An automobile of mass 2000 kg moving at 30 m/s is braked suddenly with a constant braking force of 10000 N. How far does the car
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of automobile = 2000 kg

speed = 30 m/s

Braking force = 10000 N

For, The acceleration is

Using newton's formula

F = ma

Where, f = force

m= mass

a = acceleration

Put the value of F and m into the formula

-10000 =2000\times a

Negative sing shows the braking force.

It shows the direction of force is opposite of the motion.

a = -\dfrac{10000}{2000}

a=-5\ m/s^2

For the distance,

Using third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, v= final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = stopping distance of car

Put the value in the equation

0-30^2=2\times(-5)\times s

s = 90\ m

Hence, The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

When does sea breeze occur
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven  heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day.  At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>

1000 kg of water initially at 6 m/s runs through a hydro-generator. If the water leaves the generator at velocity of 4 m/s, and
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

8.00 kJ

Explanation:

The first thing is to determine what quantities are there.

the mass of water = 1 000 kg

initial velocity, u = 6 m/s

final velocity, v = 4 m/s

the generator is operating at 100 % efficiency, so there is no energy loss.

The kinetic energy, Ek is converted to electrical energy, therefore Ek = electrical energy.

The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

Ek = 1/2 mv²

    = 1/2×(1 000)× (4)²

    = 8 000 J/s

    = 8.00 kJ  Ans
