750 kg car zooms away from a red light with an acceleration of 7.8 m/s squared . What is the average net force in Newtons that t

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 750 × 7.8

We have the final answer as

An atom of uranium 238 emits an alpha particle (an atom of He) and recoils with a velocity of 1.895 * 10^ 5 m/sec . With velocit

lora16 [44]

<u>Answer:</u> The velocity of released alpha particle is $1.127\times 10^7m/s$

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to law of conservation of momentum, momentum can neither be created nor be destroyed until and unless, an external force is applied.

For a system:

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

where,

$m_1\text{ and }v_1$ = Initial mass and velocity

$m_2\text{ and }v_2$ = Final mass and velocity

We are given:

$m_1=238u\\v_1=1.895\times 10^{5}m/s\\m_2=4u\text{ (Mass of }\alpha \text{ -particle)}\\v_2=?m/s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$238\times 1.895\times 10^5=4\times v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{238\times 1.895\times 10^5}{4}=1.127\times 10^7m/s$

Hence, the velocity of released alpha particle is $1.127\times 10^7m/s$

A ship travels with velocity given by 12, with current flowing in the direction given by 11 with respect to some co-ordinate axe

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

$v_x = 11.78 m/s$

Explanation:

Velocity of the ship is given as

$v = 12 units$

the direction of the velocity of the ship is making an angle of 11 degree with the current

so we will have two components of the velocity

1) along the direction of the current

2) perpendicular to the direction of the current

so here we know that the component of the ship velocity along the direction of the current is given as

$v_x = v cos\theta$

$v_x = 12 cos11$

$v_x = 11.78 m/s$

You leave on a 450 miles trip in order to attend a meeting that will start 10.8 hours after you begin your trip. Along the way y

Lorico [155]

Answer:2.6 h

Explanation:

Given

Total Trip distance=450 miles

Meeting starts after 10.8 hours

safe Fastest speed is 55 mi/h

so if he drives all the to the meeting with max speed then it takes $=\frac{450}{55}=8.181 h$

and total allowable time is 10.8

Therefore longest time he can spend over dinner is $10.8-8.181 \approx 2.6 hours$
