Determine the stopping distances for a car with an initial speed of 88 km/h and human reaction time of 2.0 s for the following a

seropon [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 88 km/h = 24.44 m/s

Reaction time, t = 2 s

Distance covered during this time, $d=24.44\times 2=48.88\ m$

(a) Acceleration, $a=-4\ m/s^2$

We need to find the stopping distance, v = 0. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -4}$

s = 74.66 meters

s = 74.66 + 48.88 = 123.54 meters

(b) Acceleration, $a=-8\ m/s^2$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -8}$

s = 37.33 meters

s = 37.33 + 48.88 = 86.21 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

The battery of a flashlight develops 3 V, and the current through the bulb is 200 mA.What power is absorbed by the bulb?

Verizon [17]

Answer : The power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W

Explanation :

As we know that,

Power = Voltage × Current

Given:

Voltage = 3 V

Current = 200 mA = 0.200 A

Conversion used : (1 mA = 0.001 A)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Power = Voltage × Current

Power = 3V × 0.200 A

Power = 0.600 W

Thus, the power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W

Illustrate a body of mass 5.0kg pulled by horizontal force F . if the body accelerates 2.0ms² and experience a frictional force

Natasha2012 [34]

Explanation:

a. Net force is mass times acceleration (Newton's second law).

∑F = ma

∑F = (5.0 kg) (2.0 m/s²)

∑F = 10 N

b. The net force is the sum of the individual forces.

10 N = F − 5 N

F = 15 N

c. Friction force here is mgμ.

mgμ = 5 N

(5.0 kg) (10 m/s) μ = 5 N

μ = 0.1

a typical cmall flashlight contains two batteries each having na emf of 2.0 v connected in series with a bulb havin ga resistanc

Helen [10]

Answer:

P = 0.25 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The emf of the battry, E = 2 V

The resistance of a bulb, R = 16 ohms

We need to find the power delivered to the bulb. We know that, the formula for the power delivered is given by :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\P=\dfrac{2^2}{16}\\\\=0.25\ W$

So, 0.25 W power is delivered to the bulb.

A 65.0-kg runner has a speed of 5.20 m/s at one instant dur- ing a long-distance event. (a) What is the runner’s kinetic energy

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

a)KE=878.8 J

b)W=2636.4 J

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 65 kg

Initial speed ,u = 5.2 m/s

We know that kinetic energy KE is given as follows

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2$

m=mass

u=velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 5.2^2\ J$

KE=878.8 J

We know that

Work done by all forces = Change in the kinetic energy

The final velocity , v= 2 u = 2 x 5.2 m/s

v= 10.4 m/s

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 10.4^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 5.2^2\ J$

W=2636.4 J

a)KE=878.8 J

b)W=2636.4 J
