The brakes are applied to a moving van, causing it to uniformly slow down. While slowing, it moves a distance of 40.0 m in 7.70

s to a final velocity of 1.80 m/s, at which point the brakes are released. (a) What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied? m/s (b) What was its acceleration (in m/s^2) while the brakes were applied? (Assume the initial direction of motion is the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s^2

Answer:

a)8.59 m/s

b)-0.8818 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Given the van moved 40 m in 7.70 seconds to a final velocity of 1.80 m/s

Apply the equation for motion;

d=(\frac{V_i+V_f}{2} )*t

where

t=time the object moved

d=displacement of the object

Vi=initial velocity

Vf=final velocity

Given

t=7.70s

Vf=1.80 m/s

d=40m

Vi=?

Substitute values in equation

40=(\frac{V_i+1.80}{2} )7.70\\\\\\40=\frac{7.70V_i+13.86}{2} \\\\80=7.70V_i+13.86\\\\80-13.86=7.70V_i\\\\66.14=7.70V_i\\\\\frac{66.14}{7.70} =\frac{7.70V_i}{7.70} \\8.59=V_i

b)Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity

Apply the formula

Vf=Vi+at

where;

Vf=final velocity of object

Vi=Initial velocity of the object

a=acceleration

t=time the object moved

Substitute values in equation

Given;

Vf=1.80 m/s

Vi=8.59 m/s

t=7.70 s

a=?

Vf=Vi+at

1.80=8.59+7.70a

1.80-8.59=7.70a

-6.79=7.70a

-6.79/7.70=7.70a/7.70

-0.8818=a

The van was slowing down.

A 15.0-mW laser puts out a narrow beam 2.00 mm indiameter.
UkoKoshka [18]

Explanation:

It is known that formula for energy per unit area per unit time is as follows.

             S = \frac{P}{A}

                = \frac{P}{\pi \times r^{2}} = \frac{4P}{\pi d^{2}}

      c \epsilon_{o} E^{2} = \frac{4P}{\pi d^{2}}

              E = \sqrt{\frac{4P}{\pi d^{2} c \epsilon_{o}}}        

Now, putting the values we will calculate the electric field as follows.

            E = \sqrt{\frac{4P}{\pi d^{2} c \epsilon_{o}}}

               = \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 15 \times 10^{-3} W}{3.14 \times (2mm \times \frac{1m}{1000 mm})^{2} \times 3 \times 10^{8} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}}  

               = 1341.03 V/m

Now, we will calculate the average magnetic field as follows.

                   B = \frac{E}{c}

                      = \frac{1341.03 V/m}{3 \times 10^{8} m/s}

                      = 4.47 \times 10^{-6} T

                      = 4.47 \mu T

Thus, we can conclude that the average (rms) value of the magnetic field is 4.47 \mu T.

What is the velocity of the car, in meters per second, just after it hits a 135-kg deer initially running at 10.5 m/s in the sam
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

V = 27.46 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the deer(m) = 135 Kg

speed of the deer (u) = 10.5 m/s

assuming,

mass of the car(M) = 900 Kg

initial velocity of car (v) = 30 m/s

using conservation of momentum

m u + M v = (M + m )V

V is the velocity of the car as deer is on the car

135 x 10.5 + 900 x 30 = (900 + 135 ) V

28417.5 = 1035 V

V = 27.46 m/s

so, the velocity of car is equal to V = 27.46 m/s

you find out that it takes 2 sec. for the swing to complete one cycle. what is the swing`s period and frequency?
Gnesinka [82]

The time it takes "to complete one cycle" is a perfect definition for <em>period</em>.
So the <em>2 sec</em> that you measured is the swing's period.

Frequency is just   1/period  (the 'reciprocal' of the period).
For this swing, the frequency is   1/(2sec)  =  0.5 per second = <em>0.5 Hz</em>.

( "Hertz" means "per second")
