A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0 m/s. Then the truck trav

els for 20.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the truck in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s. (a) How long is the truck in motion? (b) What is the average velocity of the truck for the motion described?

<span>You can use the equation
V_xf = V_xi + a_x(t)

V_xf = 20.0m/s
V_xi = 0m/s
ax = 2.0 t

Thus, solve for t and get 10seconds and then take 5 seconds to break after 20 seconds of driving so for

a) 10 + 20 + 5 = 35 seconds

</span><span>for part b)
You can use the formula
Delta x/Delta t = average velocity
 
Need to find xf, knowing xi = 0

Thus, use the formula
 x_f = x_i + V_xi(t) + (1/2)a_x(t)^(2)
x_f = 0 + 0(10) + (1/2)(2.0)(10)^(2)
 x_f = 100m
 
so for the first 10 seconds the truck traveled 100ms At a speed of 20m/s

20m/s = xm/20s 20*20 = x
x = 400
 
thus we have 100+400 = 500m then it slows down from 500m to x_f
 
thus I use the equation
x_f = x_i + (1/2)(V_xf + V_xi)t
x_f = 500 + (1/2)(0 + 20)(5) x_f = 500 + 50
x_f = 550
 
therefore the total distance traveled is 550m
</span>
<span>to calculate average velocity
550/35 = 16m/s

thus V_xavg = 16m/s</span>

supose at 20 degree celsius the resistance of Tungsten thermometer is 154.9. WHen placed in a particular solution , the resistan
saw5 [17]

Answer:

T₂ = 95.56°C

Explanation:

The final resistance of a material after being heated is given by the relation:

R' = R(1 + αΔT)

where,

R' = Final Resistance = 207.4 Ω

R = Initial Resistance = 154.9 Ω

α = Temperature Coefficient of Resistance of Tungsten = 0.0045 °C⁻¹

ΔT = Change in Temperature = ?

Therefore,

207.4 Ω = 154.9 Ω[1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT]

207.4 Ω/154.9 Ω = 1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT

1.34 - 1 = (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT

ΔT = 0.34/0.0045°C⁻¹

ΔT = 75.56°C

but,

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = T₂ - 20°C

T₂ - 20°C = 75.56°C

T₂ = 75.56°C + 20°C

<u>T₂ = 95.56°C</u>

The force needed to keep a car from skidding on a curve varies inversely as the radius of the curve and jointly as the weight of
motikmotik

Explanation:

It is given that, the force needed to keep a car from skidding on a curve varies inversely as the radius of the curve and jointly as the weight of the car and the square of the car's speed such that,

F\propto \dfrac{mgv^2}{r}

F=\dfrac{kmgv^2}{r}

mg is the weight of the car

r is the radius of the curve

v is the speed of the car

Case 1.

F = 640 pounds

Weight of the car, W = mg = 2600 pound

Radius of the curve, r = 650 ft

Speed of the car, v = 40 mph

640=\dfrac{k(2600)(40)^2}{650}

k = 0.1

Case 2.

Radius of the curve, r = 750 ft

Speed of the car, v = 30 mph

F=\dfrac{0.1\times 2600\times (30)^2}{750}

F = 312 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

When the temperature of a metal cylinder is raised from 0.0°C to 110°C, its length increases by 0.22%. Find the percent change i
monitta
<span>Volume of cylinder = pi*r*2*L

As, from the above formula,volume is directly proportional to length, 
So, if we increase in length also increases in volume by 0.22%

we know 

</span><span>density=<span><span>mass/</span><span>volume

As, density is inversely proportional to volume it means increasing in volume decreases the density by 50.22%
