Answer:

Acceleration, $a=4.83\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the meteor, m = 521 kg

Force acting on the meteor, F = 2520 N

Let a is the acceleration of the meteor. It can be calculated using the Newton's second law of motion. According to this law the force acting on an object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration with which it is moving. Mathematically, it is given by :

$F=m\times a$

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{2520\ N}{521\ kg}$

$a=4.83\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the meteor is $4.83\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A person is initially driving a car east down a straight road. the magnitude of the instantaneous acceleration is decreasing wit

Alexxandr [17]

By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity per change of time. As time passes by, the time increases in value. So, when the acceleration is decreasing while the time is increasing, then that means that the change of velocity is also decreasing with time. So, optimally, the initial velocity and the velocity at any time are very relatively close to each other,

For what absolute value of the phase angle does a source deliver 71 % of the maximum possible power to an RLC circuit

kherson [118]

Answer: the absolute value of the phase angle is 28°

Explanation:

taking a look at expression for the instantaneous electric power in an AC circuit;

P = VI -------let this be equation 1

p is power, v is voltage and I is current;

for maximum power

P_max = V_rms × I_rms --------let this be equ 2

where P_max is the maximum power, V_rms is the rms value of voltage and I_rms is the rms value of current.

Also for average electric power in an AC circuit

P_avg = V_rms × I_rms × cos²∅ -------let this be equ 3

where P_avg is the average power and cos∅ is the power factor

now from equation 2; P_max = V_rms × I_rms

so p_max replaces V_rms × I_rms in equation 3

we now have

P_avg = P_max × cos²∅

so we substitute

expression for the given value of the average power is

P_avg = P_max × 75%

p_avg = P_max.78/100

for the expression of the average electricity in an AC circuit

P_max.78/100 = P_max × cos²∅

78/100 = cos²∅

to get the absolute value of phase angle

∅ = cos⁻¹ ( √(78/100))

∅ = cos⁻¹ ( 0.8832)

∅ = 27.969 ≈ 28°

Therefore the absolute value of the phase angle is 28°

A marble rolls 269cm across the floor with a constant speed of in 44.1cm/s.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

t = 6.09 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed, v = 44.1 cm/s

Distance, d = 269 cm

We need to find the time interval of the marble. Speed is distance per unit time.

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{269\ \text{cm}}{44.1\ \text{cm/s}}\\\\t=6.09\ s$

Hence, the time interval of the marble is 6.09 seconds.

A car is moving at 19 m/s along a curve on a horizontal plane with radius of curvature 49m.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$\mu =0.75$

Explanation:

<u>Frictional Force </u>

When the car is moving along the curve, it receives a force that tries to take it from the road. It's called centripetal force and the formula to compute it is:

$F_c=m.a_c$

The centripetal acceleration a_c is computed as

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where v is the tangent speed of the car and r is the radius of curvature. Replacing the formula into the first one

$F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$

For the car to keep on the track, the friction must have the exact same value of the centripetal force and balance the forces. The friction force is computed as

$F_r=\mu N$
