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

mario62 [17]

The answer is:

d) the sound originates from a vibration.

The explanation:

The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker. The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium. As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound, thus forming the sound wave.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

9.3\cdot 10^{37}

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy produced (E) per unit of time (t):

P= \frac{E}{t}

This means that the energy produced in the Sun each second (1 s), given the power P=4.0\cdot 10^{26}W, is

E=Pt=(4.0\cdot 10^{26}W)(1s )=4.0\cdot 10^{26} J

Each p-p chain reaction produces an amount of energy of

E_1 = 4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J

in order to get the total number of p-p chain reactions per second, we need to divide the total energy produced per second by the energy produced by each reaction:

n=\frac{E}{E_1}=\frac{4.0\cdot 10^{26} J}{4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J}=9.3\cdot 10^{37}

hoa [83]

Answer:

Q = +1.4 pC

Explanation:

  • The capacitance of any capacitor, by definition, is as follows:
  •  C = \frac{Q}{V} (1)
  • Applying Gauss'Law and the definition of electric potential, it can be showed that the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor can be expressed as follows:
  •  C = \frac{\epsilon_{r}*\epsilon_{0} * A}{d} (2)
  • Where εr is the dielectric constant of the material that fills the space between the plates, A is the area of one of the plates, and d, is the separation between them.
  • Replacing by the givens in (2) we can find the value of the capacitance C, as follows:

       C = \frac{\ 4.4*8.85e-12C2/N*m2*7.1e-9m2}{1.5e-8m} = 18.4e-12 F = 18.4 pF

  • Replacing the values of C and V in (1), we can solve for Q, as follows:

       Q = C*V = 18.4e-12 F* 75.9e-3 V = 1.4e-12 C = +1.4 pC

  • As the outer surface is at a higher potential that the inside surface, the charge on it must be positive, and is equal to +1.4 pC.
