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.

Heya!!

For calculate aceleration, lets applicate second law of Newton:

                                                    \boxed{F=ma}

                                                 <u>Δ   Being   Δ</u>

                                                F = Force = 4 N

                                              m = mass = 36 kg

                                             a = Aceleration = ?

⇒ Let's replace according the formula:

\boxed{4\ N = 36\ kg * \textbf{a}}

⇒ Clear acceleration and resolve it:

\boxed{\textbf{a}=0,111\ m/s^{2}}}

Result:

The aceleration is of <u>0,111 meters per second squared (m/s²)</u>

Good Luck!!

Ice of mass 5 g at 0 °C melts to water at 0 °C.
amid [387]

Answer:

Q=1670J

Explanation:

Mass of ice: m=5g=0.005kg

Latent heat: lambda=3.34×10⁵J/kg

Heat received by ice: Q=m×lambda

Q=0.005×3.34×10⁵=5×334=1670J

What is power, and what is its relationship to voltage and amperage?
kvasek [131]
The relationship between amperage, voltage, and power is that power equals the amperage quantity times the amount of voltage.

Power: is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.
