A car travels in a straight line for 4.4 h at a constant speed of 81 km/h. What is its acceleration?

The speed and length of time don't matter.

Constant speed in a straight line is the DEFINITION of ZERO acceleration.

Answer:

$a = 0m/s^2$

Explanation:

we can use the equation:

$v_f = a(t) + v_i$

And plug in our numbers:

$81km/h = am/s^2(4.4h) + 81hm/h$

$0 = am/s^2(4.4h)$

$0 = am/s^2$

$a = 0m/s^2$

Because the speed was constant, there was no difference between the final and initial velocities, meaning that once you do the math you see there is no acceleration affecting the speed.

What are the odds of nonsmokers developing cardiovascular disease when compared to smokers?

77julia77 [94]

The probability ("odds") is smaller for nonsmokers when compared
to smokers.

If we had as much hard, reliable, repeatable, scientific evidence linking
cardiovascular disease with visits to the Empire State Building as we have
linking it with smoking, the Empire State Building would have been torn down
50 years ago.

A 20 m high filled water tank develops a 0.50 cm hole in the vertical wall near the base. With what speed does the water shoot o

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The speed of the water shoot out of the hole is 20 m/s.

(d) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 20 m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula Bernoulli equation

$\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho gh_{1}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho gh_{2}$

Where,

v₁= initial velocity

v₂=final velocity

h₁=total height

h₂=height of the hole from the base

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}^2=2g(h_{2}-h_{1})$

$v_{1}=\sqrt{2g(h_{2}-h_{1})}$

$v_{1}=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times(20-0.005)}$

$v_{1}=19.7\ m/s= approximate\ 20\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of the water shoot out of the hole is 20 m/s.

What is the mass of a dog running at a speed of 5 m/s and a momentum of 120.5 kgm/s?

viktelen [127]

Given:

Momentum of the dog (p) = 120.5 kg m/s

Speed of the dog (v) = 5 m/s

To Find:

Mass of the dog (m)

Concept/Theory:

$\underline{\underline{ \bf{\Large{Momentum}}}}$

It is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body.
It is measured as the product of mass of the body and it's speed.
It is represented by p.
It's SI unit is kg m/s
Mathematical Representation/Equation of Momentum: $\boxed{ \bf{p = mv}}$

Answer:

By using equation of momentum, we get:

$\rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{p}{v} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{120.5}{5} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = 24.1 \: kg$

$\therefore$ Mass of the dog (m) = 24.1 kg
