Answer:

It takes the car 2.5 s to slow down to a final speed of 10.0 m/s.

The car has moved 31.25 m during the braking period.

Explanation:

Assuming that motion is a straight line and knowing that the accelaration is a constant (-2.0 m/s²), these equations apply:

v(t) = v0 +a*t

X(t) = X0 + v0*t + 1/2*a*t²

where:

v(t) = velocity at time "t".

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time.

X(t) = position at time "t"

X0 = initial position

Given data:

v0 = 15.0 m/s

a = 2.0 m/s²

v(t) = 10.0 m/s

We need to find "t" at which the speed is 10 m/s.

From the equation of velocity above:

v(t) = v0 + a*t

solving the equation for "t"

v(t) - v0 = a*t

(v(t) - v0)/a = t

(10 m/s - 15 m/s) / (-2m/s²) = t

2.5 s = t

Now that we know how long it takes to slow down to a speed of 10 m/s, we can calculate how far has the car moved in that period using the equation for position at a given time:

X(t) = X0 + v0*t + 1/2*a*t²

Since we only want to know how many meters has the car moved during 2.5 s with an acceleration of -2m/s², we can make X0(initial position) = 0.

Then:

X(2.5 s) = 0 m + 15 m/s * 2.5 s + 1/2 * (-2m/s²)* (2.5 s)²

X(2.5 s) = 37.5 m + (-6.25 m) = 31.25 m

ou have designed and constructed a solenoid to produce a magnetic field equal in magnitude to that of the Earth (5.0 10-5 T). If
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

I = 0.0256 A

Explanation:

Given,

Magnetic field, B = 5 x 10⁻⁵ T

Number of turns, N = 450

length = 29 cm

Current,I = ?

Using formula of magnetic field due to solenoid

B = \mu_0 NI

I = \dfrac{B}{\mu_0N}

I = \dfrac{5\times 10^{-5}\times 0.29}{450\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}}

I = 0.0256 A

Hence, the current obtained is equal to 0.0256 A.

irina [24]

Complete Question:

The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35 % of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have studied the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters' tendons stretch 43 mm , while nonathletes' stretch only 32 mm . The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, 31 {\rm {N}/{mm}}. What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathlethes?

Answer:

\triangle E = 12.79 J

Explanation:

Sprinters' tendons stretch, x_s = 43 mm = 0.043 m

Non athletes' stretch, x_n = 32 mm = 0.032 m

Spring constant for the two groups, k = 31 N/mm = 3100 N/m

Maximum Energy stored in the sprinter, E_s = 0.5kx_s^2

Maximum energy stored in the non athletes, E_m = 0.5kx_n^2

Difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the non-athlethes:

\triangle E = E_s - E_n = 0.5k(x_s^2 - x_n^2)\\\triangle E = 0.5*3100* (0.043^2 - 0.032^2)\\\triangle E = 0.5*31000*0.000825\\\triangle E = 12.79 J
