Your teacher's car can go from rest to 25 m/s (≈55 mph) in 10 seconds. The car's velocity changes at a uniform rate. Below is a

quantitative velocity vs time graph that represents the motion of the car. Determine the acceleration of the car.

If the speed of the car changes uniformly, as shown in the graph, this means that the acceleration is constant. As the acceleration is the derivative of the speed

a = \frac{\delta v}{\delta t}

Then, this means that the acceleration is the slope of the equation of the line shown in the graph.

Then, we find the acceleration using the following equation:

a = \frac{v_f- v_i}{t_2-t_1}\\\\a = \frac{25-0}{10}\\\\a = 2.5\ m/s ^ 2

Then, the acceleration of the car is 2.5\ m/s^2

Which of these properties of an object best quantifies its inertia: velocity, acceleration, volume, mass, or temperature?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

Inertia is essentially an object's tendency to stay in motion or at rest unless it is forced to do otherwise (pun intended). It only makes sense to me that mass would best quantify an object's inertia, because an object with more mass would be harder to move and/or stop from moving.

A reconnaissance plane flies 404 km awayfrom its base at 730 m/s, then flies back to its base at 1095 m/s.What is it’s average s
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The average speed of the plane is 875.999 m/s.

Average speed can be defined as the ratio of total distanced travelled by the object to that of total time taken to cover the distance.

Mathematically, Average speed = Av = \frac{Total Distance}{Total Time}

According to the question,

Speed of the plane away from its base V₁ = 730 m/s

Speed of the plane when it flies back V₂ = 1095 m/s

Plane flies the distance D = 404 km

Total Distance covered by the plane S = 404 * 2 km

(because the distance travelled by the plane when going away from the base and then flying back to the base is same)

Therefore S = 808 km = 808 ˣ 10³ m

Time taken by the plane while flying away from the base T₁ = \frac{D}{V1}

T₁ =  \frac{404000}{730} = 553.425 s

Time taken by the plane while flying back to the base T₂ = \frac{D}{V2}

T₂ =  \frac{404000}{1095} = 368.949s

Total Time T = T₁ + T₂ = 922.375 s

Therefore  Av = \frac{Total Distance}{Total Time}

= \frac{D}{T} m/s

=  \frac{808000}{922.375}  m/s

= 875.999 m/s

The average speed of the plane will be 875.999 m/s.

In a simple machine, the energy input is 120 J. If the efficiency of the machine is 80%, calculate the energy output
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

<h2>96 Joules</h2>

Explanation:

We know that efficiency is the ratio of output power by input power. i.e. Efficiency describes the quality of machine or system how good it is.

Solution,

Energy input of system = 120 J

Efficiency = 80% = \frac{80}{100}  = 0.8

Now,

According to definition,

Efficiency = \frac{output}{input}

Cross multiplication:

output \:  =  \: 0.8 \times 120

Calculate the product

output \:  = 96 \: joules

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
