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

Answer:

F = 1500 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of all forces must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

F = 1000*1.5

F = 1500 [N]

What fraction of the total energy of a SHO is kinetic when the displacement is one third the amplitude
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The fraction of kinetic energy to the total energy is \frac{K}{T}=\frac{8}{9}.

Explanation:

displacement is one third of the amplitude.

Let the amplitude is A.

x= A/3

The kinetic energy of the body executing SHM is

K = 0.5 mw^2(A^2 - x^2)\\\\K = 0.5 m w^2 \left ( A^2 -\frac{A^2}{9} \right )\\\\K = 0.5 mw^2\times \frac{8A^2}{9}......(1)

The total energy is

T =0.5 mw^2A^2 ..... (2)

Divide (1) by (2)

\frac{K}{T}=\frac{8}{9}

Because velocity is speed with direction. In this scenario, the speed has not changed, but the direction did.
