A car traveling at 45 km/h starts to brake, and comes to a stop over a distance of 18 m. Calculate the acceleration

Physics

Answer:

Acceleration, a=8.68\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a car, u = 45 km/h = 12.5 m/s

Final speed, v = 0 (as they comes to rest)

Distance, d = 18 m

We need to find the acceleration of the breaking car. Using third equation of motion as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\\text{Where a is acceleration of the car}\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(12.5)^2}{18}\\\\a=8.68\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the braking car is 8.68\ m/s^2.

Find the change in kinetic energy of a 0.650 kg fish leaping to the right at 15.0 m/s that collides inelastically with a 0.950 k
yaroslaw [1]
The change in the kinetic energy refers to the work done in displacing a body, thus, the change in the kinetic energy of an object refers to the work done on the object.
The correct formula to use is:
W = Initial kinetic energy - Final kinetic energy;
Where, W = change in kinetic energy
Final kinetic energy and initial kinetic energy = 1/2 MV^2
Initial velocity = 15 m/s
Final velocity  = 13.5 m/s
Initial mass = 0.650 kg
Final mass = 0.950 kg
W = 1/2 [0.650* (15 *15)] - 1/2 [0.950 * (13.5 * 13.5)]
W = 146.25 - 173.13 = 26.88
Therefore, the change in kinetic energy is 26.88 J.
 The negative sign has to be ignored, because change in kinetic energy can not be negative.

adell [148]

This question is incomplete, the missing image uploaded along this answer below;

Answer:

a) frequency is 2.381 Hz

b) the angular frequency/speed is 14.96 rad/s

c) the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.5199 T

Explanation:

Given that;

cross sectional Area A = 0.018 m²

Number of turns N = 200

from the diagram. maximum time T = 0.42 sec

a) the frequency f of the generator in hertz

frequency = 1 / T

we substitute

frequency = 1 / 0.42 = 2.381 Hz

Therefore, frequency is 2.381 Hz

b)  the angular frequency in rad/s

angular speed ω = 2πf

we substitute

ω = 2π × 2.381

ω = 14.96 rad/s

Therefore, the angular frequency/speed is 14.96 rad/s

c) the magnitude of the magnetic field.

to determine the magnitude of the magnetic field, we use the following expression;

e = NBAω

from the diagram, e = 28.0 V

so we substitute

28.0 V = 200 × B × 0.018 × 14.96

28 = 53.856B

B = 28 / 53.856

B = 0.5199 T

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.5199 T

A car hits another and the two bumpers lock together during the collision. is this an elastic or inelastic collision?
valkas [14]
Inelastic.
If it was elastic, they'd bump right off each other. But since they've been locked, or stuck together, this is inelastic.
