A car (m = 1302 kg) traveling along a road begins accelerating with a constant acceleration of 1.50 m/s2 in the direction of mot

ion. After traveling 392 m at this acceleration, its speed is 35.0 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the car when it began accelerating.

First we will use the concepts of motion kinetics for which the final speed is defined as shown below,

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2as$

Here,

$v_f$ = Final velocity

$v_i$ = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

s = Distance

Replacing,

$(35)^2 = v_i^2+2(1.5)(392)$

$v_i = 7m/s$

Using the conservation of energy for kinetic energy we have,

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(1302)(7)^2$

$KE = 31900J$

Therefore the kinetic energy of the car is 31900J

A rotating space station is said to create "artificial gravity" - a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The artificial gravity generated by the rotating space station is the same centripetal acceleration due to the rotational motion of the station, which is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(1)$

Here, r is the radius and v is the tangential speed, which is given by:

$v=\omega r(2)$

Here $\omega$ is the angular velocity, we replace (2) in (1):

$a_c=\frac{(\omega r)^2}{r}\\\\a_c=\omega^2r$

Recall that $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{200m}{2}=100m$ .

Solving for $\omega$ :

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a_c}{r}}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}{100m}}\\\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}$

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin

Mashutka [201]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is $14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}$ , where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.

Explanation:

We will calculate the work done as follows.

W = $\int_{0}^{0.54} F dx$

= $\int_{0}^{0.54} (14,000 + 10,000x - 26,000x^{2}) dx$

= $[14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}$

= 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69

= 7653.31 J

or, = 7.65 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field given by E =-2.30 x 10-10 N/Cj. After the electron has traveled a ver

Goshia [24]

Explanation:

It is given that,

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field of, $E=2.3\times 10^{-10}\ N/C$

Vertical distance covered, $s=1\ \mu m=10^{-6}\ m$

We need to find the speed of the electron. Let its speed is v. Using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$v^2=2as$ .............(1)

Electric force is $F_e$ and force of gravity is $F_g$ . As both forces are acting in downward direction. So, total force is:

$F=mg+qE$

$F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8+1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2.3\times 10^{-10}$

$F=4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N$

Acceleration of the electron, $a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}$

$a=50.21\ m/s^2$

Put the value of a in equation (1) as :

$v=\sqrt{2as}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 50.21\times 10^{-6}}$

v = 0.010 m/s

So, the speed of the electron is 0.010 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
