A car travelling at a constant speed of 70km/h passes a stationary police car. The police car immediately goes on the chase acce

lerating uniformly to reach a speed of 85km/h in 10s and continues at that speed until it overtakes the other car. Calculate the time taken for the police car to overtake the car?

Answer:

18.24 seconds

Explanation:

First you convert the km/h to m/s, 70km/h=(175/9)m/s,85km/h=(425/18)m/s.

You know it took 10 seconds for the police to reach 85 km/h. Calculate the distance that the car is ahead of the police (175/9)*10=1750/9m. Then by divide 1750/9 with 425/18, you will get the value 8.24. Add the 10 seconds with the 8.24 you will get 18.24 sec which is the total time.

A force gives a 5.0 kg object an acceleration of 2.0 m/s 2. The same force would give a 20 kg object an acceleration of _____. 0
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

m = 5 kg

a = 2 m/s²

to find the force that accelerates the 4 kg object @ 2 m/s²

F = ma = 5 kg x 2 m/s² = 10 N

To find what acceleration 10 N would give a 20 kg object

a = F/m = 10 N/20 kg = 0.5 m/s

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! MT TIME FOR MY TEST IS ALMOST OVER!!!
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the natural length of the spring = L

so

100 = k(40 - L)       (1)

200 = k(60 - L)       (2)

(2)/(1):   2 = (60 - L)/(40 - L)

60 - L = 2(40 - L)

60 - L = 80 - 2L

2L - L = 80 - 60

L = 20

Sub it into (1):

100 = k(40 - 20) = 20k

k = 100/20 = 5 N/in

Now

X = k(30 - L) = 5(30 - 20) = 50 N

Two 4.0 kg masses are 1.0 m apart on a frictionless table. Each has 1.0 μC of charge.What is the magnitude of the electric force
xeze [42]

Coulomb's law:

  Force = (<span>8.99×10⁹ N m² / C²<span>) · (charge₁) · (charge₂) / distance²

            = (</span></span><span>8.99×10⁹ N m² / C²<span>) (1 x 10⁻⁶ C) (1 x 10⁻⁶ C)  / (1.0 m)²

            = (8.99×10⁹ x 1×10⁻¹² / 1.0)  N

            =      8.99×10⁻³  N

            =        0.00899 N repelling.

Notice that there's a lot of information in the question that you don't need.
It's only there to distract you, confuse you, and see whether you know
what to ignore.

-- '4.0 kg masses';  don't need it. 
   Mass has no effect on the electric force between them.

-- 'frictionless table';  don't need it.
   Friction has no effect on the force between them,
only on how they move in response to the force.
