The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

A minivan is tested for acceleration and braking. In the street-start acceleration test, the elapsed time is 8.6 s for a velocity increase from 10 km/h to 100 km/h. In the braking test, the distance traveled is 44 m during braking to a stop from 100 km/h. Assume constant values of acceleration and deceleration. Determine  

(a) the acceleration during the street-start test,  

(b) the deceleration during the braking test.

Answer:

(a) 37500 km/h²

(b) 113636.36 km/h²

Explanation:

part (a)

Because it is given that we can assume constant acceleration therefore we can use the following equation of motion:

<em>v = u + (a)(t) </em>

where <em>v </em>is final velocity, <em>u </em>is initial velocity, <em>a </em>is acceleration and <em>t </em>is time change

Given in the question:

v = 100km/h

u = 10 km/h

t = 8.6 sec (changing to hours)

t = 0.0024 hours (round off to 4 decimal places)

100 = 10 + (a x 0.0024)

Rearranging the equation to find value of a

a = (100 – 10) / 0.0024

a = 37500 km/h² (Answer)

part (b)

Now we can use the following equation to find deceleration

<em>2(a)(s) = v² – u²</em>

Where a is acceleration, s is distance travelled, v is final velocity and u is initial velocity

Given in the question

s = 44 m

changing to km

s = 0.044 km

v = 0 km/h (because it stops)

u = 100 km/h

2(a)(0.044) = (0)² – (100)²

0.088(a) = 0 - 10000  

a = - 10000/0.088

a = - 113636.36 km/h2  

The negative sign in the answer shows that it is deceleration

Therefore deceleration = 113636.36 km/h² (Answer)

iren2701 [21]

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of  his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured  values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s

How speed and position affect the energy possess by an object?​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

more speed means that an object has more energy, now if an object's place is something such as a hill, the potential energy will increase meaning an object will have more speed and acceleration. this is because you have the earth's gravity helping you out when the object goes downhill, giving it the higher potential energy

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

Explanation:

From hf=eV

h= Plank's constant = 6.6×10^-34JS

f= frequency of the electromagnetic wave = 5.2×10^4 Hz

e= electronic charge= 1.6×10^-19 C

V= voltage

V= hf/e

V= 6.6×10^-34JS × 5.2×10^4 Hz/ 1.6×10^-19 C

V= 2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

Therefore the voltage created is 2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV
