Answer:

Acceleration of the car will be a=8m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given that car starts from rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m/sec

And car traveled 400 m in 10 sec

So distance traveled by car s = 400 m

Time taken to compete this distance t = 10 sec

We have to find the acceleration of the car

From second equation of motion we know that s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

So 400=0\times 10+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 10^2

a=8m/sec^2

So acceleration of the car will be a=8m/sec^2

Thermopane window is constructed, using two layers of glass 4.0 mm thick, separated by an air space of 5.0 mm.
Bond [772]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to rate of thermal conduction

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}

The letter Q represents the amount of heat transferred in a time t, k is the thermal conductivity constant for the material, A is the cross sectional area of the material transferring heat, \Delta T, T is the difference in temperature between one side of the material and the other, and d is the thickness of the material.

The change made between glass and air would be determined by:

(\frac{Q}{t})_{glass} = (\frac{Q}{t})_{air}

k_{glass}(\frac{A}{L})_{glass} \Delta T_{glass} = k_{air}(A/L)_{air} \Delta T_{air}

\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{k_{glass}}{k_{air}})(\frac{L_{air}}{L_{glass}}) \Delta T_{glass}

\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{0.84}{0.0234})(\frac{5}{4}) \Delta T_{glass}

\Delta T_{air} = 44.9 \Delta T_{glass}

There are two layers of Glass and one layer of Air so the total temperature would be given as,

\Delta T = \Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air} +\Delta T_{glass}

\Delta T = 2\Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air}

20\°C = 46.9\Delta T_{glass}

\Delta T_{glass} = 0.426\°C

Finally the rate of heat flow through this windows is given as,

\Delta {Q}{t} = k_{glass}\frac{A}{L_{glass}}\Delta T_{glass}

\Delta {Q}{t} = 0.84*24*10 -3*0.426

\Delta {Q}{t} = 179W

Therefore the correct answer is D. 180W.

When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some poi
eimsori [14]

Answer: The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, but F_g  remains the same.

Explanation:

The situation is same as when a book is pushed with an increasing force on a table; When the force is low, book doesn't move, until that under a given force starts moving, and then it goes on movement even if the force decreases a bit.

The physical explanation for this, that friction force adopts any value needed to avoid to move the object, till a limit value is achieved, called static friction force, equal to the normal force times the static friction coefficient.

Once in movement, the kinetic friction coefficient replaces the static one , and  in general is lower than the static one, so the force diminishes.

In the case of the box sliding down the board, the force that tries to move the object down the board, is the component of the weight parallel to the board, that can be showed that being equal to the weight times the sinus of the angle of the board with the horizontal, as follows:

F_g = m g sin θ

When θ increases, F_g does the same, so friction force always has the same magnitude than F_g (but opposite direction) so the box doesn't move, till that θ takes a value that produces a F_g equal to static friction force.

Beyond this limit angle, F_g (remaining the same for a given angle) is greater than the kinetic friction force, and the box slides.

In the limit, when θ=90º, sin θ =1⇒ F_g = mg, so the object is in free fall.

The Moon orbits Earth in an average of p = 27.3 days at an average distance of a =384,000 kilometers. Using Newton’s version of
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mass of the earth, M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m

Distance between moon and the earth,r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}

M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

So, the mass of the earth is 6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The answer is false

Explanation:

Though the mostly used SI unit of measurement or the most popular units are the

Length,

Time and

Mass

i.e meter (m), seconds (s), kilogram (kg)

Aside all the above stated units for measurements there are other four basic units which are itemized  bellow.

they are

1. Amount of substance - mole (mole)

2. Electric current - ampere (A)

How should the student change the circuit to give negative values for current and
natulia [17]

Answer:

changing the polarity or direction of the battery changes the sign of the voltage and the current

Explanation:

The sign of current and voltage are due to established conventions.

The way that a DC circuit with negative current values ​​is by changing the polarity of the power source or by inverting the battery, this creates that the electrons move in the opposite direction

Changing the battery also changes the direction of the power difference, since the potential from positive to negative, in most cases negative is assigned a potential of zero volts

In summary, changing the polarity or direction of the battery changes the sign of the voltage and the current
