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.

Suppose a ray of light traveling in a material with an index of refraction n a reaches an interface with a material having an in
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: C and D

Explanation: One of the first rule for total internal reflection to occur is that the ray must move from a dense to a less dense medium, hence refractive index of medium a must be greater than that of b.

When a ray moves from a dense to a less dense medium, the refracted ray moves away from the normal thus increasing the size of the angle of refraction (total internal refraction occurs when the angle of refraction is 90° and the angle of incidence at this point is known as the critical angle), hence the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.

These points verifies option C and D

What happens is a series circuit when you increase the number of bulbs?
Volgvan

The bulbs will produce lesser light than their capacity, In short they will be dimmer because the the energy will get divided in the number of bulbs.

Name the four fundamental fores at work inside an atom. Tell what each one does.​
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Four fundamental forces are gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak.

Explanation:

The gravitational and electromagnetic interactions, which produce significant long-range forces whose effects can be seen directly in everyday life and the strong and weak interactions, which produce forces at minuscule, subatomic distances and govern nuclear interactions.
