A cyclist is riding his bike up a mountain trail. When he starts up the trail , he is going 8 m/s. As the trail gets steeper, he

slows to 3 m/s in 1 minute. What is the cyclist's acceleration?

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

Our cyclist's change in speed = (3 m/s) - (8 m/s) = -5 m/s

Acceleration = (-5 m/s) / (60 seconds)

<em>Acceleration = -1/12 m/s²</em>

Why do the planets orbit the Sun in an elliptical shape?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

That's essentially how objects in orbits work as they move closer to the body they orbit, they accelerate faster and faster. Our penny will get so fast that, once it comes around the planet, it will be flung very far away, which will then slow it down. This is what creates an elliptical orbit.

Answer:

  • toaster -- 15 A, 8 Ω
  • fry pan -- 10.83 A, 11.08 Ω
  • lamp -- 0.83 A, 144 Ω
  • fuse will blow

Explanation:

  P = VI

  I = P/V = P/120

  R = V/I = V/(P/V) = V^2/P = 14400/P

<u>Toaster</u>: I = 1800/120 = 15 . . . amps

  R = 14400/1800 = 8 . . . ohms

<u>Fry pan</u>: I = 1300/120 = 10.833 . . . amps

  R = 14400/1300 = 11.08 . . . ohms

<u>Lamp</u>: I = 100/120 = 0.833 . . . amps

  R = 14400/100 = 144 . . . ohms

The total current exceeds 20 A, so will blow the fuse.

A blue car with mass mc = 427 kg is moving east with a speed of vc = 20 m/s and collides with a purple truck with mass mt = 1282
polet [3.4K]

Answer:8540 kg-g/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of blue car m_c=427 kg

velocity of blue car v_c=20 m/s

mass of the truck m_t=1282 kg

speed of truck v_t=13 m/s

After collision they stick and lock together

Let v be the velocity of combined system at angle \theta from vertical

Conserving momentum in east direction

m_c\times v_c=(m_c+m_t)v\cos \theta

427\times 20 =1709\times v\cos \theta------1

Conserving Momentum in Y direction

m_t\times v_t=(m_c+m_t)v\sin \theta

1282\times 13 =1709\times v\sin \theta-------2

squaring and then adding 1 & 2 we get

(8540)^2+(16666)^2=(1709)^2\cdot v^2

v=10.95 m/s

initial momentum of car=427\times 20=8540 kg-m/s
