Answer:

Her average speed was 40 km/h.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average speed (a.s) is calculated as the traveled distance divided by the time it took to cover that distance:

a.s = d/t

Where:

d = traveled distance.

t = time.

In this case, the odometer reading of the car increased by 12.0 km, which means that the distance traveled is 12.0 km. The time it took the student to cover that distance is 18.0 min (18.0 min · 1 h/60 min = 0.3 h) . Then the average speed will be:

a.s = d/t

a.s = 12.0 km/ 0.3 h

a.s = 40 km/h

Her average speed was 40 km/h.

TheE-field strength is 50,000 N/C inside a parallel plate capacitor with 2.0 mmspacing. A proton is released from rest at the po
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The speed is 138852.4 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Electric field magnitude (E) and electric force magnitude (F) are related by the equation

F=Eq

with q the charge of the proton (1.61\times10^{-19} C). Because between parallel plates electric field is almost constant, electric force is constant too:

F=(50000)(1.61\times10^{-19})=8.05\times10^{-15}N

because electric force is constant, then by Newton's second law acceleration (a) is constant too, it is:

a=\frac{F}{m}

with m the mass of the proton (1.67\times10^{-27} kg):

a=\frac{8.05\times10^{-15}}{1.67\times10^{-27}}= 4.82\times10^{12}\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Now with this constant acceleration we can use the kinematic equation

v^{2}=v_{0}^{2}+2ad

with v the final speed, v_i the initial velocity that is zero (because proton starts at rest) and d is the distance between the plates, so:

v=\sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(4.82\times10^{12}\frac{m}{s^{2}})(2.0\times10^{-3}m)}

v=138852.4 \frac{m}{s}

How do i calculate acceleration? pls help! thanks :)
LenKa [72]

The acceleration is 2 mph/min

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity. It is defined as follows:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For the car in this problem, we have (taking North as positive direction):

u = 25 mph

v = 35 mph

t = 5 min

Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{35 mph-25mph}{5min}=2 mph/min

A driver, traveling at 22.0 m/s, slows down her 2.00 x 103 kg car to stop for a red light. What work is done by the friction for
Artemon [7]
Some work will be done on friction between wheels and road but it is negligible compared to work done on friction on breaks. 

W = Ek = (m*v^2)/2 = 2000*22^2/2 = 1000*22^2 = 484KJ

Because car is not changing its potential energy, there is no work to be done on while changing it which means that all goes on changing kinetic energy (energy of motion)
