A car traveling at 37m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 15 seconds. What is it’s acceleration

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer

The acceleration is

$a=-2.5ms^{-2}$ to the nearest tenth

Explanation

Since the car was travelling at $37ms^{-1}$ before it starts to decelerate, the initial velocity is

$u=37ms^{-1}$ .

The final velocity is $v=0ms^{-1}$ , because the car came to a stop.

The time taken is $t=15s$ .

Using the Newton's equation of linear motion,

$v=u +at$ , we find the acceleration by substituting the known values.

This implies that,

$0=37 +a(15)$

This gives us,

$0-37=15a$

$\Rightarrow -37=15a$

We divide both sides by 15 to get,

$a=-\frac{37}{15}ms^{-2}$

$a=-2.46667ms^{-2}$

A 50 kg skydiver is falling downwards and accelerating 6 m/s2 down. What is the net force on the skydiver?

Montano1993 [528]

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration) (Newton #2)

Net Force = (50 kg) x (6 m/s² down)

Net Force = (50 * 6) (kg-m/s² down)

Net Force = 300 Newtons down

A modern compact fluorescent lamp contains 1.4 mg of mercury (Hg). If each mercury atom in the lamp were to emit a single photon

Reika [66]

Answer:

A. 1.64 J

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}$

where

n is the number of moles

m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury

Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury

Substituting, we find

$n=\frac{0.0014 g}{200.6 g/mol}=7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol$

Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:

$N=n N_A$

where

n is the number of moles

$N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1}$ is the Avogadro number

Substituting,

$N=(7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol)(6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1})=4.22\cdot 10^{18}$ atoms

The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is

$E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda=508 nm=5.08\cdot 10^{-7}nm$ is the wavelength

Substituting,

$E_1 = \frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.08\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J$

And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is

$E=nE_1 = (4.22\cdot 10^{18} )(3.92\cdot 10^{-19}J)=1.64 J$

What is quantum entanglement is a simple explanation?

Brums [2.3K]

Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently — instead, a quantum state must be described for the system as a whole.
