Answer: 2m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Assuming the car is moving only in one direction (to the South), its acceleration a is given by the following formula, which expresses the variation of the velocity in time:

a=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}   (1)

Where:

\Delta V=V_{2}-V_{1}=40m/s-10m/s=30m/s   is the variation in velocity

\Delta t=t_{2}-t_{1}=15s-0s=15s is the variation in time

Rewritting (1) with the calculated values:

a=\frac{30m/s}{15s}   (2)

a=2m/s^{2}  This is the acceleration of the car

kkurt [141]

Answer:

2.083 V.

Explanation:

Stopping potential is the potential that is required to stop the current to zero . This potential is applied externally to oppose the potential created by the photoelectric effect . It gives the measure the photoelectric potential being generated .

Here current drops to 25 μA to 19 μA by a potential of 500mV

Change in current

= 25 - 19 = 6 μA

Voltage requirement for unit reduction in current

= 500 / 6 μA

To reduce current 0f 25 μA

requirement of V = (500 / 6 )  x 25 =   2083.33 mV = 2.083 V.

Traveling with an initial speed of a car accelerates at along a straight road. How long will it take to reach a speed of Also, t
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

A) 30 s, 792 m

B) 10.28 s, 4108.2 m = 4.11 km

Explanation:

A) Traveling with an initial speed of 70 km/h, a car accelerates at 6000km/h^2 along a straight road. How long will it take to reach a speed of 120 km/h? Also, through what distance does the car travel during this time?

Using the equations of motion.

v = u + at

v = final velocity = 120 km/h

u = initial velocity = 70 km/h

a = acceleration = 6000 km/h²

t = ?

120 = 70 + 6000t

6000t = 50

t = (50/6000) = 0.0083333333 hours = 30 seconds.

Using the equations of motion further,

v² = u² + 2ax

where x = horizontal distance covered by the car during this time

120² = 70² + 2×6000×x

12000x = 120² - 70² = 9500

x = (9500/12000) = 0.79167 km = 791.67 m = 792 m

B) At t = 0 bullet A is fired vertically with an initial (muzzle) velocity of 450 m/s. When t = 3 s, bullet B is fired upward with a muzzle velocity of 600 m/s. Determine the time t, after A is fired, as to when bullet B passes bullet A. At what altitude does this occur?

Bullet A is fired upwards with velocity 450 m/s

Bullet B is fired upwards with velocity 600 m/s too

Using the equations of motion, we can obtain a relation for when vertical distance covered by the bullets and time since they were fired.

y = ut + ½at²

For the bullet A

u = initial velocity = 450 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

y = 450t - 4.9t² (eqn 1)

For the bullet B, fired 3 seconds later,

u = initial velocity = 600 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

t = T

y = 600T - 4.9T²

At the point where the two bullets pass each other, the vertical heights covered are equal

y = y

450t - 4.9t² = 600T - 4.9T²

But, note that, since T starts reading, 3 seconds after t started reading,

T = (t - 3) s

450t - 4.9t² = 600T - 4.9T²

450t - 4.9t² = 600(t-3) - 4.9(t-3)²

450t - 4.9t² = 600t - 1800 - 4.9(t² - 6t + 9)

450t - 4.9t² = 600t - 1800 - 4.9t² + 29.4t - 44.1

600t - 1800 - 4.9t² + 29.4t - 44.1 - 450t + 4.9t² = 0

179.4t - 1844.1 = 0

t = (1844.1/179.4) = 10.28 s

Putting this t into the expression for either of the two y's, we obtain the altitude at which this occurs.

y = 450t - 4.9t²

= (450×10.28) - (4.9×10.28×10.28)

= 4,108.2 m = 4.11 km

Hope this Helps!!!!
