A truck decelerates at a rate of 2 m/s2. If it starts with a velocity of 15 m/s, how long will it take to stop?

1 answer:

7 0

Use the formula Vf = Vo + at

Stop => Vf = 0

=> 0 = Vo + at => Vo = -at => t =- Vo / a

Vo = 15 m/s

a = - 2 m/s^2

=> t = - 15 m/s / ( - 2 m/s^2) = 7.5 s

And you can find the distance travled by using the equation: d = Vo*t + at^2 / 2

=> d = 15 m/s * 7.5 s - 2m/s^2 * (7.5s)^2 / 2 = 56.25 m

Answer: 7.5s (and 56.25m)

Jason and Guy are throwing watermelons straight up from the ground. (They’re making fruit salad.) Jason throws his watermelon at

NISA [10]

Answer:2t

Explanation:

Given

Jason throwing watermelon at speed v and it spend t time in air

time to reach max height

$v_f=u_i+at'$

0=v-gt'

$t'=\frac{v}{g}$

and time to reach bottom is also t'

t=2t'

$t=2\frac{v}{g}$

For guy throws his watermelon at speed 2v

So total time in air will be

$t''=2\frac{2v}{g}$

$t''=4\frac{v}{g}$

t''=2t

Which of the following statements is true about magnetic fields.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from strong electrical currents coming from the sun

Explanation:

The Earth's magnetic field called the “magnetosphere” – protects our atmosphere from the “solar wind.” That's the constant stream of charged particles flowing outward from the sun. When the magnetosphere shields the Earth from these solar particles, they get funneled toward the polar regions of our atmosphere.

The Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping mechanism is for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field, which are ripped off by solar winds.

When the input voltages of a difference amplifier are 5.1 v and 6.4 v, the output voltage is 64.7 v. The inputs are changed to 4

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) Differential mode gain = 48

b) Common mode gain = 0.4

c) CMRR = 120

Explanation:

The output of a difference amplifier is related to the input by the equation:

$V_{0} = A_{1} V_{1} + A_{2} V_{2} \\$

When V₁ = 6.4 V, V₂ = 5.1 V and V₀ = 64.7 V, the equation becomes

6.4 A₁ + 5.1 A₂ = 64.7.....................(1)

When V₁ = 5.6 V, V₂ = 4.9 V and V₀ = 35.7 V, the equation becomes

5.6 A₁ + 4.9 A₂ = 35.7.....................(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 5.6 and (2) by 6.4

35.84 A₁ + 28.56A₂ = 362.32.....................(3)

35.84 A₁ + 31.36 A₂ = 228.48....................................(4)

Subtract equation (3) from (4)

2.8 A₂ = -133.84

A₂ = -133.84/2.8

A₂ = -47.8

Put the value of A₂ into equation (1)

6.4 A₁ + 5.1 (-47.8) = 64.7

6.4 A₁ = 64.7 + 243.78

A₁ = 308.48/6.4

A₁ = 48.2

a) Common mode gain = A₁ + A₂ = 48.2 + (-47.8)

Common mode gain = 0.4

b) Differential mode gain = (A₁ -A₂)/2

Differential mode gain = (48.2 - (-47.8))/2

Differential mode gain = 96/2

Differential mode gain = 48

c) Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)

$CMRR = |\frac{Differential Mode Gain}{Common Mode Gain} |$

$CMRR = |\frac{48}{0.4} |\\CMRR = 120$
