Answer:

<em>Before stopping, the van travels 42.5 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

The van slows down uniformly from v0=17 m/s to vf=0 m/s in t=5 s. The acceleration can be calculated by solving [1] for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

\displaystyle a=\frac{0-17}{5}=-3.4\ m/s^2

The distance covered is:

\displaystyle x=17\cdot 5+\frac{(-3.4)\cdot 5^2}{2}

\displaystyle x=85-42.5=42.5

Before stopping, the van travels 42.5 m

A cosmic ray proton moving toward Earth at 5.00 x 107 m/s experiences a magnetic force of 1.7 x 10-16 N. What is the strength of
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

the strength of the magnetic field is 3 x 10⁻⁵ T

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the cosmic ray, v = 5 x 10⁷ m/s

force experienced by the ray, f = 1.7 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

angle between the ray's velocity and the magnetic field, θ = 45⁰

The strength of the magnetic field is calculated as;

F = qvB \ sin(\theta)\\\\B = \frac{F}{qv\times sin(\theta)} \\\\where;\\\\B \ is \ the \ strength \ of \ the \ magnetic \ field\\\\q \ is \ the \ charge \ of \ the \ cosmic \ ray \ proton = 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \ C\\\\B = \frac{1.7\times 10^{-16}}{(1.602 \times 10^{-19})\times (5\times 10^7) \times sin \ (45)} \\\\B = 3 \times 10^{-5} \ T

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 3 x 10⁻⁵ T

A 2.50 gram rectangular object has measurements of 22.0 mm, 13.5 mm, and 12.5 mm. what is the object's density in units of g/ml?
Zinaida [17]
G/mL is equivalent to g/cm^3, so we first convert the dimensions into cm:
2.20 cm, 1.35 cm, and 1.25 cm
Then the total volume is: V = lwh = 3.7125 cm^3
To get the density, we divide mass by volume: 2.50 g / 3.7125 cm^3 = 0.6734 g/cm^3 = 0.6734 g/mL
