m/s^2 while it t

ravels 19.3 m.
a. The velocity of the truck in m/s at the end of this displacement is
_________ m/s.
b. How much time has elapsed?
_________s

(a) First, convert the truck's velocity from km/h to m/s:

89.9\,\dfrac{\mathrm{km}}{\mathrm h}\cdot\dfrac{10^3\,\mathrm m}{\mathrm{km}}\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm h}{3600\,\mathrm s}=25.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

Then the velocity v after traveling \Delta x=19.3\,\mathrm m satisfies

v^2-{v_0}^2=2a\Delta x

where v_0 and a are the truck's initial velocity and acceleration, respectively. So we have

v^2-\left(25.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(-5.99\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(19.3\,\mathrm m)

\implies v^2=394\,\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}

\implies v=\pm19.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

Taking the square root gives two possible velocities of the same magnitude but in opposite directions. It's technically feasible that over the given displacement, the truck changes its direction and is accelerating back towards its starting position since we're treating the truck as a particle.

(b) When acceleration is constant, average velocity is given by

v_{\mathrm{av}}=\dfrac{x-x_0}t=\dfrac{v+v_0}2

which tells us that

t=\dfrac{2(19.3\,\mathrm m)}{v+25.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}

Plugging in both possible values of v we found earlier, we get t=0.862\,\mathrm s (if v is positive) or t=7.42\,\mathrm s (if v is negative).

A large crate is suspended from the end of a vertical rope. Is the tension in the rope greater when the crate is at rest or when
choli [55]

Answer:

Part a)

the tension force is equal to the weight of the crate

Part b)

tension force is more than the weight of the crate while accelerating upwards

tension force is less than the weight of crate if it is accelerating downwards

Explanation:

Part a)

When large crate is suspended at rest or moving with uniform speed then it is given as

F_t - mg = ma

here since speed is constant or it is at rest

so we will have

a = 0

F_t = mg

so the tension force is equal to the weight of the crate

Part b)

Now let say the crate is accelerating upwards

now we can say

F_t - mg = ma

F_t = mg + ma

so tension force is more than the weight of the crate

Now if the crate is accelerating downwards

F_t - mg = -ma

F_t = mg - ma

so tension force is less than the weight of crate if it is accelerating downwards

A circuit is constructed with six resistors and two batteries as shown. the battery voltages are v1 = 18 v and v2 = 12 v. the po
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

V4=9.197v

Explanation:

Given:

V1= 18v ,V2= 12v ,r1=r5=58ohms ,r2=r6=124ohms , r3=47ohms ,r4= 125ohms

V4= I4R4 = V2/(R4 + R5)×R4

V4= 12×125 /(125 + 58)

V4=1500/183 =9.197v

B. On a separate sheet of paper, describe the different ways of generating electric power. ​
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

These all different sources of energy add to the store of electrical power that is then sent out to different locations via high powered lines. It is the energy from the sun that is harnessed using a range of technologies such as solar heating, solar architecture, photovoltaics, and artificial photosynthesis.

In a cyclic process, a gas performs 123 J of work on its surroundings per cycle. What amount of heat, if any, transfers into or
Margaret [11]

Answer:

123 J transfer into the gas

Explanation:

Here we know that 123 J work is done by the gas on its surrounding

So here gas is doing work against external forces

Now for cyclic process we know that

\Delta U = 0

so from 1st law of thermodynamics we have

dQ = W + \Delta U

dQ = W

so work done is same as the heat supplied to the system

So correct answer is

123 J transfer into the gas
