Given parameters:

Acceleration of the car = 1.6m/s

Initial speed  = 80km/hr

Final speed  = 110km/hr

Solution:

Time taken to achieve this speed = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with the time taken.

  Mathematically;

     a  = \frac{V - U}{T}

where a is the acceleration

           V is the final velocity

           U is the initial velocity

           T is the time taken

Now make the unknown time the subject of the expression;

      aT  = V - U

         T = \frac{V - U}{a}  

Convert the given acceleration to km/hr;

       1.6m/s  = 1.6 x \frac{m}{s}  x \frac{1km}{1000m} x \frac{3600s}{1hr} = 5.76km/hr

Input the parameters and solve;

       T = \frac{110 - 80}{5.76}  = 5.2hrs

The time taken is 5.2hrs

The body went 450 meters within 30 seconds of starting the movement. In what time did the first 50 meters go?
Andrew [12]

3.33 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We can find the speed of the body using the formula,

Speed = Distance traveled in meters /  time taken in seconds

= 450 m / 30 seconds

= 15 m/s

So per second the distance traveled by the body is 15 m.

So time needed to travel 50 m can be found as,

time = distance/speed

= 50 m / 15 m /s

= 3.33 s

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of 6.65×106 m/???? away from the Earth emits light with a wavelength of 5.13×10−
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is 5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m.

Explanation:

Given that,

The actual wavelength of the hydrogen atom, \lambda_a=5.13\times 10^{-7}\ m

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of, v=6.65\times 10^6\ m/s

We need to find the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom. The speed of galaxy is given by :

v=c\times \dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_a}{\lambda_a}

\lambda_o is the observed wavelength

\lambda_o=\dfrac{v\lambda_a}{c}+\lambda_a\\\\\lambda_o=\dfrac{6.65\times 10^6\times 5.13\times 10^{-7}}{3\times 10^8}+5.13\times 10^{-7}\\\\\lambda_o=5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m

So, the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is 5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

For which length of wire are the readings of resistance the most precise
levacccp [35]
The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. That is the longer the length of the wire, the higher the resistance and the shorter the length of the wire, the smaller the resistance.

The force of gravity acting<br> on a child's mass on earth is 490 newtons. what's the child's mass?
UNO [17]
F = m • a

What we know:
- Gravity: 9.8 m/s
- Force: 490 N

Equation derived:
m = F/a
m = 490/9.8
= 50 kg
