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.

The kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy changes during its movement from ground to the top height.

<h3>What happens to kinetic and potential energy while motion?</h3>

When the ball moves upward, its gravitational potential energy is increases and kinetic energy begins to decrease but when the ball falls towards the earth, its gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. When the ball collides with the ground, the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy.

A particularly beautiful note reaching your ear from a rare stradivarius violin has a wavelength of 39.1 cm. the room is slightl
raketka [301]
The wavelength of the note is \lambda = 39.1 cm = 0.391 m. Since the speed of the wave is the speed of sound, c=344 m/s, the frequency of the note is
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}=879.8 Hz

Then, we know that the frequency of a vibrating string is related to the tension T of the string and its length L by
f= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }
where \mu=0.550 g/m = 0.550 \cdot 10^{-3} kg/m is the linear mass density of our string.
Using the value of the tension, T=160 N, and the frequency we just found, we can calculate the length of the string, L:
L= \frac{1}{2f}  \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} } =0.31 m

An object is moving in a circle. If the radius of the object is doubled, and the period remains constant, the magnitude of the v
Anton [14]

Answer:

Twice

Explanation:

From the formula for velocity in a circle

V= 2πr/T

Where V is velocity

r is raduis

T is period

We see that as r increases V increases so if r is doubled V becomes doubled

If a 60-watt bulb is used to light a room, how much current is flowing through the bulb given that the voltage is 120 volts?
Pavel [41]
 Well, if I understand correctly, I think it'd be 60, because 60+60= 120, but I may be wrong. It's not my best subject, but why not try to help even though I suck lol.
