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

The diagram shows the flow of water through a hydroelectric power station. The falling water
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Explanation:

In the generation of energy from hydroelectric power station, the motion of water, and the turbines are paramount. The falling flowing water turns the blades of the turbine, which in-turn causes the movement of a coil within a strong magnetic field.

The motion of the coil which cuts the strong magnetic field induces current. Thus, the system generates electrical energy.

The equation that links kinetic energy (KE), mass (m) and speed (v) can be expressed as:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

What is the energy in joules of a mole of photons associated with visible light of wavelength 486 nm?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

2.46\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

The energy of a single photon is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength

For the photon in this problem,

\lambda=486 nm=4.86\cdot 10^{-7}m

So, its energy is

E_1=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4.86\cdot 10^{-7}m}=4.09\cdot 10^{-19} J

One mole of photons contains a number of photons equal to Avogadro number:

N_A = 6.022\cdot 10^{23}

So, the total energy of one mole of photons is

E=N_A E_1 = (6.022\cdot 10^{23})(4.09\cdot 10^{-19} J)=2.46\cdot 10^5 J
