The mass of a sports car is 1000 kg. The shape of the car is such that the aerodynamic drag coefficient is 0.260 and the frontal

area is 2.10 m2. Neglecting all other sources of friction, calculate the initial acceleration of the car, if it has been traveling at 90 km/h and is now shifted into neutral and is allowed to coast. (Take the density of air to be 1.295 kg/m3.)

Answer:

The initial acceleration is 0,221 m/s^2.

Explanation:

$Fcar = Fairfriction\\m*a = 0.5*A*c*density*v^2\\a = 0.5*A*c*density*v^2 / 1000 kg = 0.5*2.10m^2*0.260*1.295kg/m^3*(25 m/s)^2 / 1000 kg = 0,221 m/s^2$

Answer:

$-0.221m/s^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car=m=1000 kg

Drag coefficient, $C_d=0.260$

Frontal area,A= $2.1 m^2$

Speed, v=90 km/h= $90\times \frac{5}{18}=25 m/s$

$1km/h=\frac{5}{18} m/s$

Density of air, $\rho=1.295 kg/m^3$

We know that

Drag force, $f_d=-\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 AC_d$

$a=\frac{f_d}{m}$

Using the formula

$a=\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\times (1.295)\times (25)^2\times 2.1\times 0.26}{1000}=-0.221m/s^2$

Three point charges are arranged along the x-axis. Charge q1 = +3.00 uC is at the origin, and charge q2= -5.00 uC is at x= 0.200

artcher [175]

We have all the charges for q1, q2, and q3.
Since k = 8.988x10^2, and N=m^2/c^2

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)

F(2on1) = k |q1 q2| / r(the distance between the two)^2
k^ | 3x10^-6 x -5 x 10^-6 | / (.2m)^2
F(2on1) = 3.37 N

Since F1 is 7N,

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)

Since it wil be going in the negative direction,
-7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
F(3on1) = -10.37N

F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| / r(the distance between the two)^2
r^2 x F(3on1) = k |q1 q3|
r = sqrt of k |q1 q3| / F(3on1)
= .144 m (distance between q1 and q3)
0 - .144m

So it's located in -.144m

A van is traveling with an initial velocity of 12 m/s. The driver takes a time of 45 seconds to speed up to a velocity of 20 m/s

Rufina [12.5K]

Initial velocity=u=12m/s
Final velocity=v=20m/s
Time=t=45s

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{20-12}{45}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{8}{45}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=0.1m/s^2$

Now

Distance=s

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow v^2-u^2=2as$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow (20)^2-12^2=2(0.1)s$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 400-144=0.2s$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 256=0.2s$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow s=\dfrac{256}{0.2}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow s=1280m$

On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.254 kg ) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.367 kg ), which is ini

irinina [24]

Answer:

$v_a=0.8176 m/s$

$\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

Being $m_a$ and $m_b$ the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is

$M_1=m_av_a+m_bv_b$

Since b is initially at rest

$M_1=m_av_a$

After the collision and being $v'_a$ and $v'_b$ the respective velocities, the total momentum is

$M_2=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b$

Both momentums are equal, thus

$m_av_a=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b$

Solving for $v_a$

$v_a=\frac{m_av'_a+m_bv'_b}{m_a}$

$v_a=\frac{0.254Kg\times (-0.123 m/s)+0.367Kg (0.651m/s)}{0.254Kg}$

$v_a=0.8176 m/s$

The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)

$K_1=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2$

$K_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.254Kg) (0.8176m/s)^2=0.0849 J$

The final kinetic energy is

$K_2=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a'^2+\frac{1}{2}m_bv_b'^2$

$K_2=\frac{1}{2}0.254Kg (-0.123m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}0.367Kg (0.651m/s)^2=0.07969 J$

The change of kinetic energy is

$\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J$

Find the y-component of this

Alborosie

Answer:

-0.0789 m

Explanation:

Recall that the y-component comes associated with the sin(18.4) through the following trigonometric relationship:

y = 0.250 sin(-18.4) ≈ -0.0789 m

Notice it is negative since it is below the x-axis.
