In 1898, the world land speed record was set by Gaston Chasseloup-Laubat driving a car named Jeantaud. His speed was 39.24 mph (

63.15 km/h), much lower than the limit on our interstate highways today. Repeat the calculations of Example 2.7 (assume the car accelerates for 6 miles to get up to speed, is then timed for a one-mile distance, and accelerates for another 6 miles to come to a stop) for the Jeantaud car. (Assume the car moves in the +x direction.)
Find the acceleration for the first 6 miles.

Answer:

the acceleration a^{\to} = (0.0159 \ \ m/s^2 )i

Explanation:

Given that:

the initial speed v₁ = 0 m/s i.e starting from rest ; since the car accelerates at a distance Δx = 6 miles in order to teach that final speed v₂ of 63.15 km/h.

So;  the acceleration for the first 6 miles can be calculated by using the formula:

v₂² = v₁² + 2a (Δx)

Making acceleration  a the subject of the formula in the above expression ; we have:

v₂² - v₁² = 2a (Δx)

a = \dfrac{v_2^2 - v_1^2 }{2 \Delta x}

a = \dfrac{(63.15 \ km/s)^2 - (0 \ m/s)^2 }{2 (6 \ miles)}

a = \dfrac{(17.54 \ m/s)^2 - (0 \ m/s)^2 }{2 (9.65*10^3 \ m)}

a =0.0159 \ m/s^2

Thus;

Assume the car moves in the +x direction;

the acceleration a^{\to} = (0.0159 \ \ m/s^2 )i

Which device converts electrical energy into kinetic energy?
andriy [413]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Electric motor</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Energy</u></em> is the ability to do work. According to the law of conservation of energy,<em><u> energy can not be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another</u></em>.
  • Changing energy from one form to another is done by devices we call <em><u>transducers. These are elements that convert energy from one form to another.</u></em>
  • In this case, electrical motor is an example of a transducer that converts electrical energy to kinetic energy. <em><u>Electrical energy is supplied to a the motor which converts it to rotational energy or mechanical energy then to kinetic energy.</u></em>

A 1400-kg car traveling east at 25m/s collides with a 1800-kg car traveling at a speed of 20m/s in a direction that makes angle
julia-pushkina [17]
M1*V1 + M2*V2 = M1*V + M2*V.
1400*25 + 1800*20[180+40]=1400*V+1800*V.
Divide both sides by 100:
14*25 + 18*20[220o] = 14V + 18V.
350 + 360[220o] = 32V.
350 - 276-231i = 32V.
74 - 231i = 32V.
242.6[-72.2o] = 32V.
V = 7.6m/s[-72.2o]=7.6m/s[72o] S. of E.

When a calcium atom forms an ion, it loses two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the calcium ion? a) −2 b) −1 c)+ 1 d)
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Option D

+2

Explanation:

We know that Calcium has 20 electrons and 20 protons. It lost two electrons, it has 20 protons, but only 18 electrons. This makes calcium a positive ion with a charge of +2.

Karen claps her hand and hears the echo from
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

89 m

Explanation:

Applying

v = 2d/t................... Equation 1

Where v = velocity of sound in air, d = distance of the wall from Karen, t = time taken to hear the echo.

make d the subject of equation 1

d = vt/2..................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: v = 343 m/s, t = 0.519 s

Substitute these values into equation 2

d = (343×0.519)/2

d = 89.01 m.

d ≈ 89 m
