Assuming that it continues to accelerate at the same rate it will take another 10 seconds to reach 40 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the first question states that there is a change in the velocity from rest to 20 m/s in 10 seconds time interval. So the acceleration experienced by the car during this 10 seconds should be determined first as follows:

Acceleration = (final velocity-initial velocity)/Time

Acceleration = (20-0)/10 = 2 m/s².

So this means the car is traveling with an acceleration of 2 m/s².

As it is stated that the car continues to move with same acceleration, then in the second case, the acceleration is fixed as 2 m/s², initial velocity as 20 m/s and final velocity as 40 m/s. So the time taken for the car to reach this velocity with the constant acceleration value will be as follows:

Time = Change in velocity/Acceleration

Time = (40-20)/2 = 20/2=10 s

So again in another 10 seconds by the car to reach 40 m/s from 20 m/s. Similarly the car will take a total of 20 seconds to reach from rest to 40 m/s value for velocity.

A 1.2 kg block of wood hangs motionless from strings. A 50 gram bullet, traveling horzontally, strikes the block and becomes emb
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

speed of the bullet before it hit the block is 200 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass of block m1 = 1.2 kg

mass of bullet m2 = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

combine speed V= 8.0 m/s

to find out

speed of the bullet before it hit the block

solution

we will apply here conservation of momentum that is

m1 × v1 + m2 × v2 = M × V    .............1

here m1 is mass of block and m2 is mass of bullet and v1 is initial speed of block i.e 0 and v2 is initial speed of bullet and M is combine mass of block and bullet and V is combine speed of block and bullet

put all value in equation 1

m1 × v1 + m2 × v2 = M × V

1.2 × 0 + 0.05 × v2 = ( 1.2 + 0.05 ) × 8

solve it we get

v2 = 200 m/s

so speed of the bullet before it hit the block is 200 m/s

Why is Energy not created nor destroyed?<br> (Need the answer ASAP!!)
eduard

Since both heat and work can be measured and quantified, this is the same as saying that any change in the energy of a system must result in a corresponding change in the energy of the surroundings outside the system. In other words, energy cannot be created or destroyed.
