A passenger bus is travelling 28.0 m/s to the right when the driver applies the brakes. The bus stops in 5.00 s. What is the acc

Answer:  - 5.60 m/s^2

Explanation:

Speed of passenger bus = 28.0 m/s to the right  

Time took for the bus stops = 5.00 s.

What is the acceleration of the bus as it comes to a stop = x

Step 1:

Calculate the change in velocity  

d = v2 (Final velocity)  - v1 (Initial Velocity)

d= 0 – 28

d= -28m/s  

Acceleration=  Change in velocity / time taken

Acceleration = -28 m/s / 5

Acceleration = - 5.60 m/s^2 to the right

Note: Do not forget the units, otherwise they make cost you marks!

Change in velocity = d(v)
d(v) = v2 - v1 where v1 = initial speed, v2 = final speed
v1 = 28.0 m/s to the right
v2 = 0.00 m/s
d(v) = (0 - 28)m/s = -28 m/s to the right

Change in time = d(t)
d(t) = t2 - t1 where t1 = initial elapsed time, t2 = final elapsed time
t1 = 0.00 s
t2 = 5.00 s
d(t) = (5.00 - 0.00)s = 5.00s

Average acceleration = d(v) / d(t)
(-28.0 m/s) / (5.00 s)
(-28.0 m)/s * 1 / (5.00 s) = -5.60 m/s² to the right

An apple falls from a tree and 2.5 seconds later hits the ground. How fast is the apple falling when it hits the ground? Neglect
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<h2>9.8 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

<h2>Since the ball rises for 2.5 s, the time to fall is 2.5 s. The acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 everywhere, even when the velocity is zero at the top of the path. Although the velocity is zero at the top, it is changing at the rate of 9.8 m/s² downward.</h2>

Two electrons travel towards each other at 0.2 c parallel to the laboratory x-axis. What is the relative velocity of one electro
Leya [2.2K]

1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c

To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:

u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}

where

u is the velocity of one electron

v is the velocity of the second electron

c is the speed of light

In this problem:

u = 0.2c

v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)

Substituting, we find:

u'=\frac{0.2c+0.2c}{1+\frac{(0.2c)(0.2c)}{c^2}}=\frac{0.4c}{1+0.04}=0.38c

2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c

In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are

+0.2c

-0.2c

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 8g of water by 20oC?
Elden [556K]
The following information are given in the question:
Mass, M = 8 g
Temperature, T = 20 degree Celsius
Specific heat of water [this value is a constant] C  = 1 c/gc
Heat, Q = ?
The formula for calculating the amount of heat required is given below:
Q = MCT = 8 * 1 * 20 = 160
Therefore, Q = 160 cal.
