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

You are given a semiconductor resistor made from silicon with an impurity concentration of resistivity 1.00×10−3ωm. the resistor
Vlad [161]

Answer: Resistance =3.2 \Omega , Current = 1.56 A, Voltage =4.99 V

The resistance,

R=\frac {\rho l}{A}

where, \rho is resistivity, A is the area and l is the length of the resistor.

It is given that:

\rho=1.0\times10^{-3}\Omega m

Length, l=2 mm

Area, A= width \times height=1.25 mm\times 0.5 mm=0.625 mm^2

Hence, R=\frac{1.0\times10^{-3}\Omega m \times 2\times10^{-3}m}{0.625\times10^{-6}m^2}=3.2\Omega

We know, Power, P=I^2R

\Rightarrow I=\sqrt{\frac{P}{R}}

P=7.81 W

I=\sqrt{\frac {7.81 W}{3.2\Omega}}=\sqrt{2.44}A=1.56A

We know, Voltage, V=IR=1.56\times3.2=4.99 V

A bionic man running at 6.5 m/sec , east is acceleration at a uniform rate of 1.5 m/sec^2 east over a displacement of 100.0 m ea
tangare [24]
Given:
u = 6.5 m/s, initial velocity 
a = 1.5 m/s², acceleration
s = 100.0 m, displacement

Let v =  the velocity attained after the 100 m displacement.
Use the formula
v² = u² + 2as
v² = (6.5 m/s)² + 2*(1.5 m/s²)*(100 m) = 342.25 (m/s)²
v = 18.5 m/s

Answer: 18.5 m/s

Dima020 [189]
The _quamtum mechanical_ model of the atom states that an electron's exact location within an atom can not be determined, but its probable location can be estimated within a three-dimensional region called an atomic orbital and that an electron's properties within an orbital can only be described by a set of mathematical values called a quantum number.

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twic
Igoryamba

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.
