(64 meter/day) x (1 kilometer / 1,000 meters) x (1 day / 24 hours) =

       (64 x 1 x 1) / (1,000 x 24)         (kilometer/hour)  = 

                     1/375  km/hour

                (0.002667 km/hour, rounded)

                 2-2/3 meters/hour

                 (8-ft 9-inches) per hour

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

While breaking initial velocity u = 62.5 mph

= 62.5 x 1760 x 3 / (60 x 60 )  ft /s

= 91.66 ft / s

distance trvelled s = 150 ft

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 91.66²  - 2 a x 150

a = - 28 ft / s²

b ) While accelerating initial velocity u = 0

distance travelled s = .24 mi

time = 19.3 s

s = ut + 1/2 at²

s is distance travelled in time t with acceleration a ,

.24 = 0 + 1/2 a x 19.3²

a = .001288 mi/s²

= 2.06 m /s²

c )

If distance travelled s = .25 mi

final velocity v = ? a = .001288 mi / s²

v² = u² + 2as

= 0 + 2 x .001288 x .25

= .000644

v = .025 mi / s

= .0025 x 60 x 60 mi / h

= 91.35 mph .

d ) initial velocity u = 59 mph

= 86.53 ft / s

final velocity = 0

acceleration = - 28 ft /s²

v = u - at

0 = 86.53 - 28 t

t = 3 sec approx .

If 270 watts of power is used in 42 seconds, how much work was done<br>​
navik [9.2K]

Answer: W = 11340J

Explanation:

Hey there! I will give the following steps, if you have any questions feel free to ask me in the comments below.

So this is the Formula: Power = Work / Time.

<u>Step 1:</u><em><u> Find the Formula</u></em>

P = W / T

<em><u> </u></em>

<u>Step 2: </u><u><em>Make W the subject of the equation.</em></u>

W = PT

<u>Step 3:</u><u> </u><u><em>Given.</em></u>

P = 270 Watts, T = 42 seconds

<u>Step 4:</u><u><em> Substitute these values into equation 2 .</em></u>

W = 270(42)

<u>Step 5:</u><u> </u><u><em>Simplify.</em></u>

W = 11340J

The amount of work done was 11340.

~I hope I helped you! :)~

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:0.43

Explanation:

Given

mass of car m=2400 kg

Speed of car u=14 m/s

Distance traveled before coming to halt s=23.2 m

Let \muthe coefficient of friction

Maximum deceleration road can provide during motion is

a=\mu g

using v^2-u^2=2 as

0-14^2=2\cdot (-\mu g)\cdot 23.2

\mu =\frac{196}{454.72}

\mu =0.431
