Answer:

(a) 508.37 m

(b) 47.53 s

(c) 21.165 m

(d) 19.365 m

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 77 km/h = 21.39 m/s

acceleration, a = - 0.45 m/s^2

(a) final velocity, v = 0

Let the distance traveled is s.

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

0^{2}=21.39^{2}-2 \times 0.45 \times s

s = 508.37 m

(b) Let t be the time taken to stop.

Use first equation of motion

v = u + at

0 = 21.39 - 0.45 t

t = 47.53 s

(c) Use the formula for the distance traveled in nth second

s_{n^{th}=u+\frac{1}{2}a\left ( 2n-1 \right )}

where n be the number of second, a be the acceleration, u be the initial velocity.

put n = 1, u = 21.39 m/s , a = - 0.45m/s^2

s_{n^{th}=21.39-\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45\left ( 2\times 1-1 \right )}

s_{n^{th}=21.165m

(d)  Use the formula for the distance traveled in nth second

s_{n^{th}=u+\frac{1}{2}a\left ( 2n-1 \right )}

where n be the number of second, a be the acceleration, u be the initial velocity.

put n = 5, u = 21.39 m/s , a = - 0.45m/s^2

s_{n^{th}=21.39-\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45\left ( 2\times 5-1 \right )}

s_{n^{th}=19.365m

When t= 1 a stone B is thrown vertically upwards from ground level with speed 5ms (ii) find t when a and b collide
Ksju [112]

Answer:

i don't know if this is good for you but

Explanation:

ignoring frictional air resistance (drag) the speed on return is the same as when it left the ground (5 m/s but in the opposite direction).

Note: this points out a good reason for not firing live bullets into the air..they will return somewhere and at the same speed.

However, if you take into account the atmospheric drag the reurn speed will be somewhat smaller (but in the case of a bullet, probably still lethal.) Drag depends on many factors and is difficult to calculate.

A mysterious rocket-propelled object of mass 49.5 kg is initially at rest in the middle of the horizontal, frictionless surface
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The distance covered by the rocket in the first 5 seconds is 7.13 m

Explanation:

In order to solve the problem, we have to find the acceleration of the rocket. We can do it by using Newton's second law, which states that the net force on the rocket is equal to the product between its mass (m) and its acceleration (a):

F(t)=ma(t)

Where here we have:

F(t)=16.8t is the time-dependent force

m = 49.5 kg is the mass

Solving for a(t),

a(t)=\frac{F(t)}{m}=\frac{16.8t}{49.5}=0.34t[m/s^2]

This is the time-dependent acceleration of the rocket.

By integrating this expression, we  find the velocity of the rocket at time t:

v(t)=\int a(t)dt=\int (0.34t)dt=\frac{0.34t^2}{2}=0.17t^2

where we didn't add the constant term since the velocity at t = 0 is zero (the rocket starts from rest).

By integrating this expression, we then find an expression for the position of the rocket at time t:

x(t)=\int v(t) dt = \int (0.17t^2)dt=\frac{0.17t^3}{3}=0.057t^3

Therefore, the distance covered by the rocket in the first t = 5.00 s is:

x(5)=0.057(5.0)^3=7.13 m

Imagine that you have a very thin uniform oil film on the surface of water. The thickness of oil is much smaller than the wavele
Leona [35]

Answer:

Green light

Explanation:

The thickness of oil is smaller than wavelength of blue light. The wavelength 450 nm to 495 nm. Let the thickness of oil is 400 nm.

By the constructive interference formula,

2nt = m\lamda\lamda\\λ

2 X 1.28 X 400 X 10^(-9) = 2λ

λ = 512 nm

This is the wavelength of green light.

A cheetah can run at a maximum speed
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

d = v * t, where d is the distance and v is the velocity, t is the time

cheetah

v = 95.4 km/h

gazelle

v= 74.4 km/h

d1 = 83m = 0.083 km

when the cheetah catches the gazelle the distances will be equal

95.4t= 74.4t+0.083

t= 0.00395 h* (3600s/1h) = 14.22 s
