Answer:

xn = 36.28 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics, which is ideal for a body that moves with constant acceleration.

$x=x_{0}+(v_{o} *t)+(\frac{1}{2} )*a*t^{2}$

where:

x - xo = displacement of the car [m]

Vo = initial velocity = 0

t = time = 7.2 [s]

a = acceleration = 1.4 [m/s^2]

The initial velocity is zero, as the car begins its movement from rest.

xn = (x - xo), Now replacing

xn = (0*7.2) + 0.5*1.4*(7.2^2)

xn = 36.28 [m]

A body has a mass of 2kg.it accelerats from 20m/s to 40m/s in 4 seconds.the resultant force is<br>

GaryK [48]

The resultant force is 8N

Given that mass is 2kg , v= 40m/s, u =20m/s and we need to calculate resultant force
F=ma

m is given
so for a
v-u/t=a { first equation of motion }

40-20/4= 4
so a=4

F = ma =2*4 = 8N
The difference between the forces that are acting on an object as part of a system is known as the resultant force.
v = u + at is the first equation of motion. Here, v denotes the end speed, u the starting speed, an acceleration, and t the passage of time. The first equation of motion is provided by the velocity-time relation, which may be used to calculate acceleration.

The photometer is a device that converts light to voltage which is read out by the digital multimeter (DMM). This is due to the

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Option B

It converts light into electric current

Explanation:

A photometer is a device used to measure illuminance

Its principle of operation hinges on the conversion of light into electric current, using photoresistor or any other light sensitive device such as a photodiode. This is so that it can be read off easily by any other device.

A Photoresistor is a device that changes the flow of current through it when it is exposed to light rays. A photometer works by irradiating a photo resistor, which then converts the light rays incident on it to electric current.

A mass is attached to an ideal spring. At time t = 0 the spring is at its natural length and the mass is given an initial veloci

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

t = T/4

Explanation:

The power delivered to the mass by the spring is work done by the spring per second.

$P = \frac{dW}{dt}$

The work done by the spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring.

$U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

The maximum energy stored in the spring is at the amplitude of the oscillation.

$U_{max} =\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

So the first time the mass reaches to its amplitude can be found by the following equation of motion:

$x = A\cos(\omega t + \phi)\\\phi = \pi/2 ~because ~at ~t= 0, ~ x = 0\\0 = A\cos(0 + \pi/2)\\x = A\cos(\omega t + \pi/2)$

When the mass reaches the amplitude:

$A = A\cos(\omega t + \pi/2)\\1 = \cos(\omega t + \pi/2)\\\omega t + \pi/2 = \pi$

because cos(π) = 1.

$\omega t = \pi/2$

Using ω = 2π/T,

$\omega t = \pi/2\\\frac{2\pi}{T}t = \pi/2\\t = \frac{T}{4}$

marissa [1.9K]

The second problem requires a figure to be answered. For the first problem
The acceleration of the sack is
1.5² - 0² = 2a(0.2)
a = 5.63 m/s2
The reaction of the ramp is
F = 8 kg (5.63 m/s2)
F = 45 N
Differentiate the kinematic equation involving time to get the rate of increase of the velocity.
