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.

Write your question here (Keep it simple and clear to get the best answer) a car accelerates uniformly from an initial velocity
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Average velocity = 18 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 10m/s

Acceleration = 2m/s²

Time = 4 seconds

To find the average velocity, we would use the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

V = u + at

V = 10 + 2*4

V = 10 + 8

V = 18 m/s

A student on an amusement park ride moves in circular path with a radius of 3.5 m once every 4.5 s. What is the tangential veloc
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

the tangential velocity of the student is 4.89 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

the radius of the circular path, r = 3.5 m

duration of the motion, t = 4.5 s

let the student's tangential velocity = v

The tangential velocity of the student is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{2\pi r}{t} \\\\v = \frac{2 \pi \times 3.5}{4.5} \\\\v = 4.89 \ m/s

Therefore, the tangential velocity of the student is 4.89 m/s.

Geologists know the past temperature of the planet based on rock and fossil evidence. Why do you think it is difficult to determ
Basile [38]

Answer:

I think it is difficult to determine what has caused climate change in the distant past because it must have been a long time ago so geologists can't carry out different experiments and figure out what gases the planet had conjured, so geologists can only make predictions based off the evidence they currently have from what the planet looked like before. The planet must have changed over the years, therefore the climate has also changed in the future, so they cannot work with how the planet looked in the past.
