Answer :

(a) The acceleration of the car is, $-2m/s^2$

(b) The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

Explanation :

By the 1st equation of motion,

$v=u+at$ ...........(1)

where,

v = final velocity = 5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration of the car = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation 1, we get:

$5m/s=25m/s+a\times (10s)$

$a=-2m/s^2$

The acceleration of the car is, $-2m/s^2$

By the 2nd equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ ...........(2)

where,

s = distance covered by the car = ?

u = initial velocity = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration of the car = $-2m/s^2$

Now put all the given values in the above equation 2, we get:

$s=(25m/s)\times (10s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-2m/s^2)\times (10s)^2$

By solving the term, we get:

$s=150m$

The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

How high a hill can a car coast up (engine disengaged) if work done by friction is negligible and

aev [14]

Answer:

h= 46.66 m

Explanation:

Given that

Initial speed of the car ,u = 110 km/h

We know that

1 km/h= 0.277 m/s

u= 30.55 m/s

lets height gain by car is h.

The final speed of the car will be zero at height h.

v²=u²- 2 g h

v= 0 m/s

0²=30.55²- 2 x 10 x h ( g = 10 m/s²)

h= 46.66 m

At exactly 3:14PM, the velocity of a dog running in a park points toward a group of flowers. Which of the following best describ

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Options A, B, and C are all possible.

Explanation:

We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?

If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.

If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.

If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.

A 0.500-kg glider, attached to the end of an ideal spring with force constant undergoes shm with an amplitude of 0.040 m. comput

Nikitich [7]

There is a missing data in the text of the problem (found on internet):
"with force constant<span> k=</span>450N/<span>m"

a) the maximum speed of the glider

The total mechanical energy of the mass-spring system is constant, and it is given by the sum of the potential and kinetic energy:
</span> $E=U+K= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
<span>where
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the glider with respect to the spring equilibrium position
m is the glider mass
v is the speed of the glider at position x

When the glider crosses the equilibrium position, x=0 and the potential energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy and the speed of the glider is maximum:
</span> $E=K_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$
<span>Vice-versa, when the glider is at maximum displacement (x=A, where A is the amplitude of the motion), its speed is zero (v=0), therefore the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy:
</span> $E=U_{max}= \frac{1}{2}k A^2$
<span>
Since the mechanical energy must be conserved, we can write
</span> $\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 = \frac{1}{2}kA^2$
<span>from which we find the maximum speed
</span> $v_{max}= \sqrt{ \frac{kA^2}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{(450 N/m)(0.040 m)^2}{0.500 kg} }= 1.2 m/s$
<span>
b) </span><span> the </span>speed<span> of the </span>glider<span> when it is at x= -0.015</span><span>m

We can still use the conservation of energy to solve this part.
The total mechanical energy is:
</span> $E=K_{max}= \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J$
<span>
At x=-0.015 m, there are both potential and kinetic energy. The potential energy is
</span> $U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(450 N/m)(-0.015 m)^2=0.05 J$
<span>And since
</span> $E=U+K$
<span>we find the kinetic energy when the glider is at this position:
</span> $K=E-U=0.36 J - 0.05 J = 0.31 J$
<span>And then we can find the corresponding velocity:
</span> $K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.31 J}{0.500 kg} }=1.11 m/s$
<span>
c) </span><span>the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the glider;
</span>
For a simple harmonic motion, the magnitude of the maximum acceleration is given by
$a_{max} = \omega^2 A$
where $\omega= \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }$ is the angular frequency, and A is the amplitude.
The angular frequency is:
$\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{450 N/m}{0.500 kg} }=30 rad/s$
and so the maximum acceleration is
$a_{max} = \omega^2 A = (30 rad/s)^2 (0.040 m) =36 m/s^2$

d) <span>the </span>acceleration<span> of the </span>glider<span> at x= -0.015</span><span>m

For a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is given by
</span> $a(t)=\omega^2 x(t)$
<span>where x(t) is the position of the mass-spring system. If we substitute x(t)=-0.015 m, we find
</span> $a=(30 rad/s)^2 (-0.015 m)=-13.5 m/s^2$
<span>
e) </span><span>the total mechanical energy of the glider at any point in its motion. </span><span>

we have already calculated it at point b), and it is given by
</span> $E=K_{max}= \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J$
