5. A bus starting from rest accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of 3m/s2 for 8s. Calculate the distance travelled
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

d = 96 meters

Explanation:

a = acceleration

t = time

d = distance

d =  \frac{1}{2}  \times a \times  {t}^{2}

d =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 3 \times  {8}^{2}

d = 96

Use Hooke's Law to determine the work done by the variable force in the spring problem. Nine joules of work is required to stret
natima [27]

Answer:

29.16 J

Explanation:

From Hook's law,

W = 1/2(ke²)..................... Equation 1

Where W = work done, k = Spring constant, e = extension.

Given: W = 9 J, e = 0.5 m.

Substitute into equation 1

9 = 1/2(k×0.5²)

Solve for k

k = 18/0.5²

k = 72 N/m.

The work done required to stretch the spring by additional 0.4 m is

W = 1/2(72)(0.4+0.5)²

W = 36(0.9²)

W = 29.16 J.

One speed skater starts across a frozen lake at an average speed of 8 m/s. Ten seconds later, a second speed skater starts from
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

40 s

Explanation:

After 10 seconds, the first skater would have a 8m/s * 10s = 80 m head start

Let t be the number of seconds after the second skater starts will the second skater overtake the first skater

The distance traveled by the first skater after t seconds is

s_1 = v_1t = 8t

Similarly the distance traveled by the 2nd skater after t seconds is

s_2 = v_2t = 10t

Since the 2nd skater catches up to the 1st one after 80 m behind, the distance traveled by the 2nd one must be 80m greater than the distance of the 1st skater

s_2 = s_1 + 80

We can substitute s_1 = 8t, s_2 = 10t

10t = 8t + 80

2t = 80

t = 80 / 2 = 40 s

A tiny 0.0250 -microgram oil drop containing 15 excess electrons is suspended between to horizontally closely-spaced metal plate
qaws [65]

Answer:

(a) 12 × 10⁻³ C = 12 mC (b) The lower plate

Explanation:

Given

mass of oil drop, m = 0.025 μg =  0.025 × 10⁻⁶

radius of plates, r = 6.50 cm = 6.5 × 10⁻² m

k = 1/4πε₀ = 9.0 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

electric charge, e= 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

charge on oil drop, q = 15e

charge on plates, Q = ?

First, we find the charge density of the plates, D = Q/A where Q = charge on plates and A = area of plates. Since the plates are circular, the area is given by A=πr² where r = radius of plates. D=Q/πr²

Also, the electric field, E between the plates is given by E = D/ε =Q/Aε = Q/ε₀πr².

The force on the oil drop due to the electric field between the plates is given by F = qE = qQ/ε₀πr².

Since the oil drop is suspended between the plates, it means that the electric force due to the field on the oil drop balances the weight of the oil drop. So, since weight of oil drop W = mg where g = 9.8 m/s². F =W (for oil drop suspension).

So, qQ/ε₀πr²=mg

So, Q=mgε₀πr²/q

From k = 1/4πε₀, ε₀=1/4πk

So, Q = mgπr²/4πkq = mgr²/4kq = (0.025 × 10⁻⁶ × 9.8 × (6.5 × 10⁻²)²)÷(4 × 9 × 10⁹ × 15 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹)= 0.012 C = 12 mC

(b) The lower plate must be positive because, the direction of the electric field must be upwards, so as to balance out the weight of the oil drop so as to suspend it.
