While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.40 m/s2 for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b)

List the knowns in this problem. (c) How far does the car travel in those 12.0 s? To solve this part, first identify the unknown, then indicate how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, check your units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (d) What is the car’s final velocity? Solve for this unknown in the same manner as in (c), showing all steps explicitly

Answer:

a) See attached picture, b) We know the initial velocity = 0, initial position=0, time=12.0s, acceleration=2.40m/s^{2}, c) the car travels 172.8m in those 12 seconds, d) The car's final velocity is 28.8m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to draw a sketch of the situation, I must include the data I know, the data I would like to know and a drawing of the car including the direction of the movement and its acceleration, just like in the attached picture.

b) From the information given by the problem I know:

initial velocity =0

acceleration = 2.40m/s^{2}

time = 12.0 s

initial position = 0

c)

unknown:

displacement.

in order to choose the appropriate equation, I must take the knowns and the unknown and look for a formula I can use to solve for the unknown. I know the initial velocity, initial position, time, acceleration and I want to find out the displacement. The formula that contains all this data is the following:

x=x_{0}+V_{x0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}

Once I got the equation I need to find the displacement, I can plug the known values in, like this:

x=0+0(12s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}

after cancelling the pertinent units, I get that  my answer will be given in meters. So I get:

x=\frac{1}{2} (2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}

which solves to:

x=172.8m

So the displacement of the car in 12 seconds is 172.8m, which makes sense taking into account that it will be accelerating for 12 seconds and each second its velocity will increase by 2.4m/s.

d) So, like the previous part of the problem, I know the initial position of the car, the time it travels, the initial velocity and its acceleration. Now I also know what its final position is, so we have more than enough information to find this answer out.

I need to find the final velocity, so I need to use an equation that will use some or all of the known data and the unknown. In order to solve this problem, I can use the following equation:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{0} }{t}

Next, since I need to find the final velocity, I can solve the equation just for that, I can start by multiplying both sides by t so I get:

at=V_{f}-V_{0}

and finally I can add V_{0} to both sides so I get:

V_{f}=at+V_{0}

and now I can proceed and substitute the known values:

V_{f}=at+V_{0}

V_{f}=(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}}} (12s)+0

which solves to:

V_{f}=28.8m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

acceleration, a = 2.4 m/s^2

time, t = 12 s

(a) Diagram is attached

(b) The unknown variables are distance traveled s and the final velocity v.

(c) Use second equation of motion

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

s = 0 x 12 + 0.5 x 2.4 x 12 x 12

s = 172.8 m

thus, the distance traveled is 172.8 m.

(d) Use first equation of motion

v = u + at

v = 0 + 2.4 x 12

v = 28.8 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the car is 28.8 m/s.

What is the weight of a 4.2 kg bowling ball on Mars?
Nataliya [291]

What is the weight of a 4.2 kg bowling ball on Mars?

Answer:

1.59 kg

Explanation:

The formula is:

<u>F = G((Mm)/r2) </u>

F is the gravitational force between two objects,

G is the Gravitational Constant (6.674×10-11 Newtons x meters2 / kilograms2),

M is the planet's mass (kg),

m is your mass (kg), and

r is the distance (m) between the centers of the two masses (the planet's radius).

Hope this helps

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.046 mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 6.20 m away are 8.9 cm apart n
Elanso [62]

Answer:

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is given as ;

y = mλD/d

Where;

D is the distance of the screen from the slits = 6.2 m

d is the distance between the two slits = 0.046 mm = 0.046 x 10^(-3) m

The fringes on the screen are 8.9 cm = 0.089 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y = 0.089 m from the center of the pattern.

Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:

y = mλD/d

So, λ = dy/mD

Thus,

λ = (0.046 x 10^(-3) x 0.089)/(1 x 6.2)

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m
