A city planner is working on the redesign of a hilly portion of a city. An important consideration is how steep the roads can be

so that even low-powered cars can get up the hills without slowing down. It is given that a particular small car, with a mass of 1090 kg, can accelerate on a level road from rest to 21 m/s (75.6 km/h) in 16.0 s. Using this data, calculate the maximum steepness of a hill.

Explanation:

It is known that relation between force and acceleration is as follows.

                      F = m \times a

I is given that, mass is 1090 kg and acceleration is 21 m/s. Therefore, we will calculate force as follows.

              F = m \times a      

                 = 1090 \times (\frac{21}{16})

                 = 1430.625 N

Also, it is known that

      sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{Force car can exert}}{\text{Force gravity pulls car}}

      sin(\theta) = \frac{1430.625 N}{(1090 \times 9.8) N}

        \theta = 7.70 degrees

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum steepness for the car to still be able to accelerate is 7.70 degrees.

A light wave has a 670 {\rm nm} wavelength in air. Its wavelength in a transparent solid is420 {\rm nm} .a)What is the speed of
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

Light wave wavelength in Air, λ_(vac) = 670 nm

wavelength in transparent solid, λ= 420 nm

Refractive index of the solid

n = \dfrac{\lambda_{vac}}{\lambda}

n = \dfrac{670}{420}

   n = 1.6

a) speed of light in the solid

v = \dfrac{c}{n}

v = \dfrac{c}{1.6}

       v = 0.625 c

b) light's frequency in the solid

  f = \dfrac{c}{\lambda_{vac}}

frequency of light remain same when light move from one medium to another.

 f is the frequency of light

  f = \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{670\times 10^{-9}}

        f = 4.47 x 10⁻¹⁴ Hz

the light's frequency in the solid is equal to 4.47 x 10⁻¹⁴ Hz

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, an object will accelerate if you apply what kind of force? Question 1 options: Frict
Bumek [7]

An unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

<h3>What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?</h3>

It states that the force applied to the object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

  • An object will accelerate when the net force applied on the object is more than zero or unbalanced.
  • The acceleration is the change in the direction or speed of the object. To achieve acceleration the force must be greater in a direction.

  • When force is greater in one the object move in that direction which is known as acceleration.

Therefore, an unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

What is the electrical force between q2 and q3? Recall that k = 8. 99 × 109 N•meters squared over Coulombs squared. 1. 0 × 1011
nlexa [21]

Force on the particle is defined as the application of the force field of one particle on another particle. the electrical force between q₁ and q₃ will be –1. 1 × 10¹¹ N.

<h3>What is electric force?</h3>

Force on the particle is defined as the application of the force field of one particle on another particle. It is a type of virtual force.

The electric force in the second case will be the same as in the first case. Therefore the force on the particle will be the same.

\rm F= K\frac{q_2q_3}{r^2}

\rm F= 9\times 10^9 \times \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13}\times 1.6\times10^{-13}}{(0.5)^2}

\rm F=  - 1. 1 \times 10^{11 }N

Hence the electrical force between q₁ and q₃ will be –1. 1 × 10¹¹ N.

A 12.70 g bullet has a muzzle velocity (at the moment it leaves the end of a firearm) of 430 m/s when rifle with a weight of 25.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

2.1844 m/s

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of momentum can be applied here.

when two objects interact, the total momentum remains the same  provided no external forces are acting.

Consider the whole system , gun and bullet. as an isolated system, so the net momentum is constant. In particular before firing the gun, the net momentum is zero. The conservation of momentum,

0=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}  + m_{rifle}*v_{rifle}  \\

assume the bullet goes to right side and the gravitational acceleration =10 ms^{-2}

so now the weight of the rifle=\frac{25}{10}  

0=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}  + m_{rifle}*v_{rifle}  \\\\0=(12.70*10^{-3}) *430ms^{-1} +(\frac{25}{10} )*v_{rifle} \\v_{rifle} =-2.1844ms^{-1}

this is a negative velocity to the right side. that means the rifle recoils to the left side
