A cart is driven by a large propeller or fan, which can accelerate or decelerate the cart. The cart starts out at the position x

= 0 m, with an initial velocity of +5.0 m/s and a constant acceleration due to the fan, The direction to the right is positive. The cart reaches a maximum position of x = +12.5 m, where it begins to travel in the negative direction. Find the acceleration of the cart.

Answer:

The acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion:

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*x

2*a*x = Vf^2 - Vi^2

a = (Vf^2 - Vi^2)/ 2*x

Where Vf is the final velocity of the cart, Vi is the initial velocity of the cart, a the acceleration of the cart and x the displacement of the cart.

Let x = Xf -Xi

Where Xf is the final position of the cart and Xi the initial position of the cart.

x = 12.5 - 0

x = 12.5

The cart comes to a stop before changing direction

Vf = 0 m/s

a = (0^2 - 5^2)/ 2*12.5

a = - 1 m/s^2

The cart is decelerating

Therefore the acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

"The two equations below express conservation of energy and conservation of mass for water flowing from a circular hole of radiu
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The two equations below express conservation of energy and conservation of mass for water flowing from a circular hole of radius 3 centimeters at the bottom of a cylindrical tank of radius 10 centimeters. In these equations, delta m is the mass that leaves the tank in time delta t, v is the velocity of the water flowing through the hole, and h is the height of the water in the tank at time t. g is the acceleration of gravity, which you should approximate as 1000 cm/s2.

Frank has a sample of steel that has a mass of 80 grams if the density is 8g/cm3 what is the volume
nikklg [1K]
Density is mass divided by volume. rho=m/v. So, v=m/rho. In frank's case this is 80/8 = 10 cm^3.

Current is the movement of negative charges called protons.<br> A. True<br> B. False
Kruka [31]

Answer: Option B) False

Explanation:

Current is the movement of negative charges called electrons. Protons, neutrons and electrons are the three subatomic particles that make up particles of the conductors that transmit current, however electrons are negatively charged and their gain or loss determines movement of electric current.

Thus, the statement is false
