Answer:

9.934 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport = 0 mi/h

Final speed of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport = 60 mi/h

Now,

1 mi/h = 0.44704 m / s

thus,

60 mi/h = 0.44704 × 60 = 26.8224 m/s

Time = 2.70 m/s

Now,

The acceleration (a) is given as:

a=\frac{\textup{Change in speed}}{\textup{Time}}

thus,

a=\frac{26.8224 - 0 }{2.70}

or

a = 9.934 m/s²

kow [346]

Answer:

The tension in the cord is T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2}  }

Explanation:

Given:

M = mass

b = radius

R = spool of radius

The equation is:

bT=(\frac{MR^{2} }{2} )(\frac{a}{b} )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}a }{2b^{2} } (eq. 1)

The sum of forces in y:

∑Fy = Mg - T = Ma

Mg=(M+\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} }  )a\\a=\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2}  }

Replacing in eq. 1

T=\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} } (\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2} +R^{2} } )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2}  }

A flying saucer lifts the Physical Science building 10,000 ft into the air before discovering it is useless and discards the rem
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

500000000 lbft/s

Explanation:

F = Force or weight = 1000000 lbf

s = Displacement = 10000 ft

t = Time taken = 20 seconds

Work done is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow W=1000000\times 10000\\\Rightarrow W=10000000000\ lb-ft

Power is given by

P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{10000000000}{20}\\\Rightarrow P=500000000\ lbft/s

One Saucer power is 500000000 lbft/s

Violet light of wavelength 405 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.890 eV from a certain metal. What is the b
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  Ф = 2.179 eV

Explanation:

This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.

            E = K + Ф

the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation

            E = h f

we substitute

           h f = K + Ф

           Ф= hf - K

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

            Φ = \frac{hc}{\lambda } - K

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J

calculate

           Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹  -1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J

         

we reduce to eV

           Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

           Ф = 2.179 eV

A car moving west slows down from a velocity of 50 m/s to 20 m/s in 15 seconds. What is its acceleration?
velikii [3]
Vf = Vo + at

Vf = 20 m/s
Vo = 50 m/s
a = ? 
t = 15

Therefore

20 = 50 + 15a

20 - 50 = 15a

-30 = 15a

a = -30 / 15

a = -2 m/s²
