Papessa [141]3 years ago

as we know that

acceleration = 0.50 m/s^2

distance traveled = 125 m

time taken = 20 s

now we will use the equation of kinematics

d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

125 = v_i* 20 + \frac{1}{2}*0.50*20^2

125 = 20*v_i + 100

125 - 100 = 20*v_i

v_i = 1.25 m/s

so its initial speed must be 1.25 m/s

Let l = Q/L = linear charge density. The semi-circle has a length L which is half the circumference of the circle. So w can relate the radius of the circle to L by 

<span>C = 2L = 2*pi*R ---> R = L/pi </span>

<span>Now define the center of the semi-circle as the origin of coordinates and define a as the angle between R and the x-axis. </span>

<span>we can define a small charge dq as </span>

<span>dq = l*ds = l*R*da </span>

<span>So the electric field can be written as: </span>

<span>dE =kdq*(cos(a)/R^2 I_hat + sin(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>dE = k*I*R*da*(cos(a)/R^2 I_hat + sin(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>E = k*I*(sin(a)/R I_hat - cos(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>E = pi*k*Q/L(sin(a)/L I_hat - cos(a)/L j_hat)</span>

Interactive Solution 9.1 presents a model for solving this problem. The wheel of a car has a radius of 0.380 m. The engine of th
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The magnitude of the static frictional force is 1200 N

Explanation:

given information :

radius, r = 0.380 m

applied-torque, τ1 = 456 N

The car has a constant velocity, thus the acceleration is zero

α = 0

Στ = I α

τ1 - τ2 = I α

τ2 = counter-torque

τ1 - τ2 = 0

τ1 = τ2

r x F_{s} = τ1

F_{s} = the static frictional force (N)

F_{s} = τ1 /r

  = 456 N/0.380 m

  = 1200 N

How many valence electrons are in alkali metals
tatuchka [14]
If you look on the periodic table you will see the top group elements depending on how the elements relate to each in the column. All of the elements in that column show they all have 1 electron in their valence shell. Some of the chemicals in that family or group are Sodium, Lithium, Potassium. The are very reactive because they only have one electron and what 7 more to become stable.

Imagine that you are driving in your car with a heavy bag of groceries on the front seat and you slam on your brakes to stop. Th
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is inertia.

Explanation:

The heavy bag of groceries is initially within the inertia frame of the car. This indicates that the heavy bag acquires the same speed as the car.

When the car stops, the heavy bag continues to move forward with the speed it had due to the principle of inertia, which states the property that the bodies cannot modify by themselves the state of rest or movement in which they are.

Have a nice day!
