An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 120 km/h in 8.28 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in

contact with the faux fawn for 0.815 s, after which the car is measured to be traveling at 71.0 km/h. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car before the collision

Answer:

The value is   a =  4.0 \ m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

  The velocity  is  a =  120 \  km/h =  [tex]\frac{120 *  1000}{3600} =  33.3 \  m/s[/tex]

  The time taken is t  =  8.28 \  s

    The  time taken for contact is  t_c  =  0.815 \  s

     The  velocity of the of the car after contact is v_c =  71.0 \  km/h = [tex]\frac{71 *1000}{3600} =  19.7 2 \  m/s[/tex]

From the equation of kinematics we have that  

       v =  u  + at

Here   u =  0 \ m/s  since the car is initially motionless

=>    33.3 =  0  + a *  8.28

=>    a =  4.0 \ m/s^2

Two cars are traveling in the same direction down a highway at 65 miles per hour. What is the relative velocity of the second ca
Levart [38]

Answer:

5 hours

Explanation:

Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.

The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.

<em>D=S×T </em>

The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.

The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.

The two distances differ by 40 miles.

58x−50x=40

8x=40

x=5 hours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A second method:

The difference in the distances is 40 miles

The difference in the speeds is #8mph.

The time to make up the 40 miles= \frac{40}{8}=5 hours

A spherical conductor is inside a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 1000 N/C to the right. What is the magnitude and di
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.-E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2.-The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero (conductor proprieties).

3.-The voltmeter read 0V as differential voltage between two points from the conductor

Explanation:

1.The electric field inside the conductor must be zero (conductor proprieties). Then the charges create a electric field equal an opposite to the external electric field. In other words E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2. The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. As shown in the figure the electric field induced by the charges in the sphere surface cancelled the EXTERN electric field.

3.If the Electric field inside the conductor is zero, that means that the Voltage in the hole conductor is constant (conductor proprieties). In other words the the voltmeter read 0v as differential voltage between two points from the conductor.

Three masses are located in the x- y plane as follows: a mass of 6 kg is at (0 m, 0 m), a mass of 4 kg is at (3 m, 0 m), and a m
enot [183]

Answer:

The center of mass of three mass in the x-y plane is located at (1,0.5).                  

Explanation:

It is given that, a mass of 6 kg is at (0,0), a mass of 4 kg is at (3,0), and a mass of 2 kg is at (0,3). We need to find the center of mass of the system. Center of mass in x direction  is :

C_x=\dfrac{6\times 0+4\times 3+2\times 0}{6+4+2}\\\\C_x=1

The center of mass in y direction is :

C_y=\dfrac{6\times 0+4\times 0+2\times 3}{6+4+2}\\\\C_y=0.5

So, the center of mass of three mass in the x-y plane is located at (1,0.5).
