Answer:

t = 2.97[s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equations, we must bear in mind that the positive sign of the acceleration value means that the car is increased its speed.

$v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2} +(2*a*(x-x_{o} ))$

where:

x - xo = 180 [ft]

a = acceleration [ft/s^2]

Vo = initial velocity = 53 [ft/s]

Vf = final velocity = 68 [ft/s]

Now replacing we find:

(68^2) = (53^2) + (2*a*180)

a = 5.04 [ft/s^2]

Now using the following equation:

$v_{f}=v_{0}+a*t$

68 = 53 + (5.04*t)

t = (68 - 53)/5.04

t = 2.97[s]

How many times farther is Proxima Centauri from the sun than is earth from the sun

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Of the three stars in the system, the dimmest - called Proxima Centauri - is actually the nearest star to the Sun. The two bright stars, called Alpha Centauri A and B form a close binary system; they are separated by only 23 times the Earth - Sun distance.

A book falls of the table and hits the floor. Is work done? Why?

morpeh [17]

<u>Yes, work is done when a book falls of the table.</u>

This is because:

When the book falls, it's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. As it reaches the floor down, this kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and sound energy due to the impact.

When a force is imposed on an object to cause displacement of that object, work is done on that object. For a force to do work on an object, there should be a displacement and this force should cause the displacement. So here, since the book falls from the table and causes the displacement of the book from the table to the floor. It is said that work is done.

Work can be given by the formula:

W = F • d

where F is the force and d is the displacement.

What is happening when two waves with identical crests and troughs meet?

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

When two waves meet in such a way that their crests line up together, then it's called constructive interference. The resulting wave has a higher amplitude. In destructive interference, the crest of one wave meets the trough of another, and the result is a lower total amplitude.

A clay vase on a potter's wheel experiences an angular acceleration of 5.69 rad/s2 due to the application of a 16.0-n m net torq

Digiron [165]

The equivalent of the Newton's second law for rotational motions is:
$\tau = I \alpha$
where
$\tau$ is the net torque acting on the object
$I$ is its moment of inertia
$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration of the object.

Re-arranging the formula, we get
$I= \frac{\tau}{\alpha}$
and since we know the net torque acting on the (vase+potter's wheel) system, $\tau=16.0 Nm$ , and its angular acceleration, $\alpha = 5.69 rad/s^2$ , we can calculate the moment of inertia of the system:
$I= \frac{\tau}{\alpha}= \frac{16.0 Nm}{5.69 rad/s^2} =2.81 kg m^2$
