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

Physics
1 answer:
ololo11 [35]3 years ago

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.

How is the lifetime of a star related to its mass?
Flauer [41]
Stars having less mass collapses early than those with more mass. This can be explained by Einstein's equation E=mc².
According to this equation, mass of stars is converted into light due to thermonuclear reactions occuring in the core of star which acts as engine of the stars. This thermonuclear reactions keeps star alive. Thermonuclear reactions occurs slowly in massive stars hence massive stars live more than light stars.

On a sunny day, a student poured a cup of water on the sidewalk to make a puddle. When he returned later, the puddle was gone. T
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The students conclusion is wrong.

Explanation:

The students conclusion is wrong because liquids can not soak into concrete. The water evaporated because it was a hot sunny day. The water turned into a gas called water vapor.

Newton's first law equations like velocity and stuff like that
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Newton's first law: An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. ... An object sliding across a table or floor slows down due to the net force of friction acting on the object.

Question:
exis [7]

Answer:

She can swing 1.0 m high.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The mechanical energy of Jane (ME) can be calculated by adding her gravitational potential (PE) plus her kinetic energy (KE).

The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

And the potential energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of Jane.

v = velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).

h = height.

Then:

ME = KE + PE

Initially, Jane is running on the surface on which we assume that the gravitational potential energy of Jane is zero (the height is zero). Then:

ME = KE + PE      (PE = 0)

ME = KE

ME = 1/2 · m · (4.5 m/s)²

ME = m · 10.125 m²/s²

When Jane reaches the maximum height, its velocity is zero (all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy). Then, the mechanical energy will be:

ME = KE + PE      (KE = 0)

ME = PE

ME = m · 9.8 m/s² · h

Then, equallizing both expressions of ME and solving for h:

m · 10.125 m²/s² =  m · 9.8 m/s² · h

10.125 m²/s² / 9.8 m/s²  = h

h = 1.0 m

She can swing 1.0 m high (if we neglect dissipative forces such as air resistance).
