A 100-g toy car moves along a curved frictionless track. At first, the car runs along a flat horizontal segment with an initial

velocity of 2.66 m/s. The car then runs up the frictionless slope, gaining 0.186 m in altitude before leveling out to another horizontal segment at the higher level. What is the final velocity of the car if we neglect air resistance?

Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 1.85 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The initial kinetic energy of the toy car can be calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass.

v = velocity.

KE = 1/2 · 0.100 kg · (2.66 m/s)² = 0.354 J

The gain in altitude produces a gain in potential energy. This gain in potential energy is equal to the loss in kinetic energy. So let´s calculate the potential energy of the toy car after gaining an altitude of 0.186 m.

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

PE = 0.100 kg · 9.8 m/s² · 0.186 m = 0.182 J

The final kinetic energy will be: 0.354 J - 0.182 J = 0.172.

Using the equation of kinetic energy, we can obtain the velocity of the toy car after running up the slope:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

0.172 J = 1/2 · 0.100 kg · v²

2 · 0.172 J / 0.100 kg = v²

v = 1.85 m/s

The final velocity of the car is 1.85 m/s

A school custodian waxed a gymnasium floor that measured 20 feet by 20 feet. How many square feet did she have to wax?
Vadim26 [7]
We have to calculate how many square feet a school custodian has to wax and to choose the correct answer. A gymnasium floor is in the shape of the square ( 20 by 20 feet ). The area of the square is : A = L^2. For L = 20 ft, A = 20^2 = 20 * 20 = 400 ft^2. Answer: <span>D. 400 square feet.</span>

A disk with a radius of R is oriented with its normal unit vector at an angle Θ with respect to a uniform electric field. Which
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The expresion for the flux through the disk is:

Ф = E·πR^2·cos(Θ).

Explanation:

Let's sat the electric field has direction e and the normal to the disk has direction n (bold means vector quantities). So we have:

E=E·e (where E is the magnitud of the electric flied)

A=A·n

The flux for an uniform electric field and a flat surface is:

Ф=E×A

⇒ Ф = E·A·e×n = E·A·cos(angle(e,n)) = E·A·cos(Θ)

Since in this case the area is for a disk of radius R, A=\pi R^{2}

So, Ф = E·πR^2·cos(Θ)

A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon
nirvana33 [79]
It gets larger because
well let me give you an example
so today in class we looked at a lava lamp with wax inside and there was a lightbulb at the bottom.
we watched as the wax floated up because the molecules inside the wax spreads out and makes the wax less dense.
the wax floats up because (which is related to the balloon getting bigger) the wax is getting less dense and the particles get bigger which ALSO makes the wax less dense.
hope this helps and hope you can relate it to your problem! say thanks if I did help AT ALL! :)
