Given:-

  • Distance covered by the particle (s) = 20 m
  • Time taken (t) = 4 seconds

To Find: Speed of it.

We know,

v = s/t

where,

  • v = Speed,
  • s = Distance &
  • t = Time taken.

Putting the values,

v = (20 m)/(4 s)

→ v = 5 m/s (Ans.)

A(n) 12500 lb railroad car traveling at 7.8 ft/s couples with a stationary car of 7430 lb. The acceleration of gravity is 32 ft/
navik [9.2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. That is, the final momentum must be the same final momentum. And in each state, the momentum will be the sum of the product between the mass and the velocity of each object, then

\text{Initial Momentum} = \text{Final Momentum}

m_1u_1 +m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_{1,2}= Mass of each object

u_{1,2}= Initial velocity of each object

v_{1,2}= Final velocity of each object

When they position the final velocities of the bodies it is the same and the car is stationary then,

m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Rearranging to find the final velocity

v_f = \frac{m_2u_2}{ (m_1+m_2)}

v_f = \frac{ 12500*7.8}{ 12500+7430}

v_f = 4.8921ft/s

The expression for the impulse received by the first car is

I = m_1 (v-u)

I = \frac{W}{g} (v-u)

Replacing,

I = \frac{12500}{32.2}(4.89-7.8)

I = -1129.65lb\cdot s

The negative sign show the opposite direction.

A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su
Marta_Voda [28]

The net force acting on the object perpendicular to the table is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg = 0

where mg is the weight of the object. Then

F[normal] = mg = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 147 N

The maximum magnitude of static friction is then

0.40 F[normal] = 58.8 N

which means the applied 40 N force is not enough to make the object start to move. So the object has zero acceleration and does not move.

A house is losing heat at a rate of 1600 kJ/h per °C temperature difference between the indoor and the outdoor temperatures. Exp
Setler [38]

Answer:

1600 kJ/h per K, 888.88 kJ/h per °F and 888.88kJ/h per R

Explanation:

We make use of relations between temperature scales with respect to degrees celsius:

1 K= 1^{\circ}C+273\\1^{\circ}F= (1^{\circ}C*1.8)+32\\1 R= (1^{\circ}C*1.8)+491.67

This means that a change in one degree celsius is equivalent to a change of one kelvin, while for a degree farenheit and rankine this is equivalent to a change of 1.8 on both scales.

So:

\frac{Q}{\Delta T(K)}=\frac{Q}{\Delta T(^\circ C)}=1600 \frac{kJ}{h} per K\\\frac{Q}{\Delta T(^\circ F)}=\frac{Q}{\Delta T(^\circ C*1.8)}=888.88 \frac{kJ}{h} per ^\circ F\\\frac{Q}{\Delta T(R)}=\frac{Q}{\Delta T(^\circ C*1.8)}=888.88 \frac{kJ}{h} per R

aksik [14]

Answer:

An object appears white when it reflects all wavelengths and black when it absorbs them all. Red, green and blue are the additive primary colors of the color spectrum. Combining balanced amounts of red, green and blue lights also produces pure white.
