Answer:

The correct answer is option 'b': 3.6m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the image formed by a plane mirror is at same distance behind the mirror as the object is placed in front of the mirror.

Hence we can conclude that the speed of the image as it moves towards the mirror is equal to the speed of the object as it moves towards the mirror.

Thus the relative speed of the object and the image can be calculated as

V_{io}=V_{i}-V_{o}\\\\

where

V_{i} is the speed of the image towards mirror

V_{o} is the speed of the object towards mirror

Applying values we obtain the relative speed as

V_{io}=1.8m/s-(-1.8m/s)\\\\V_{io}=3.6m/s

You stand on a frictionless platform that is rotating with an angular speed of 5.1 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you ho
timurjin [86]

Answer:

\omega'=19.419\ rev.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

angular speed of rotation of friction-less platform, \omega=5.1\ rev.s^{-1}

moment of inertia with extended weight, I=9.9\ kg.m^2

moment of inertia with contracted weight, I'=2.6\ kg.m^2

<u>Now we use the law of conservation of angular momentum:</u>

I.\omega=I'.\omega'

9.9\times 5.1=2.6\times \omega'

\omega'=19.419\ rev.s^{-1}

The angular speed becomes faster as the mass is contracted radially near to the axis of rotation.

A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2 . Als
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

a) f = 453.3Hz

b) f = 443.1Hz

c) f = 420Hz

Explanation:

First of all we need to know the positions and velocities of both vehicles.

For the car:

Xc(-5) = 0m;   Vc(-5) = 0m/s

Xc(5) = 2.5*5^2/2=31.25m;  Vc(5)=2.5*5 = 12.5m/s

Xc(10)=2.5*10^2/2=125m;    Vc(10)=2.5*10=25m/s

For the truck:

Xt(-5)=10*(-5) = -50m;   Vt(5)=10m/s

Xt(5)=10*5 = 50m;       Vt(5)=10m/s

Xt(10)=10*10=100m;     Vt(10)=10m/s

Now for part a) t=-5s. The truck is behind the car, so:

f=\frac{C}{C-Vt}*fo = 453.3Hz

Now for part b) t=5s. The car is behind the truck, so:

f=\frac{C+Vc}{C+Vt}*fo = 443.1Hz

Now for part b) t=10s. The truck is behind the car, so:

f=\frac{C-Vc}{C-Vt}*fo = 420Hz

Two large, parallel, conducting plates are 12 cm apart and have charges of equal magnitude and opposite sign on their facing sur
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

a) 2.4×10^4N/C

b) 2.9 ×10^3V

Explanation:

Correct ststement: An electric force of 3.9×10^-15N acts on the electron if it is placed anywhere between the two plates.

a) The electric field magnitude is given by E= F/e

Where F = electric force

e= elementary charge carried by a single proton e= 1.6×10^-19C

E= (3.9×10^-15)/(1.6×10^-19)

E= 2.4×10^4NC

b) Ptential difference is given by:

Change in V= E×change in distance

Potential difference= (2.4×10^4)× (0.12)

Potential difgerence= 2.9×10^3V

a sports car accelerates from a standing start to 65 mi\h in 4.61s how far can it travel in that time
igor_vitrenko [27]

The car can travel 220.27 ft in 4.61 s of time.

Given that a sports car accelerates from a standing start to 65 mi/hr.

So the initial velocity = 0 ft/s

The final velocity = 65 mi/hr.

We convert the final velocity from mi/hr. to ft/s.

1 mi/hr = 5280/3600 ft/s

          = 1.47 ft/s

Therefore final velocity = 65 x 1.47 = 95.55 ft/s

The time taken by the car = 4.61 s

Now the average acceleration of the car = final velocity - initial velocity / time taken = 95.55 - 0/ 4.61 s = 20.73 ft/s^2

The displacement of the car , s= ut +\frac{1}{2} at^2 ,

where u is the initial velocity of the car, t, the time taken by the car and a, the average acceleration.

So, displacement = 0 x 4.61 + 1/2 x 20.73 x 4.61^2

                             = 220.27 ft

Hence the distance travelled by the sports car in 4.61s is 220.27 ft.
