Classes are canceled due to snow, so you take advantage of the extra time to conduct some physics experiments. You fasten a larg

e toy rocket to the back of a sled, and take the modified sled to a large, flat, snowy field. You ignite the rocket, and observe that the sled accelerates from rest in the forward direction at a rate of 13.5 m/s2 for a time period of 3.30 s. After this time period, the rocket engine abruptly shuts off, and the sled subsequently undergoes a constant backward acceleration due to friction of 6.15 m/s2.After the rocket turns off, how much time does it take for the sled to come to a stop?By the time the sled finally comes to a rest, how far has it traveled from its starting point?

Answer:

-time it takes for the sled to come to a stop after launch of rocket = 7.244 s

-distance sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest is = 234.8655 m

Explanation:

From the question, looking at the motion while accelerating, we have;

Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s

Acceleration; a = 13.5 m/s²

Time; t = 3.3 s

Let's use first equation of motion to find final velocity (v).

v = u + at

v = 0 + (13.5 × 3.3)

v = 44.55 m/s

In this forward direction, let's calculate the displacement(d1) using newton's 3rd equation of motion.

d1 = ut + ½at²

d1 = 0(3.3) + ½(13.5 × 3.3²)

d1 = 73.5075 m

Now, let's consider the motion while slowing down and our final velocity will be 0 m/s while initial velocity will now be 44.55 m/s while acceleration is 6.15 m/s².

Thus, from v = u + at, we can find the time it take for the sled to come to a stop.

Now, since it's coming to rest acceleration will be negative. Thus;

0 = 44.55 + (-6.15t)

0 = 44.55 - 6.15t

t = 44.55/6.15

t = 7.244 s

Now we want to find out how far the sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest.

Thus, we'll use the equation;

v² = u² + 2as

Where s will be the second displacement which we will call d2.

Thus;

0² = 44.55² + (-2 × 6.15 × s)

0 = 1984.7025 - 12.3s

12.3s = 1984.7025

s = 1984.7025/12.3

s = 161.358

Thus, d2 = s = 161.358 m

Thus, distance sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest is ;

= d1 + d2 = 73.5075 + 161.358 = 234.8655 m

A negatively charged particle is moving to the right, directly above a wire have a current flowing to the right. In which direct
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

C) upward

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the right-hand rule.

First of all, we notice at the location of the negatively charged particle (above the wire), the magnetic field produced by the wire points out of the page (because the current is to the right, so by using the right hand, putting the thumb to the right (as the current) and wrapping the other fingers around it, we see that the direction of the field above the wire is out of the page).

Now we can apply the right hand rule to the charged particle:

- index finger: velocity of the particle, to the right

- middle finger: direction of the magnetic field, out of the page

- thumb: direction of the force, downward --> however, the charge is negative, so we must reverse the direction --> upward

Therefore, the direction of  the magnetic force is upward.

At a department store, you adjust the mirrors in the dressing room so that they are parallel and 6.2 ft apart. You stand 1.8 ft
barxatty [35]

Answer:

<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>

<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>

Explanation:

Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft

difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft

a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.

According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,

your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>

b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.

the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,

the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,

therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>

A car travels for 5.5 h at an average speed<br> of 75 km/h. How far did it travel?<br> T TE
ANEK [815]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 412.5 \ kilometers }}

Explanation:

Distance is the product of speed and time.

d=s*t

The speed of the car is 75 kilometers per hour. It traveled for 5.5 hours.

s= 75 \ km/hr \\t= 5.5 \ hr

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= 75 \ km/hr * 5.5 \ hr

Multiply. Note that the hours will cancel each other out.

d= 75 km * 5.5 \\d= 412.5 \ km

The car travelled <u>412.5 kilometers.</u>
