Answer:

(a)Average velocity ,v =128.74 Km/hr

(b)Kinetic Energy , K=958546.875 Joule

(c)Distance, s=268.8m

(d)Acceleration, a= - 2.38 $m/s^2$

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

Distance travelled = 40 miles

Time taken = 30 minutes.

(A) The average velocity in kilometres/hour

Converting 40 miles into km ,

we know that,

1 mile = 1.60934

40 miles = 40 x 1.60934

so 40 miles = 64.3738 Km

similarly converting 30 minutes into hours

1 minute = $\frac{1}{60}hours$

30 minute = $\frac{30}{60}hours$

30 minute = $\frac{1}{2}hours$

Now

Average velocity = $\frac{Speed}{time}$

Substituting Values,

Average velocity = $\frac{64.3738}{\frac[1}{2}}$

Average velocity = $64.3738 \times 2$

Average velocity =128.74 Km/hr

(B) If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its kinetic energy in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)? in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)?

Converting 1.5 tons into kg we get

1 ton = 1000 kg

so 1.5 ton =1500 kg

converting velocity to m/s

$128.74 \times \frac{5}{18}$

=>35.75 m/s----------------------------------------------------------(1)

kinetic energy K= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Substituting the values,

K= $\frac{1}{2}1500(35.75)^2$

K= $\frac{1}{2}1500(1278.06)$

K= $\frac{1500 \times (1278.06)}{2}$

K= $\frac{1917093.75}{2}$

K=958546.875 Joule---------------------------------------------(2)

(c)When the driver applies the brake, it takes 15 seconds to stop. How far does the car travel (in meters) while stopping

Lets use Distance formula,

$S= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Substituting the known values,

$s= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s= (37.75)(15)+\frac{1}{2}a(15)^2$

$s=566.25+\frac{1}{2}a(225)$

$s=566.25+\frac{(225a)}{2}$ -------------------------------------(3)

(D) What is the average acceleration of the car (in m/s2) during braking?

Using the formula

v=u +at

re arranging the formula we get,

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

Substituting the values

$a = \frac{0 - 35.75}{15}$

$a = \frac{- 35.75}{15}$

a= - 2.38 $m/s^2$ ----------------------------------------(4)

Now substituting 4 in 3 we get

$s=566.25+\frac{(225( - 2.38)}{2}$

$s=566.25+\frac{-535.5}{2}$

$s=536.25-267.75$

s=268.8m--------------------------------------------------------------(5)

g a stone with mass m=1.60 kg IS thrown vertically upward into the air with an initial kinetic energy of 470 J. the drag force a

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Height reached will be 28.35 m

Explanation:

Here we can use the work energy theorem to find the maximum height

As we know by work energy theorem

Work done by gravity + work done by friction = change in kinetic energy

$-mgh - F_f h = 0 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

now we will have

$-1.60(9.8)(h) - 0.900(h) = - 470$

$-16.58 h = -470$

$h = 28.35 m$

so here the height raised by the stone will be 28.35 m from the ground after projection in upward direction

A uniform solid sphere has a moment of inertia I about an axis tangent to its surface. What is the moment of inertia of this sph

arsen [322]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

given,

I is moment of inertia about an axis tangent to its surface.

moment of inertia about the center of mass

$I_{CM} = \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2$ .....(1)

now, moment of inertia about tangent

$I= \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2 + mR^2$

$I= \dfrac{7}{5}mR^2$ ...........(2)

dividing equation (1)/(2)

$\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}= \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{5}mR^2}{\dfrac{7}{5}mR^2}$

$\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}=\dfrac{2}{7}$

$I_{CM}=\dfrac{2}{7}I$

the correct answer is option E

What is the relationship between the wavelength of the peak (maximum) of the Gaussian curve and the temperature in degrees Kelvi

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}$

Explanation:

Wien's displacement law states that the radiation of the black body curve for different temperatures will give peak values at different wavelengths and this wavelength is related inversely to the temperature.

Formally the law of Wien displacement states that the black body's spectral radiation per unit of wavelength, will give peaks at the wavelength of $\lambda_{max}$ which is given by the mathematical expression.

$\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}$

Here, b is proportionality constant with value of $2.897771955...\times 10^{-3} mK$

The wavelength of the peak of the Gaussian curve is inversely related to temperature in degree kelvin.
