The car's average acceleration would be 1.25m/s^2 or 1.25meters/second/second. That looks to be the fourth one you've listed.

Answer:

Its acceleration is 1.25 meters/second2 ( $1.25 m/s^2$ )

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

In this problem, the initial velocity of the car is zero: u=0. The final velocity is v=5 m/s, and the time taken is t=4 s, so the acceleration is

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{5 m/s-0}{4 s}=1.25 m/s^2$

1.A virtual image is formed 20.5 cm from a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of 31.5 cm.

Mashutka [201]

The position of the object is = -68cm

The magnification of the mirror= 0.3

<h3>Calculation of object distance</h3>

The image distance = 20.5cm

The focal length= R/2 = 31.5/2= 15.75

The object distance= ?

Using the lens formula,1/f = 1/v-1/u

1/u = 1/v- 1/f

1/u = 1/20.5 - 1/15.75

1/u = 0.0489- 0.0635

1/u = -0.0146

u = -68cm

The magnification of the mirror is image size/object size

= 20.5cm/-68cm

= 0.3

makvit [3.9K]

Answers:

(a) $2509.98 m/s$

(b) 397042.215 m

(c) 1917.76 m/s

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, please remember to write the whole question :) However, part (a) is written below:

(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is $700 km$ and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface is $a_{g}=4.5 m/s^{2}$

Knowing this, let's begin:

a) In this part we need to find the escape speed $V_{e}$ on the asteroid:

$V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ is the universal gravitational constant

$M$ is the mass of the asteroid

$R=700 km=700(10)^{3} m$ is the radius of the asteroid

On the other hand we know the gravitational acceleration is $a_{g}=4.5 m/s^{2}$ , which is given by:

$a_{g}=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}$ (2)

Isolating $GM$ :

$GM=a_{g}R^{2}$ (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

$V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2a_{g}R^{2}}{R}}=\sqrt{2a_{g}R}$ (4)

$V_{e}=\sqrt{2(4.5 m/s^{2})(700(10)^{3} m)}$ (5)

$V_{e}=2509.98 m/s$ (6) This is the escape velocity

b) In this part we will use the Conservation of mechanical energy principle:

$E_{o}=E_{f}$ (7)

Being:

$E_{o}=K_{o}+U_{o}=\frac{1}{2}m V^{2} - \frac{GMm}{R}$ (8)

$E_{f}=K_{f}+U_{f}=0 - \frac{GMm}{R+h}$ (9)

Where:

$E_{o}$ is the initial mechanical energy

$E_{f}$ is the final mechanical energy

$K_{o}$ is the initial kinetic energy

$K_{f}=0$ is the final kinetic energy

$U_{o}$ is the initial gravitational potential energy

$U_{f}$ is the final gravitational potential energy

$m$ is the mass of the object

$V=1510 m/s$ is the radial speed of the object

$h$ is the distance above the surface of the object

Then:

$\frac{1}{2}m V^{2} - \frac{GMm}{R}=- \frac{GMm}{R+h}$ (10)

Isolating $h$ :

$h=\frac{2 a_{g} R^{2}}{2a_{g}R-V^{2}}-R$ (11)

$h=\frac{2 (4.5 m/s^{2}) (700(10)^{3} m)^{2}}{2(4.5 m/s^{2})(700(10)^{3} m)-(1510 m/s)^{2}}-700(10)^{3} m$ (11)

$h=397042.215 m$ (12) This is the distance above the asteroid's surface

c) We will use the Conservation of mechanical energy principle again, but now the condition is that the object is dropped at a distance $h=981.8 km=981.8(10)^{3} m$ . This means that at the begining the object only has gravitational potential energy and then it has kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy:

$\frac{-GMm}{R+h}=\frac{-GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$ (13)

Isolating $V$ :

$V=\sqrt{2a_{g} R(1-\frac{R}{R+h})}$ (14)

$V=\sqrt{2(4.5 m/s^{2}) (700(10)^{3} m)(1-\frac{700(10)^{3} m}{700(10)^{3} m+981.8(10)^{3} m})}$ (15)

Finally:

$V=1917.76 m/s$
