Calculate the acceleration of a 1400-kg car that stops from 39 km/h "on a dime" (on a distance of 1.7 cm).

Physics
1 answer:
Vinil7 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

a=-3449.67\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

The car is under an uniforly accelerated motion. So, we use the kinematic equations. We calculate the acceleration from the following equation:

v_f^2=v_0^2+2ax

We convert the initial speed to \frac{m}{s}

39\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=10.83\frac{m}{s}

The car stops, so its final speed is zero. Solving for a:

a=\frac{v_0^2}{2x}\\a=-\frac{(10.83\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(1.7*10^{-2}m)}\\a=-3449.67\frac{m}{s^2}

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.26 m and a spring constant of 180 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

a)

two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign. both charges are positive(+) or Negative (-)

b)

both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

Given that;

L = 0.26 m

k = 180 N/m

x = 0.039 m

a)

we know that two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign.

b)

Spring force F = kx

F = 180 × 0.039

F = 7.02 N

Now, Electrostatic force F = Keq²/r²

where r = L + x = ( 0.26 + 0.039 )

we know that proportionality constant in electrostatics equations Ke = 9×10⁹ kg⋅m3⋅s−2⋅C−2

so from the equation; F = Keq²/r²

Fr² = Keq²

q = √ ( Fr² / Ke )

we substitute

q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )

q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )

q =  √ (0.627595 / 9×10⁹)

q = √(6.97 × 10⁻¹¹)

q = 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Therefore both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Calculate the density of a solid cube that
tia_tia [17]
Ok so if each side is 4.53 cm, we can multiply 4.53 x 4.53 x 4.53 to get the volume (since v= l x w x h). Density equals mass/volume, so

519 g/4.53 cm 
114.57 g/cm^3 (since none of the units cancel)
