11. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration ? Is this acceleration higher than that of

a car which accelerates from 0 to 40 m/s in 8 seconds?​
Physics

6 0

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

the acceleration of the cyclist is

\frac{10 - 0}{3}  = 3.333333....

approximately 3.33 m/s^2

the acceleration of the car is

\frac{40 - 0 }{8}  = 5.0

5.0 m/s^2

5.0 > 3.33 \\ so \:  the \: answer  \: is \: no

A heat engine does 200 j of work per cycle while exhausting 600 j of heat to the cold reservoir. what is the engine's thermal ef
AveGali [126]
The thermal efficiency of an engine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work

In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}= \frac{200 J}{600 J}=0.33 = 33 \%

How do I do this physics problem about potential energy and kinetic energy?
larisa86 [58]

Ok i apologise for the messy working but I'll try and explain my attempt at logic

Also note i ignore any air resistance for this.

First i wrote the two equations I'd most likely need for this situation, the kinetic energy equation and the potential energy equation.

Because the energy right at the top of the swing motion is equal to the energy right in the "bottom" of the swing's motion (due to conservation of energy), i made the kinetic energy equal to the potential energy as indicated by Ek = Ep.

I also noted the "initial" and "final" height of the swing with hi and hf respectively.

So initially looking at this i thought, what the heck, there's no mass. Then i figured that using the conservation of energy law i could take the mass value from the Ek equation and use it in the Ep equation. So what i did was take the Ek equation and rearranged it for m as you can hopefully see. Then i substituted the rearranged Ek equation into the Ep equation.

So then the equation reads something like Ep = (rearranged Ek equation for m) × g (which is -9.81) × change in height (hf - hi).

Then i simplify the equation a little. When i multiply both sides by v^2 i can clearly see that there is one E on each side (at that stage i don't need to clarify which type of energy it is because Ek = Ep so they're just the same anyway). So i just canceled them out and square rooted both sides.

The answer i got was that the max velocity would be 4.85m/s 3sf, assuming no losses (eg energy lost to friction).

I do hope I'm right and i suppose it's better than a blank piece of paper good luck my dude xx

What must be true about a surface in order for diffuse reflection to occur?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

carpet

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.

The structure of carpet's surface is as shown. Thus it shows large amount of diffuse reflection.

What will happen to plant height if the amount of available light is reduced due to global dimming? Which type of investigation
Lorico [155]
The plant will not grow. In fact it could have all the nutrients and all the water it needs, but without a sufficient amount of light, it could die because its leaves are meant for a certain minimum amount of light.

I'll come back and see if you have posted the question you wanted and edit my answer.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

ω = 380π rad/s

Explanation:

The formula for the angular frequency is the oscillation frequency f (hertz) multiplied by 2π

ω = 2πf

then

ω = 2π(190)

ω = 380π rad/s
