Help me find the acceleration

Physics

ANEK [815]3 years ago

a = 3.09 m/s²

<h3>Explanation</h3>

This question doesn't tell anything about how long it took for the car to go through 105 meters. As a result, the <em>timeless </em>suvat equation is likely what you need for this question.

In the <em>timeless</em> suvat equation,

a = \dfrac{v^2 - u^2}{2\; x}

where

  • a is the acceleration of the car;
  • v is the <em>final</em> velocity of the car;
  • u is the <em>initial</em> velocity of the car; and
  • x is the displacement of the car.

Note that <em>v</em> and <em>u</em> are velocities. Make sure that you include their signs in the calculation.

In this question,

  • a is the unknown;
  • v = -10.9 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2};
  • u = -27.7 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}; and
  • x = - 105 \; \text{m}.

Apply the <em>timeless</em> suvat equation:

a = \dfrac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2\; x}\\\phantom{a} = \dfrac{(-10.9)^{2} - (-27.7)^{2}}{2 \times (-105)}\\\phantom{a} = 3.09 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}.

The value of a is greater than zero, which is reasonable. Velocity of the car is negative, meaning that the car is moving backward. The car now moves to the back at a slower speed. Effectively it accelerates to the front. Its acceleration shall thus be positive.

A "biconvex" lens is one in which both surfaces of the lens bulge outwards. Suppose you had a biconvex lens with radii of curvat
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.

Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:

\frac{1}{f} = (nglass - ni)(\frac{1}{R1} - \frac{1}{R2}).

nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;

ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;

R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;

R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;

Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1.3)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

\frac{1}{f} = 0.2(\frac{1}{30})

f = \frac{30}{0.2} = 150

For air (nair = 1):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

f = \frac{30}{0.5} = 60

In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.

In air, f = 60cm.

Four springs with the following spring constants, 113.0 N/m, 65.0 N/m, 102.0 N/m, and 101.0 N/m are connected in series. What is
Llana [10]

Answer:

K_e_q=22.75878093\frac{N}{m}

f=1.363684118Hz

Explanation:

In order to calculate the equivalent spring constant we need to use the next formula:

\frac{1}{K_e_q} =\frac{1}{K_1} +\frac{1}{K_2} +\frac{1}{K_3} +\frac{1}{K_4}

Replacing the data provided:

\frac{1}{K_e_q} =\frac{1}{113} +\frac{1}{65} +\frac{1}{102} +\frac{1}{101}

K_e_q=22.75878093\frac{N}{m}

Finally, to calculate the frequency of oscillation we use this:

f=\frac{1}{2(pi)} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

Replacing m and k:

f=\frac{1}{2(pi)} \sqrt{\frac{22.75878093}{0.31} } =1.363684118Hz

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.760 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 365 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12.0o to
Allushta [10]

Answer:

0.572 Hz

Explanation:

given,

length of simple pendulum, l = 0.76 m

mass of the bob, m = 365 g = 0.365 Kg

angle made from the vertical, = 12°

frequency, f = ?

f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{L}}

f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{9.8}{0.76}}

f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\times 3.59

       f = 0.572 Hz

The frequency at which pendulum vibrates is equal to 0.572 Hz
