If a car changes ita velocity from 32km/hr to 54km/hr in 8.0 seconds, what is its acceleration

Physics

Andrews [41]3 years ago

Firstly, let's convert the velocities in km/hr to m/s
32*1000/3600=8.89m/s
54*1000/3600=15m/s
From the formula, acceleration=V-U/t
15-8.89/8=0.76m/s²
hope this helps.

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
Archy [21]

Answer:

4m/s^2

Explanation:

mass(m)=20 kg

force=80 N

acceleration (a)=?

Therefore,

Force = mass * acceleration

80 = 20*a

a=80/20

=4m/s^2

The rocket's acceleration has components \(a_{x}(t)= \alpha t^{2}\) and \(a_{y}(t)= \beta - \gamma t\), where \(\alpha = 2.50 {\
lbvjy [14]
 it is just a matter of integration and using initial conditions since in general dv/dt = a it implies v = integral a dt 
v(t)_x = integral a_{x}(t) dt = alpha t^3/3 + c the integration constant c can be found out since we know v(t)_x at t =0 is v_{0x} so substitute this in the equation to get v(t)_x = alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} 
similarly v(t)_y = integral a_{y}(t) dt = integral beta - gamma t dt = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + c this constant c use at t = 0 v(t)_y = v_{0y} v(t)_y = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} 
so the velocity vector as a function of time vec{v}(t) in terms of components as[ alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} , beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} ] 
similarly you should integrate to find position vector since dr/dt = v r = integral of v dt 
r(t)_x = alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t + c let us assume the initial position vector is at origin so x and y initial position vector is zero and hence c = 0 in both cases 
r(t)_y = beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t + c here c = 0 since it is at 0 when t = 0 we assume 
r(t)_vec = [ r(t)_x , r(t)_y ] = [ alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t , beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t ]

Which is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy? Select two options.
Rasek [7]

<u>Complete Question:</u>

Which is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy? Select two options.

changing thermal energy to electrical energy

changing chemical energy to thermal energy

changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

changing radiant energy to electrical energy

changing mechanical energy to chemical energy

<u>Correct Answer:</u>

The examples of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy are changing chemical energy to thermal energy and changing nuclear energy to radiant energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As stated by the conservation of energy law, any form of energy is usually transferred to another form. The basic kinds of energy is potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy stored for the objects at rest and kinetic energy is the energy utilized by the objects for motion.

So in the given options, chemical energy is the energy stored by the chemical bonds to make a stable compound and that energy is converted to thermal energy when the bonds get broken. So the stored energy or the energy required to keep the bonds intact is chemical energy and it is thus a form of potential energy.

And when these bonds get broken, the electrons use the thermal energy released by this breakage as their kinetic energy. So one form of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy is by changing chemical energy to thermal energy.

Similarly, the nuclear energy is exhibited by the elementary particles in an atom. So it is similar to potential energy and the radiant energy is released whenever there is an excitation. So the radiant energy will be similar to kinetic energy.

Thus, the changing of chemical energy to thermal energy and the changing of nuclear energy to radiant energy are the examples of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy.
