A car slows down from speed of 72

Physics
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]2 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 72km/hr

Final velocity  = 0km/hr

Time taken  = 25s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;

           1000m = 1km

           3600s = 1hr

  72km/hr;

          1km/hr  = 0.278m/s

         72km/hr = 0.278 x 72  = 20.02m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;

       Acceleration = \frac{final velocity - initial velocity }{time}  

       Acceleration  = \frac{0 - 20.02}{25}   = -0.8m/s

The car  is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s

The trajectory of a projectile always ________________.
sattari [20]

Answer:

c) curves downward, below the initial velocity vector

Explanation:

A projectile is usually launched from a height, where it is launched with an initial velocity. From that point the gravitational force begins to act on the projectile causing it to decay. As time passes, the projectile advances but its height decreases. So its trajectory is curved downward, below the initial velocity vector.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Increasing until terminal velocity is reached

Explanation:

Provided the scream is a constant pitch at the source, Doppler effect will make the pitch increase as the velocity of the source towards the listener increases.

If R is the total resistance for a parallel circuit with two resistors of resistance r1 and r2, then . Find the resistance, r1,
Goshia [24]
For a parallel circuit with two resistors, the total resistance is calculated from the expression:

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2

We are given the total resistance, R, which is 20 ohms and R2 which is 75 ohms. We calculate R1 as follows:

1/20 = 1/R1 + 1/75
1/R1 = 11/300
R1 = 27.27 ohms
