The acceleration of the car is 3.3 m/s²

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Speed of the car, (we can  represent as s) = 60 km/hr = 60 × \frac{5}{18} = 16.67 m/s

Time,(we can  represent as  t) = 5 s

Acceleration, (we can represent as a) = ?

We know,

a = \frac{s}{t}

a = \frac{16.67}{5}

a = 3.334 m/s²

The acceleration of the car  is 3.3 m/s²

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Explanation:

Let suppose that forces are parallel or antiparallel to the direction of motion. Given that Joel and Jerry exert constant forces on the object, the definition of work can be simplified as:

W = F\cdot \Delta s

Where:

W - Work, measured in joules.

F - Force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

\Delta s - Travelled distance by the object, measured in meters.

During the first 10 minutes, the net work exerted on the object is zero. That is:

W_{net} = W_{Joel} - W_{Jerry}

W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s - F\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = (F-F)\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = 0\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = 0\,J

In exchange, the net work in the next 5 minutes is the work done by Joel on the object:

W_{net} = W_{Joel}

W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s

Hence, the work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Two particles each have the same mass but particle #1 has four times the charge of particle #2. Particle #1 is accelerated from
marin [14]

Answer:

 v_2 = 2*v  

Explanation:

Given:

- Mass of both charges = m

- Charge 1 = Q_1

- Speed of particle 1 = v

- Charge 2 = 4*Q_1

- Potential difference p.d = 10 V

Find:

What speed does particle #2 attain?

Solution:

- The force on a charged particle in an electric field is given by:

                                       F = Q*V / r

Where, r is the distance from one end to another.

- The Net force acting on a charge accelerates it according to the Newton's second equation of motion:

                                      F_net = m*a

- Equate the two expressions:

                                      a = Q*V / m*r

- The speed of the particle in an electric field is given by third kinetic equation of motion.

                                      v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2*a*r

Where, v_f is the final velocity,

            v_i is the initial velocity = 0

                                      v_f^2 - 0 = 2*a*r

Substitute the expression for acceleration in equation of motion:

                                       v_f^2 = 2*(Q*V / m*r)*r

                                       v_f^2 = 2*Q*V / m

                                       v_f = sqrt (2*Q*V / m)

- The velocity of first particle is v:

                                       v = sqrt (20*Q / m)

- The velocity of second particle Q = 4Q

                                       v_2 = sqrt (20*4*Q / m)

                                       v_2 = 2*sqrt (20*Q / m)

                                       v_2 = 2*v
