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>

Your spaceship lands on an unknown planet. to determine the characteristics of this planet, you drop a 1.50 kg wrench from 5.50
Vesnalui [34]
1. calculate the value of acceleration that objects gains in that period of time
•calculating acceleration
5.50 = 1/2at^2
5.50*2/t^2 = a
11.00/0.657 = a
16.74=a
now you got the acceleration
2. you have laws of gravitation for that

g = Gm/r^2
where g is the acceleration value
16.74 = 6.754*10^-11 × m/ 6.28*10^4
105.14*10^4 /6.754*10-11 = m
15.567*10^15 = m
that would be the mass of the planet ...

<span>H(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s
</span><span>Part A:
</span>Using the given data:

H(t)= -16*t² + 60*t + 82;

Part B:
Put H(t)=0
0<span>= -16*t² + 60*t + 82;</span>
Use the quadratic formula to find t.

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 80.0 nC. The plates are in va
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

10000 V

0.00225988700565 m²

8\times 10^{-12}\ F

Explanation:

E = Electric field = 4\times 10^6\ V/m

d = Gap = 2.5 mm

Q = Charge = 80 nC

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

Potential difference is given by

V=Ed\\\Rightarrow V=4\times 10^6\times 2.5\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow V=10000\ V

The potential difference between the plates is 10000 V

Area is given by

A=\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_0E}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{80\times 10^{-9}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 4\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow A=0.00225988700565\ m^2

The area of the plate is 0.00225988700565 m²

Capacitance is given by

C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.00225988700565}{2.5\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow C=8\times 10^{-12}\ F

The capacitance is 8\times 10^{-12}\ F
