Answer:

The car stops after 32.58 m.

Explanation:

t = Time taken for the car to stop

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = -6 m/s²

Time taken by the car to stop

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-20}{-6}\\\Rightarrow t=3.33\ s

Total Time taken by the car to stop is 0.5+3.33 = 3.83 s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=20\times 3.83+\frac{1}{2}\times -6\times 3.83^2\\\Rightarrow s=32.58\ m

The car stops after 32.58 m.

Distance between car and obstacle is 50-32.58 = 17.42 m

A basketball player of height 2.40 m is standing 2.60 m in front of a convex spherical mirror of radius of curvature 4.00 m. Det
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The size of the image is 1.04 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of object = 2.40 m

Distance of object = 2.60 m

Radius of curvature =4.00 m

Focal length f=\dfrac{R}{2}=\dfrac{4.00}{2}=2.00

We need to calculate the image distance

Using mirror formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{2.00}+\dfrac{1}{2.60}

\dfrac{1}{v}= \dfrac{23}{26}

v=1.13\ cm

We need to calculate the height of the image

Using formula of magnification

m=\dfrac{h'}{h}=-\dfrac{v}{u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{h'}{2.40}=-\dfrac{1.13}{-2.60}

h'=\dfrac{1.13}{2.60}\times2.40

h'=1.04\ m

Hence, The size of the image is 1.04 m

A car with a mass of 1. 2 × 103 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/second in 5 seconds. What net force
GaryK [48]

Answer:

The formula for force according to Newton's second law of motion is F=ma or force for an object to move is equal to mass times acceleration.

Acceleration or average acceleration defined as change in velocity per time.

F=ma

F=1.2x10³kg*(20m/s)(1/5s)=4.8x10³  Newtons

Explanation:

fthat's not the answer then i'm sorry

Find the frequency of a wave with a period of 0.5 seconds
strojnjashka [21]

Frequency of the wave is 2 per second

Explanation:

  • Frequency is the number of times waves pass at a particular point of time. Here, time period = 0.5 s
  • Frequency is given by the formula

f = 1/T, where f is the frequency and T is the time period

⇒ f = 1/0.5 = 2 per second

zavuch27 [327]

The base unit of length in the international system of units is the: meter (m)

<h3>Meter</h3>

The meter, ( symbol: m ) is the SI unit of length. It is derived by taking the fixed numerical value of the speed of light in vacuum c to be 299 792 458 when expressed in the unit m s-1

<h3>International system of unit ( SI ) base units</h3>

The SI base units are the standard units of measurement defined which is defined by the International System of Units (SI) for the seven base quantities of what is now known as the International System of quantities:
