The acceleration of the car in section C is -3 m/s/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is defined as:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity of the body

$\Delta t$ is the time it takes for the body to change its velocity by $\Delta v$

We notice that in a graph of velocity vs time, the slope of the graph is

$m=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

So we see that the slope of the graph corresponds to the acceleration of the object.

In section C of this graph, we have:

$\Delta v = v-u=6 m/s - 12 m/s = -6 m/s$ is the change in velocity of the object

$\Delta t = 11 s - 9 s = 2 s$ is the time interval

Therefore, the slope of the graph (and so, the acceleration of the car) in section C is:

$a=\frac{-6}{2}=-3 m/s^2$

A water pipe tapers down from an initial radius of R1 = 0.21 m to a final radius of R2 = 0.11 m. The water flows at a velocity v

Aleks [24]

Answer:

$0.116 m^3/s$

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of a fluid in a pipe is given by:

$Q=Av$

where

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the fluid

In this problem, at the initial point we have

v = 0.84 m/s is the speed of the water

r = 0.21 m is the radius of the pipe, so the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.21 m)^2 =0.138 m^2$

So, the volume flow rate is

$Q=(0.138 m^2)(0.84 m/s)=0.116 m^3/s$

In a crash test, a 1000 kg automobile moving at 10 m/s crashes into a brick wall. How much energy goes into demolishing and warm

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of automobile $m=1000\ kg$

velocity of automobile $v=10\ m/s$

If the automobile crashes into the brick wall then it's kinetic energy is converted into thermal and demolishing energy to wall.

Car completely stops as it crashes into the wall so Energy converted into demolition and thermal energy

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$E=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times (10)^2$

$E=50\ kJ$
