A) Acceleration: $a_1 = 0.75 m/s^2, a_2 = 0, a_3 = -1.57 m/s^2$

B) The total displacement is 209.5 m north

C) The average velocity is 8.06 m/s north

Explanation:

A)

Acceleration is defined as:

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

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Here we have:

- In the first segment,

u = 8 m/s north

v = 11 m/s north

t = 4 s

So the acceleration is

$a_1 = \frac{11-8}{4}=0.75 m/s^2$ (north)

- In the second segment, Stan drives at a constant velocity: so the final velocity is equal to the initial velocity,

u = v

Therefore, the acceleration is zero: $a_2 = 0$

- In the third segment,

u = 11 m/s (north)

v = 0 (he comes to a stop)

t = 7 s

So the acceleration is

$a=\frac{0-11}{7}=-1.57 m/s^2$

And the negative sign means the acceleration is south, opposite to the direction of motion.

B)

In a uniformly accelerated motion, the displacement can be calculated as:

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

where

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

- For the first segment, we have

$u = 0\\a = 0.75 m/s^2\\t=4 s$

So the displacement is

$s_1 = 0+\frac{1}{2}(0.75)(4)^2=6 m$

- For the second segment, we have

$u = 11 m/s\\a = 0\\t=15 s$

So the displacement is

$s_2 = (11)(15)+0=165 m$

- For the third segment, we have

$u = 11\\a = -1.57 m/s^2\\t=7 s$

So the displacement is

$s_3 = (11)(7)+\frac{1}{2}(-1.57)(7)^2=38.5 m$

So the total displacement is:

s = 6 m + 165 m + 38.5 m = 209.5 m

In the north direction (positive direction)

C)

The average velocity is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the total displacement

t is the total time

Here we have:

d = 209.5 m

t = 26 s

Therefore, the average velocity is

$v=\frac{209.5}{26}=8.06 m/s$ (north)

A 50.6 g ball of copper has a net charge of 1.6 µc. what fraction of the copper's electrons have been removed? (each copper atom

Fynjy0 [20]

First figure out how many atoms you have with Avogadro's number. Since there are 63.5 grams/mol and you have 50.6 grams, you have (50.6/63.5)6.022E23=4.7986E23 atoms. Since there are 29 protons per atom, there are also 29 electrons per atom, so you should have a total of
29*4.7986E23=1.3916E25 electrons.
Since there is a positive charge you know some of these electrons are missing. How many are missing can be found by dividing the charge you have by the charge on the electron: 1.6E-6/1.6022E-19 = 9.98627E12 electrons are missing.
Now take the ratio of what is missing to what there should be:
9.98627E12/1.3916E25 = 7.1760873E-13

Given the vector A with components Ax = 2.00, Ay = 6.00, the vector B with components Bx = 2.00, By = 22.00, and the vector D =

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°</em>

Explanation:

<u>Operations With Vectors</u>

Given two vectors in rectangular components:

$\vec a=(ax,ay)\ ,\ \vec b=(bx,by)$

The sum of the vectors is:

$\vec a+\vec b=(ax+bx,ay+by)$

The difference between the vectors is:

$\vec a-\vec b=(ax-bx,ay-by)$

The magnitude of $\vec a$ is:

$|\vec a|=\sqrt{ax^2+ay^2}$

The angle $\vec a$ makes with the horizontal positive direction is:

$\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{ay}{ax}\\$

The question provides the vectors:

$\vec a=(2,6)$

$\vec b=(2,22)$

$\vec d=\vec a-\vec b$

Calculate:

$\vec d=(2,6)-(2,22)=(0,-16)$

The magnitude of $\vec d$ is:

$|\vec d|=\sqrt{0^2+(-16)^2}=\sqrt{0+256}=16$

The angle is calculated by:

$\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{-16}{0}$

The division cannot be calculated because the denominator is zero. We need to estimate the correct angle by looking at the components of the vector. Since the x-coordinate is zero and the y-coordinate is negative, the vector points downwards (south), thus the angle must be -90° or 270° if the range goes from 0° to 360°.

The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°

Light from distant galaxies most likely shows a ...red shift, indicating that the universe is expandingblue shift, indicating th

ELEN [110]

Answer:

red shift, indicating that the universe is expanding

Explanation:

Doppler effect occurs when a source of a wave (e.g. light, or sound waves) moves relative to an observer; as a result of this relative motion, the wavelength of the wave appears lengthened/shortened to the observer. Two situations can occur:

- The source of the wave is moving towards the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes shorter. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the blue-end of the spectrum (blue-shift)

- The source of the wave is moving away from the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes longer. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the red-end of the spectrum (red-shift)

In our universe, we observe a red-shift for all the distant galaxies: this means that these galaxies are moving away from us, so this is an indication that the universe is expanding.

if a Firebird travels at a velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds traveling east what was the acceleration of the Firebird

Tresset [83]

Answer:

6.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula of acceleration is:

$\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2-t_1}}$

where $\displaystyle{\vec{a}}$ is acceleration, $\displaystyle{\vec{v}}$ is velocity and $\displaystyle{t}$ is time. $\displaystyle{v_2}$ means final velocity. $\displaystyle{v_1}$ means initial velocity, $\displaystyle{t_2}$ means final time and $\displaystyle{t_1}$ means initial time.

We are given that the Firebird travels at velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds. Therefore:

Our initial velocity starts at 0 mph.
Our final velocity is at 60 mph.
Our initial time is 0 second.
Our final time is 4 seconds.

Since it travels to the east then our vector will be positive. However, acceleration has to be in m/s^2 unit (Sl unit) so we'll have to convert from mph (miles per hours) to m/s (meters per second) first.

We know that:

A mile equals to 1609.344 meters.
An hour equals to 60 minutes which a minute equals to 60 seconds. So 60 minutes will equal to 3600 seconds.

Now we divide 1609.344 by 3600 to find a unit rate of m/s:

$\displaystyle{\dfrac{1609.344}{3600} \ \, \sf{m/s}}\\\\\displaystyle{= 0.44704 \ \, \sf{m/s}}$

Now multiply 0.44704 m/s by 0 and 60 to get velocity in m/s unit:

Initial velocity = 0 m/s
Final velocity = 60 * 0.44704 = 26.82 m/s

Time is already in second so no need for conversion. Substitute known information in the formula:

$\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82-0}{4-0}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82}{4}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = 6.7 \ \, \sf{m/s^2}}$

Therefore, the Firebird will accelerate at the rate of 6.7 m/s^2.
