A truck accelerates From being stopped to 18 m/s in 5.5 seconds. A bus accelerates from being stopped to 24 m/s in 6.0 seconds.

Which vehicle has a higher acceleration
Physics
1 answer:
Mars2501 [29]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The bus

Explanation:

a = (v-u)/t  

Where

a = acceleration

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

For truck to get its acceleration,

a = (18-0)/5.5 = 3.27 ms⁻²

For bus to get its acceleration,

a = (24-0)/6 = 4 ms⁻²

As 4 > 3.27 bus has a greater acceleration.

Answer:

I'm going to say b. gasoline is a chemical and when it combusts, it causes heat (thermal energy) and when the piston rotates because of the thermal expansion, you get mechanical force.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Yes the body will receive a dangerous shock in both cases.

Explanation:

Different parts of the body has different resistance. skin has the high resistance as compared to other organs of the body.

Dry skin has high resistance than wet skin this is because water is relatively good conductor of electricity, it adds parallel path to the current flow and hence reduces skin resistance.

Dry hands body has approximately 500 kΩ resistance and if 120 V electricity supply current received will be:

I = V/R= 120/ 500*10^3

I= 0.24 mA

Even the current seems is much lower than the safe zone but this is the case in case of DC voltage in case of AC voltage the body will receive a shock this is because the skin pass more current when the voltage is changing i.e. AC.

Similarly for wet hands body resistance is 1 kΩ. so the current through the body seems to be:

I = 120 / 1000

I = 12 mA

The current is higher than safe zone so the body will receive a dangerous shock.

A fairground ride consists of a large vertical drum that spins so
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

v = 3.84 m/s

Explanation:

In order for the riders to stay pinned against the inside of the drum the frictional force on them must be equal to the centripetal force:

Centripetal\ Force = Frictional\ Force\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu R = \mu W\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu mg\\\\\frac{v^2}{r} = \mu g\\\\v = \sqrt{\mu gr}

where,

v = minimum speed = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = radius = 10 m

μ = coefficient of friction = 0.15

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{(0.15)(9.81\ m/s^2)(10\ m)}

<u>v = 3.84 m/s</u>
