a car traveling at 40m/s starts to decelerate steadily. it comes to a complete stop in 12 seconds. what is the acceleration?

Physics

Arturiano [62]3 years ago

Velocity - v =0 m/s,

initial velocity - v(0)= 40 m/s

a - acceleration,

time - t = 12 s.

v=v(0) - at

0 = 40m/s - a*12s

12a = 40

a = 3.3 m/s²

Students perform a set of experiments by placing a block of mass m against a spring, compressing the spring a distance x along a
Verizon [17]

Increasing the angle of inclination of the plane decreases the velocity of the block as it leaves the spring.

  • The statement that indicates how the relationship between <em>v</em> and <em>x</em> changes is;<u> As </u><u><em>x</em></u><u> increases, </u><u><em>v</em></u><u> increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of </u><u><em>v</em></u><u> will be less for the same value of </u><u><em>x</em></u><u>.</u>

Reasons:

The energy given  to the block by the spring = \mathbf{0.5  \cdot k  \cdot x^2}

According to the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

On a flat plane, energy given to the block = 0.5  \cdot k  \cdot x^2 = kinetic energy of

block = 0.5  \cdot m  \cdot v^2

Therefore;

0.5·k·x² = 0.5·m·v²

Which gives;

x² ∝ v²

x ∝ v

On a plane inclined at an angle θ, we have;

The energy of the spring = \mathbf{0.5  \cdot k  \cdot x^2}

  • The force of the weight of the block on the string, F = m \cdot g  \cdot sin(\theta)

The energy given to the block = 0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g  \cdot sin(\theta) = The kinetic energy of block as it leaves the spring = \mathbf{0.5  \cdot m  \cdot v^2}

Which gives;

0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g  \cdot sin(\theta) = 0.5  \cdot m  \cdot v^2

Which is of the form;

a·x² - b = c·v²

a·x² + c·v² = b

Where;

a, b, and <em>c</em> are constants

The graph of the equation a·x² + c·v² = b  is an ellipse

Therefore;

  • As <em>x</em> increases, <em>v</em> increases, however, the value of <em>v</em> obtained will be lesser than the same value of <em>x</em> as when the block is on a flat plane.

<em>Please find attached a drawing related to the question obtained from a similar question online</em>

<em>The possible question options are;</em>

  • <em>As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x</em>
  • <em>The relationship is no longer linear and v will be more for the same value of x</em>
  • <em>The relationship is still linear, with lesser value of v</em>
  • <em>The relationship is still linear, with higher value of v</em>
  • <em>The relationship is still linear, but vary inversely, such that as x increases, v decreases</em>

A car takes off from rest takes of from rest and covers a distance of 80m on a straight road in 10s.Calculate the magnitude of i
hodyreva [135]
  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s [the car was at rest]
  • Distance (s) = 80 m
  • Time (t) = 10 s
  • Let the magnitude of acceleration be a.
  • By using the equation of motion, s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}we get,80 = 0 \times 10 +  \frac{1}{2}  \times a \times  {10}^{2}  \\  =  > 80 =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 100a \\  =  > 80 = 50a \\  =  > a =  \frac{80}{50}  \\  =  > a = 1.6

How do I know if i’m doing number 2 right?
Ksju [112]

We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.

Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.

The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.

Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.

We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.

a wire of a certain material has resistance r and diameter d a second wire of the same material and length is found to have resi
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

<h2>d₂ = 3d</h2><h2>The diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire.</h2>

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the resistivity of an object to find the diameter.

Resistivity P = RA/L

R is the resistance of the material

A is the cross sectional area

L is the length of the material

Since A = πd²/4

P = R( πd²/4)/L

P = Rπd²/4L ... 1

If the second wire of the same material and length is found to have resistance R/9, the resistivity of the second material will be;

P₂ = (R/9)A₂/L₂

P₂ = (R/9)(πd₂²/4)/L₂

P₂ = (Rπd₂²/36)/L₂

P₂ = (Rπd₂²)/36L₂

Since the length and resistivity are the same;

P = P₂  and L =L₂

Equating 1 and 2;

Rπd²/4L =  (Rπd₂²)/36L₂

Rπd²/4L =  (Rπd₂²)/36L

d² = d₂²/9

d₂² = 9d²

Taking the square root of both sides;

√d₂² = √9d²

d₂ = 3d

Therefore the diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire

The pitch of a note corresponds to which property of sound wave
Ksivusya [100]
A high pitch sound corresponds to a high-frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low-frequency sound wave. So, the pitch of a note corresponds to the amount of frequency of a sound wave. Hope this helped!
