A toy car with an initial velocity of 5 m/s slows to a stop with an acceleration of -1.5 m/s^2.

enot [183]

Car's Initial velocity (u) = 5 m/s

Car's Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (Stop)

Acceleration of the car (a) = -1.5 m/s²

Equation used to solve this problem:

$\boxed{ \bf{ {v}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2as}}$

By substituting values in the equation, we get:

$\rm \longrightarrow {0}^{2} = {5}^{2} +2 \times ( - 1.5) \times s \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow 0 = 25 - 3s \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow 25 - 3s = 0 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow 25 - 25 - 3s =0 - 25 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow - 3s = - 25 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow 3s = 25 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow \dfrac{3s}{3} = \dfrac{25}{3} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow s = 8.3 \: m$

$\therefore$ Displacement of the toy car (s) = 8.3 m

In a plate glass factory, sheets of glass move along a conveyor belt at a speed of 15.0 cm/s. An automatic cutting tool descends

Leni [432]

Answer:

angle at which the cutter should be set = 32°

Explanation:

We are given;

Speed of conveyor belt; v1 = 15 cm/s

Width;w = 72 cm

Speed of the cutter that moves across the width; v2 = 24 cm/s

Let's calculate time;

Since the width and the rate at which the cutter works per seconds is given, thus;

Time = w/v2

Time = 72/24 = 3 seconds

Now, we know that, velocity = distance/time

Thus, distance = velocity x time

So, distance covered;d = 15 x 3 = 45 cm

Now, for us to calculate the angle the cutter should be set, we would treat it as a triangle.

When the cutter cuts it, it covers a distance d which is perpendicular to the width.

Thus, to calculate the angle made with the width, we'll use trigonometric ratio.

Thus, d/w = tan θ where θ is the angle at which the cutter should be set.

So, 45/72 = tan θ

tan θ = 0.625

θ = tan^(-1)0.625

θ = 32°

The velocity of a passenger relative to a boat is -vpb. The velocity of the boat relative to the river it is moving on is vbr. T

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

vps = vbr + vrs - vpb

Explanation:

If the passenger were at rest, his speed relative to the shore will be identical to the boat's, as follows:
vps = vbr + vrs
As he is moving in a direction opposite to the boat's, his velocity relative to the shore must be less than if he were at rest, in the same quantity that he was moving opposite to the boat, as follows:
vps = vbr+ vrs -vpb

) A satellite of mass m has an orbital period T when it is in a circular orbit of radius R around the earth. If the satellite in

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

$T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}$

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.
