Two cars are driving at the same constant speed on a straight road, with car 1 in front of car 2. car 1 suddenly starts to brake

with constant acceleration and stops in 10 m. at the instant car 1 comes to a stop, car 2 begins to brake with the same acceleration. it comes to a halt just as it reaches the back of car 1. what was the separation between the cars before they starting braking?

On top of a cliff of height h, a spring is compressed 5m and launches a projectile perfectly horizontally with a speed of 75 m s
omeli [17]

Answer:

The height of the cliff is 121.276 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the projectile, v₁ = 75 m/s

final velocity of the projectile, v₂ = 90 m/s

spring compression = 5 m

Apply the law of conservation of energy;

mgh₀ + ¹/₂mv₁² = mgh₂ + ¹/₂mv₂²

gh₀ + ¹/₂v₁² = gh₂ + ¹/₂v²

gh₁  - gh₂ = ¹/₂v₂² - ¹/₂v₁²

g(h₀  - h₂) = ¹/₂ (v₂² - v₁²)

h₀  - h₂ = ¹/₂g (v₂² - v₁²)

h₀ = h(cliff) + 5m

when the projectile hits the ground, Final height, h₂ = 0

h_o - 0 = \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\\\h_{cliff} + 5= \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\\\h_{cliff}  = \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2) - 5\\\\h_{cliff}  = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(90^2-75^2) - 5\\\\h_{cliff} = 121.276 \ m

Therefore, the height of the cliff is 121.276 m

The nucleus of 8Be, which consists of 4 protons and 4 neutrons, is very unstable and spontaneously breaks into two alpha particl
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

a)    F = 21.16 N,  b)     a = 3.17 10²⁸ m / s

Explanation:

a) The outside between the alpha particles is the electric force, given by Coulomb's law

          F = k \frac{ q_1 q_2}{r^2}

in that case the two charges are of equal magnitude

          q₁ = q₂ = 2q

let's calculate

         F = 9 \ 10^9 \ \frac{ (2 \ 1.6 \ 10^{-19} )^2 }{ (6.60 \ 10^{-15} )^2 }

         F = 21.16 N

this force is repulsive because the charges are of the same sign

b) what is the initial acceleration

         F = ma

         a = F / m

         a = \frac{21.16}{4.0026 \ 1.67 \ 10^{-27} }21.16 / 4.0025 1.67 10-27

         a = 3.17 10²⁸ m / s

this acceleration is in the direction of moving away the alpha particles

an object is moving with a speed of 35 m/s and has a kinetic energy of 1500 J, what is the mass of the object?
Elena-2011 [213]
You'd use the equation kinetic energy=mass*0.5*speed^2
So you'd rearrange this to get mass =kinetic energy /0.5 *speed^2
Which is mass= 1500J/0.5*35^2
=2.44897959183673469........kg
