Answer:

C. 2.5 days/mi

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the distance covered by an object divided by the time taken to cover that distance:

v=\frac{S}{t}

where

S is the distance covered

t is the time taken

At the numerator of the fraction, we have distance, which is a lenght. Lenght is measured in different possible units: meters (m), kilometer (km), mile (mi), centimeter (cm)...

At the denominator, we have a time, which can be measured in seconds (s), minutes (min), hours (h), days..

According to this, we can see that option

C. 2.5 days/mi

cannot represent a speed. In fact, at the numeratore we have days (which is a measure of time), while at the denominator we have mile (which is a measure of length), so in this fraction distance and time are inverted, therefore this cannot be a measurement of a speed.

This question is divided into two parts. This is part (a) of the question. A proton accelerates from rest in a uniform electric
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The acceleration of proton is 5.56 x 10^10 m/s^2 .

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0

Electric field, E = 580 N/C

final speed, v = 10^6 m/s

(a) Let the acceleration is a.

According to the Newton's second law

F = m a = q E

where, q is the charge of proton and m is the mass.

a= \frac{q E}{m}\\\\a = \frac{1.6\times10^{-19}\times 580}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}\\\\a= 5.56\times 10^{10} m/s^2

If a net horizontal force of 0.8 N is applied to a toy whose mass is 1.2 kg what acceleration is produced?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

<h2>0.67 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{0.8}{1.2}   \\  = 0.666666...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.67 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

a = 0.8 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the resulting force on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration, in this way we come to the following equation:

∑F = m*a

where:

F = forces applied [N]

m = mass = 1000 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Now using Newton's second law.

1200 - 400 = 1000*a\\800 = 1000 *a\\a=0.8[m/s^{2} ]

At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats faci
siniylev [52]

Answer:

r = 1.86 m

Explanation:

Here the force due to wall of the cylinder is towards the axis of the cylinder

This force will act as centripetal force for the people sit inside the chamber

now we will have

F_c = \frac{mv^2}{R}

now we will have

F_c = 488 N

m = 84.4 kg

v = 3.28 m/s

now we have

488 = \frac{84.4(3.28)^2}{r}

now we have

r = 1.86 m
