Compare the acceleration of a motorcycle that accelerates from 80 km/h to 90 km/h

Physics
1 answer:
ololo11 [35]3 years ago
8 0

Speed is a magnitude, a scalar quantity (i.e. 65 mph)  

Velocity is a magnitude and direction, a vector quantity (i.e. 65 mph north)  

Acceleration is the change in velocity over a unit of time  

(1) Different rates of acceleration.  

Given for the motorcycle:  

Vi = 80 km/h  

Vf = 90 km/h  

Given for the bicycle  

Vi = 0.0 km/h  

Vf = 10 km/h  

*IF* the time unit is the same (let's say 10 seconds), the actual value is the SAME for each, because the change in velocity was the same for each. 10 km/h over 10 seconds.  

a = [ Vf - Vi ] / t  

a = [ (90 km/h) - (80 km/h) ] / (360 h)  

a = [ 10 km/h ] / (360 h)  

a = 0.023 km/h^2  

See, same thing, bicycle or motorcycle, change is 10 km/h, over the same time period gives the same value.  

Incidentally, you should usually use meters per second (m/s) and seconds (s) not hours and kilometers.

A 300 g glass thermometer initially at 23 ◦C is put into 236 cm3 of hot water at 87 ◦C. Find the final temperature of the thermo
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

74^{\circ} C

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of glass,m=300 g

T_1=23^{\circ}

Volume,V=236cm^3

Mass of water=density\times volume=1\times 236=236 g

Density of water=1g/cm^3

Temperature of hot water,T=87^{\circ}

Specific heat of glass,C_g=0.2cal/g^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water,C_w=1 cal/g^{\circ}C

Q_{glass}=m_gC_g(T_f-T_1)=300\times 0.2(T_f-23)

Q_{water}=m_wC_w(T_f-T)=236\times 1(T_f-87)

Q_{glass}+Q_{water}=0

300\times 0.2(T_f-23)+236\times 1(T_f-87)

60T_f-1380+236T_f-20532=0

296T_f=20532+1380=21912

T_f=\frac{21912}{296}=74^{\circ} C

A car traveling at 14 m/s accelerates at 3.5 m/s² for 5 seconds. How much distance does it travel during that time?​
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 113.75

Explanation:

You know

acceleration = a = 3.5 m/s²

time = t = 5 seconds

initial velocity = u = 14 m/s

Unknown is distance = s = ?

Use equation: s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²

Substitute all the known values inside the equation:

s = (14*5) + 0.5 * 3.5 * 5²

s = 70 + 43.75 = 113.75 m

The car travels 113.75 metres.

A puck of mass 0.110 kg slides across ice in the positive x-direction with a kinetic friction coefficient between the ice and pu
lara [203]

Answer:

a) Ffr = -0.18 N

b) a= -1.64 m/s2

c) t = 9.2 s

d) x = 68.7 m.

e) W= -12.4 J

f) Pavg = -1.35 W

g) Pinst = -0.72 W

Explanation:

a)

  • While the puck slides across ice, the only force acting in the horizontal direction, is the force of kinetic friction.
  • This force is the horizontal component of the contact force, and opposes to the relative movement between the puck and the ice surface, causing it to slow down until it finally comes to a complete stop.
  • So, this force can be written as follows, indicating with the (-) that opposes to the movement of the object.

       F_{frk} = -\mu_{k} * F_{n} (1)

       where μk is the kinetic friction coefficient, and Fn is the normal force.

  • Since the puck is not accelerated in the vertical direction, and there are only two forces acting on it vertically (the normal force Fn, upward, and  the weight Fg, downward), we conclude that both must be equal and opposite each other:

      F_{n} = F_{g} = m*g (2)

  • We can replace (2) in (1), and substituting μk by its value, to find the value of the kinetic friction force, as follows:

       F_{frk} = -\mu_{k} * F_{n} = -0.167*9.8m/s2*0.11kg = -0.18 N (3)

b)

  • According Newton's 2nd Law, the net force acting on the object is equal to its mass times the acceleration.
  • In this case, this net force is the friction force which we have already found in a).
  • Since mass is an scalar, the acceleration must have the same direction as the force, i.e., points to the left.
  • We can write the expression for a as follows:

        a= \frac{F_{frk}}{m} = \frac{-0.18N}{0.11kg} = -1.64 m/s2  (4)

c)

  • Applying the definition of acceleration, choosing t₀ =0, and that the puck comes to rest, so vf=0, we can write the following equation:

        a = \frac{-v_{o} }{t} (5)

  • Replacing by the values of v₀ = 15 m/s, and a = -1.64 m/s2, we can solve for t, as follows:

       t =\frac{-15m/s}{-1.64m/s2} = 9.2 s (6)

d)

  • From (1), (2), and (3) we can conclude that the friction force is constant, which it means that the acceleration is constant too.
  • So, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the displacement before coming to rest:

        v_{f} ^{2} - v_{o} ^{2} = 2*a*\Delta x  (7)

  • Since the puck comes to a stop, vf =0.
  • Replacing in (7) the values of v₀ = 15 m/s, and a= -1.64 m/s2, we can solve for the displacement Δx, as follows:

       \Delta x  = \frac{-v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} =\frac{-(15.0m/s)^{2}}{2*(-1.64m/s2} = 68.7 m  (8)

e)

  • The total work done by the friction force on the object , can be obtained in several ways.
  • One of them is just applying the work-energy theorem, that says that the net work done on the object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the same object.
  • Since the final kinetic energy is zero (the object stops), the total work done by friction (which is the only force that does work, because the weight and the normal force are perpendicular to the displacement) can be written as follows:

W_{frk} = \Delta K = K_{f} -K_{o} = 0 -\frac{1}{2}*m*v_{o}^{2} =-0.5*0.11*(15.0m/s)^{2}   = -12.4 J  (9)

f)

  • By definition, the average power is the rate of change of the energy delivered to an object (in J) with respect to time.
  • P_{Avg} = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}  (10)
  • If we choose t₀=0, replacing (9) as ΔE, and (6) as Δt, and we can write the following equation:

       P_{Avg} = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t} = \frac{-12.4J}{9.2s} = -1.35 W (11)

g)

  • The instantaneous power can be deducted from (10) as W= F*Δx, so we can write P= F*(Δx/Δt) = F*v (dot product)
  • Since F is constant, the instantaneous power when v=4.0 m/s, can be written as follows:

       P_{inst} =- 0.18 N * 4.0m/s = -0.72 W (12)
