Answer: -2502N

Explanation:

(V_2)^2=(V_1)^2+2ad

where;

V_2 = final velocity = 0

V_1 = initial velocity = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s

a = acceleration

d = distance

First all of, because acceleration is given in m/s and not km/h, you need to convert 60km/h to m/s. Our conversion factors here are 1km = 1000m and 1h = 3600s

60km/h(\frac{1000m}{1km} )(\frac{1h}{3600s} )=16.67m/s

Solve for a;

(V_2)^2=(V_1)^2+2ad

Begin by subtracting (V_1)^2

(V_2)^2-(V_1)^2=2ad

Divide by 2d

\frac{(V_2)^2-(V_1)^2}{2d} =a

Now plug in your values:

a=\frac{(0)^2-(16.67 m/s)^2}{2(50m)}

a=\frac{0-277.89m^2/s^2}{100m}

a=-2.78m/s

If you're wondering why I calculated acceleration first is because in order to find force, we need 2 things: mass and acceleration.

F=ma

m = mass = 900kg

a = acceleration = -2.78m/s

F=(900kg)(-2.78m/s)\\F=-2502N

It's negative because the force has to be applied in the opposite direction that the car is moving.

An ac generator with peak voltage 100 volts is placed across a 10-? resistor. What is the average power dissipated?
Romashka [77]
The correct answer is: Average Power  = 500 W

Explanation:
Root-mean square voltage = Vrms = Vpeak /√2 = 100 / √2 volts
Resistance = R = 10 Ω
Average power = Pavg = (Vrms)^2<span> / R </span>= (100 * 100) / (2 * 10) = <span>500 W</span>

You ride your bike north for 100 m at a constant speed of 5 m/Your acceleration is…
inessss [21]

Answer:

our acceleration is 0 because there is a constant speed..

a = final speed - initial speed / time

final speed = initial speed ( since speed is constant)

therefore acceleration is 0

A copper rod of length 27.5 m has its temperature increases by 35.9 degrees celsius. how much does its length increase?(unit=m)
gavmur [86]
<h2>The increase in length = 1.87 x 10⁻²</h2>

Explanation:

When copper rod is heated , its length increases

The increase in length can be found by the relation

L = L₀ ( 1 + α ΔT )

here L is the increased length and L₀ is the original length

α  is the coefficient of linear expansion and ΔT is the increase in temperature .

The increase in length = L - L₀ = L₀ x α ΔT

Substituting all these value

Increase in length = 27.5 x 1.7 x 10⁻⁵ x 35.9

= 1.87 x 10⁻² m

A sculpture is suspended in equilibrium by two cables, one from a wall and the other
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Angle of cable 2 \theta=37.0\textdegree

Weight of sculpture W=5000 N

Generally the Tension from cable 2 T_2 is mathematically given by

   T_2sin37\textdegree=5000N

   T_2=5000N/sin37\textdegree

   T_2=8308.2N

Generally the Tension from Cable 1 T_1 is mathematically given by

   T_1=T_2 cos37\textdegree

   T_1=8308.2* cos 37\textdegree

   T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N
