In 1977, Kitty O’Neil drove a hydrogen peroxide–powered rocket dragster for a record time interval (3.22 s) and final speed (663

km/h) on a 402-m-long Mojave Desert track. Determine her average acceleration during the race and the acceleration while stopping (it took about 20 s to stop). What assumptions did you make?

Answer:

57.19461 m/s²

-9.20833 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{\dfrac{663}{3.6}-0}{3.22}\\\Rightarrow a=57.19461\ m/s^2

The acceleration during the race is 57.19461 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{0-\dfrac{663}{3.6}}{20}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.20833\ m/s^2

The acceleration while stopping is -9.20833 m/s²

The assumptions made here are:

The initial velocity of the dragster at the start of the race is zero

The acceleration is constant in both cases of acceleration.

The final velocity when it stops is zero

Motion is in a straight line path

Atom X contains seven protons and seven neutrons. atom Z contains seven protons and eight neutrons. which of the following state
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

Explanation:

From atom X we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 7 and from atom Z we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 8.

Since the number of protons of atom X and atom Z is the same, we have that atom X and atom Z is the same element. The difference in the number of neutrons tells us that atom X and atom Z are isotopes. Remember that an isotope is one element that has atoms with different numbers of neutrons.            

The mass number is given by:              

A = p + n

Where <em>n</em> is the number of neutrons and <em>p </em>is the number of protons.

For atom X and atom Z we have:

A_{x} = 7 + 7 = 14

A_{z} = 7 + 8 = 15

Hence, they have a different mass number.  

We know that the element with 7 protons is nitrogen. The first isotope is ^{14}_{7}N and the second isotope is ^{15}_{7}N. Both isotopes are stables (they are not radioactive).  

Therefore, the correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

I hope it helps you!

A 1560-kilogram truck moving with a speed of 28.0 m/s runs into the rear end of a 1070-kilogram stationary car. If the collision
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Δ KE =  249158.6 kJ  

Explanation:

given data

Truck mass  M =  1560 Kg

Truck initial speed, u = 28 m/s

mass of car m = 1070 Kg

initial speed of car u1 = 0 m/s

solution

first we get here final speed by using conservation of momentum  that is express as

Mu = (M+m) V     .......................1

put here  value we get

1560 × 28 = (1560 + 1070 ) V

solve it we get

final speed V = 16.60 m/s

and

Change in kinetic energy  will be here

Δ KE =   \frac{1}{2} Mu^2 - \frac{1}{2}(M+m)V^2         .................2

put here value and we get

 Δ KE = \frac{1}{2}\times 1560\times 28^2 - \frac{1}{2}\times (1560 + 1070)\times 16.60^2  

solve it we get

Δ KE =  249158.6 kJ

What are disadvantages of using fossil fuels to generate electricity? Check all that apply.
laila [671]
Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and create greenhouse gases.  While cheaper now to  burn fossil fuels, within fifty years we will run out and have to turn to other sources of energy.  Hope this helps!!!

if a Firebird travels at a velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds traveling east what was the acceleration of the Firebird
Tresset [83]

Answer:

6.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula of acceleration is:

\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2-t_1}}

where \displaystyle{\vec{a}} is acceleration, \displaystyle{\vec{v}} is velocity and \displaystyle{t} is time. \displaystyle{v_2} means final velocity. \displaystyle{v_1} means initial velocity, \displaystyle{t_2} means final time and \displaystyle{t_1} means initial time.

We are given that the Firebird travels at velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds. Therefore:

  • Our initial velocity starts at 0 mph.
  • Our final velocity is at 60 mph.
  • Our initial time is 0 second.
  • Our final time is 4 seconds.

Since it travels to the east then our vector will be positive. However, acceleration has to be in m/s^2 unit (Sl unit) so we'll have to convert from mph (miles per hours) to m/s (meters per second) first.

We know that:

  • A mile equals to 1609.344 meters.
  • An hour equals to 60 minutes which a minute equals to 60 seconds. So 60 minutes will equal to 3600 seconds.

Now we divide 1609.344 by 3600 to find a unit rate of m/s:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{1609.344}{3600} \ \, \sf{m/s}}\\\\\displaystyle{= 0.44704 \ \, \sf{m/s}}

Now multiply 0.44704 m/s by 0 and 60 to get velocity in m/s unit:

  • Initial velocity = 0 m/s
  • Final velocity = 60 * 0.44704 = 26.82 m/s

Time is already in second so no need for conversion. Substitute known information in the formula:

\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82-0}{4-0}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82}{4}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = 6.7 \ \, \sf{m/s^2}}

Therefore, the Firebird will accelerate at the rate of 6.7 m/s^2.
