How to find acceleration?

2 answers:

4 0

Acceleration = Change in Velocity / time

a = (v - u) / t

Where v = final velocity in m/s
u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time in seconds.
a = acceleration in m/s²

A proper record of the changes in velocity with the corresponding time would help find the acceleration.

Answer:

Acceleration is given by the formula :

a = (v - u)/t

a is the acceleration , u is the initial velocity , v is the final velocity , t is the time in seconds

erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is 71 m/s.

The bullet of mass m moving with a velocity u has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed v when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force F on the bullet and the thickness of the block is x then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

$W=Fx$

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

$W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)$

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v₁.

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

$F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)$

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v₁.

$\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s$

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s

An electric toy with a resistance of 2.50 Ω is operated by a 3.00-V battery. (a) What current does the toy draw? (b) Assuming th

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

a) The current is i = 1.2 A

b) The charge is Q = 17280 C

c) The energy is E = 43200 J

Explanation:

a) The current is given by the ohm's law wich is:

i = V/R = 3/2.5 = 1.2 A

b) Since the charge is steady we can use the following equation to find the charge amount in that time:

i = Q/t

Q = t*i

Where t is in seconds, so we have 4h * 3600 = 14400 s

Q = 1.2*14400 = 17280 C

c) The energy is the power delivered to the toy multiplied by the time:

P = 1.2*2.5 = 3 W

E = P*t = 3*14400 = 43200 J

In a particular case of an object in front of a spherical mirror with a focal length of +12.0 cm, the magnification is +4.00.(a)

salantis [7]

Answer:

9 cm

-36 cm

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 12

m = Magnification = 4

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 4=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-4u$

Lens equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-4u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{4u}\\\Rightarrow u=9\ cm$

Object distance is 9 cm

$v=-4\times 9=-36\ cm$

Image distance is -36 cm (other side of object)
