Answer:

(a) a = - 201.8 m/s²

(b) s = 197.77 m

Explanation:

(a)

The acceleration can be found by using 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

a = (Vf - Vi)/t

where,

a = acceleration = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since it is finally brought to rest)

Vi = Initial Velocity = (632 mi/h)(1609.34 m/ 1 mi)(1 h/ 3600 s) = 282.53 m/s

t = time = 1.4 s

Therefore,

a = (0 m/s - 282.53 m/s)/1.4 s

<u>a = - 201.8 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

(b)

For the distance traveled, we can use 2nd equation of motion:

s = Vi t + (0.5)at²

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

Therefore,

s = (282.53 m/s)(1.4 s) + (0.5)(- 201.8 m/s²)(1.4 s)²

s = 395.54 m - 197.77 m

<u>s = 197.77 m</u>

An airplane flies with a constant speed of 800km/h. How far can it travel in 2 hours?
Nataly [62]
Because the airplane flies at 800 km/h, it will fly 800 km in 1 hour.  In order to find how far it travels in 2 hours, we multiply this number by 2.  800*2 = 1600, so the plane will travel 1600 km in 2 hours.

Which of these processes in the water cycle occur at a very high rate, to cause a hurricane?
Pavel [41]
Answer: d. evaporation and condensation

Water vapor is known as the main fuel that moves the hurricane. The evaporation will cause the water vapor to move upward carrying the latent heat of condensation. The vapor will cause condensation later. If both happen at a very high rate, the wind produced can become a hurricane.

Question 8
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

96 Joules

Explanation:

The formula for work is Fnet times displacement (F x d = w) which, in this case, 48N is the Fnet and 2m as the displacement. Then all we need to do is multiply these two and we get 96 Joules.

I could use math to help with baking and measuring how much I should use for a cake or stuff like that, they also show us how to add our money together to help us with stuff.
Math, is helpful with many jobs, stuff learned in school can help you strategize and school also makes you think outside of the box sometimes, which can help with jobs. Also if you want to do a career with fashion designing or engineering, you can use math for that too. School also gives you the ability to read.

How many excess electrons must be present on each sphere if the magnitude of the force of repulsion between them is 3.33××10âˆ
AlekseyPX

Answer:

There are 756.25 electrons present on each sphere.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force of repression between electrons, F=3.33\times 10^{-21}\ N

Let the distance between charges, d = 0.2 m

The electric force of repulsion between the electrons is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q^2}{r^2}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.33\times 10^{-21}\times (0.2)^2}{9\times 10^9}}

q=1.21\times 10^{-16}\ C

Let n are the number of excess electrons present on each sphere. It can be calculated using quantization of charges. It is given by :

q = ne

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{1.21\times 10^{-16}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n = 756.25 electrons

So, there are 756.25 electrons present on each sphere. Hence, this is the required solution.
