Answer:

-100000 N.

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and it's acceleration. The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N). The Formula of force is given as,

F = ma ........................... Equation 1

Where F = Average force exerted on the car, m = mass of the car, acceleration of the car, a = acceleration of the car.

a = (v-u)/t..................... Equation 2

Where v = Final velocity, u = Initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t............. Equation 3

Given: m = 1500 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s (brought to rest), t = 0.3 s.

Substitute into equation 3

F = 1500(0-20)/0.3

F = 1500(-20)/0.3

F = -100000 N.

Note: The negative sign is due to the fact that the force exerted on the car by the pole is equal and opposite the force of the car.

Means/end analysis involves:_________
polet [3.4K]

a. a gradual approximation to the final solution

Explanation:

Means/end analysis is a process that involves creation of an end goal to enable the identified means to apply.

In this techniques sub-goals are formed to eliminate the challenges faced in application of a selected operator.

It starts by identifying a predetermined goal which is followed by actions that will led to the goal.

A pilot wishes to flt his planne to an airport north of his current location
Ann [662]

Answer:

Time = 2758.62 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 290 m/s

Distance = 800 km to meters = 800 * 1000 = 800000

To find the time;

Time = distance/speed

Time = 800000/290

Time = 2758.62 seconds

Therefore, it will take the pilot 2758.62 seconds to reach the airport.

A person walks 2 miles every day to work, leaving her front porch at 7:00 A.M. and arriving at work at 7:30 A.M. ON the way home
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The displacement is zero miles

Explanation:

The displacement of an object that moves from point A to point B is defined as

d =B-A

Where d is the displacement of the object. The displacement does not depend on the trajectory of the object. It only depends on the linear distance between the end point and the starting point.

In this case we know that the person walks from home to work and then walks from work to home. Therefore, the total displacement is the linear distance between the point where its journey begins and the point where the route ends.

The tour begins on the front porch of your house and ends on the front porch of your house (when you return from work). If we call A to the front porch of the house then the displacement is:

d = A-A = 0

The displacement is zero miles, since the person finishes the journey just where it started (front porch)

A 2.0 µF capacitor is charged through a 50,000 ohm resistor. How long does it take for the capacitor to reach 90% of full charge
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

0.23 s

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the time constant of the circuit:

\tau=RC

where

R=50,000 \Omega is the resistance

C=2.0\mu F=2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F is the capacitance

Substituting,

\tau=(50,000 \Omega)(2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F)=0.1 s

The charge on a charging capacitor is given by

Q(t)=Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau} ) (1)

where

Q_0 is the full charge

we want to find the time t at which the capacitor reaches 90% of the full charge, so the time t at which

Q(t)=0.90 Q_0

Substituting this into eq.(1) we find

0.90 Q_0 = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})\\0.90=1-e^{-t/\tau}\\e^{-t/\tau}=1-0.90=0.10\\-\frac{t}{\tau}=ln(0.10)\\t=-\tau ln(0.10)=(0.1 s)ln(0.10)=0.23 s
