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 electron is confined to a one dimensional region, bounded by an infinite potential. If the energy of the electron in its firs
OLga [1]

Answer:

The energy in its ground state is 10 meV.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of the electron in its first excited state is 40 meV.

Energy of the electron in any state is given by :

E=\dfrac{n^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}

For ground state, n = 1

E_1=\dfrac{\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(1)

For first excited state, n = 2

40=\dfrac{2^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

\dfrac{E_1}{40}=\dfrac{1}{4}

E_1=10\ meV

So, the energy in its ground state is 10 meV. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two students designed an experiment to study the effect of solar radiations on four cities of Earth. They used a globe to repres
Furkat [3]
Great experiment !  Everybody should try it if they can get the equipment. 
It demonstrates a lot of things that are very hard to explain in words. 

I hope the students remembered to tilt the axis of the globe.  If they didn't,
and instead kept it straight up and down, then each city had pretty much
the same amount of bulb-light all the way around, and there were no seasons.

If the axis of the globe was tilted, then City-D had the least variation in
seasons.  City-D is only 2° from the equator, so the sun is more direct
there all year around than it is at any of the others.
