Answer:

We are Given:

initial velocity (u) = 0m/s

final velocity (v) = 25 m/s

time (t) = 10 seconds

acceleration (a) = a m/s/s

From the first equation of motion, we know that:

v = u + at

solving for a, we get:

a = (v-u) / t

now, plugging the given values in this equation

a = (25 - 0) / 10

a = 25 / 10

a = 2.5 m/s/s

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 2.5 m/s/s

TECHNOLOGY A Lamborghini Aventador accelerates from rest to 100 km / h in 2.9 s. The mass of the car is 1575 kg Calculate the po

DerKrebs [107]

At 100 km/hr, the car's kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (1575 kg) ( [100 km/hr] x [1000 m/km] x [1 hr/3600 sec] )²

KE = (787.5 kg) (27.78 m/s)²

KE = 607,639 Joules

In order to deliver this energy in 2.9 seconds, the engine must supply

(607,639 J / 2.9 sec) = 209,531 watts

<em>Power = 281 HP</em>

A rocket passes you at a speed of 0.85c, and you measure its length to be 35.0 m. What is its measured length when at rest?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

66.4 m

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the length contraction formula, which states that the length observed in the reference frame moving with the object (the rocket) is given by

$L=L_0 \sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}$

where

$L_0$ is the proper length (the length measured from an observer at rest)

v is the speed of the object (the rocket)

c is the speed of light

Here we know

v = 0.85c

L = 35.0 m

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the length of the rocket at rest:

$L_0 = \frac{L}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}}=\frac{35.0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.85c}{c})^2}}=66.4 m$

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m

Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s

Please help I'm stuck on this question

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

increase

decrease

Explanation:

using formula

Vt=mg/6πηr

so if m increases V increases

r is the denominator so if r increases V decreases
