Answer:

Stopping distance, s = 200 meters

Explanation:

Mass of the car, m = 2000 kg

Force acting in the car, F = -2000 N

Initial speed of car, u = 20 m/s

Finally, it stops, v = 0          

Using second equation of motion as :      

F=ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{-2000}{2000}

a=-1\ m/s^2

Let s is the stopping distance. Now using third equation of motion as :

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{0-(20)^2}{2\times -1}

s = 200 meters

So, the stopping distance of the car is 200 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer is B- 200 m

Given:

m (mass of the car) = 2000 Kg

F = -2000 N

u(initial velocity)= 20 m/s.

v(final velocity)= 0.

Now we know that

<u>F= ma</u>

Where F is the force exerted on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

Substituting the given values

-2000 = 2000 × a

a = -1 m/s∧2

Consider the equation

<u>v=u +at</u>

where v is the initial velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

0= 20 -t

t=20 secs


s = ut +1/2(at∧2)

where s is the displacement of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s= 20 ×20 +(-1×20×20)/2

<u>s= 200 m</u>

A robot is on the surface of Mars. The angle of depression from a camera in the robot to a rock on the surface of Mars is 13.69
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The distance between the camera and the rock is 836.6 cm

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed where the hypotenuse (h) is the distance between the rock and the camera. One of the leg (l) is the distance between the camera and the surface. The angle between the hypotenuse and this leg is α = 90° - 13.69° = 76.31°. By definition:

cos α = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(76.31) = 198.0/h

h = 198.0/cos(76.31)

h = 836.6 cm

When an object oscillating in simple harmonic motion is at its maximum displacement from the equilibrium position, which of the
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

E. Zero Maximum

Explanation:

At the point of maximum displacement, the speed is zero while the restoring force is maximum. In fact:

- The restoring force is given by F=kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement - at the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so F is maximum as well

- the total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:

E=K+U=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where m is the mass of the system and v is the speed. Since E (the total energy) is constant due to the law of conservation of energy, we have that when K increases, U decreases, and viceversa. As a result, when x increases, v decreases, and viceversa. At the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so v will have its minimum value (which is zero, since the system is changing direction of motion).

Explain how air masses form and how they help redistribute energy on earth surface
Anna35 [415]
Air masses form because of all the moisture in the air, and they redistribute energy on the Earth's surface because of the Sun's uneven heating on the Earth allowes more energy to Earth.

Give an example of mass making a difference in the amount of gravitational energy. Tell how you know the gravitational energy is
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The Gravitational potential energy at large distances is directly proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them. The gravitational potential energy increases as r increases.

Examples of Gravitational Energy

A raised weight.

Water that is behind a dam.

A car that is parked at the top of a hill.

A yoyo before it is released.
