What is the speed of a car traveling 100 m in 20 s?

Physics
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: To answer this question, we will need the following equation: SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME (A multiplication and division triangle will be shown)i) The speed of the car is calculated by doing 100 metres/ 20 seconds which gives us 5 metres per second. ii) Rearranging the equation earlier, we can make the distance the subject of the equation so that we get SPEED x TIME = DISTANCE. We worked out the speed and the time was given as 1 minute 40 seconds but we cannot plug in the numbers yet as the time has to be converted to units of seconds (because our speed is in meters per second). 1 minute 40 seconds = 60 seconds + 40 seconds = 100 secondsWe then plug in the numbers to get the distance travelled = 5 metres per second x 100 seconds = 500 metres.

Given a particle that has the velocity v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) meters, a. Find the acceleration at 3 seconds. b. Find th
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )  V = 3 cos(0.5t)

differentiating with respect to t

dv /dt = -3 x .5 sin0.5t

= -1.5 sin0.5t.

acceleration = - 1.5 sin 0.5t

when t = 3 s

acceleration = - 1.5 sin 1.5

= - 1.496 ms⁻²

v = 3 cos.5t

b )  dx/dt = 3 cos 0.5 t

dx = 3 cos 0.5 t dt

integrating on both sides

x = 3 sin .5t / .5

x = 6 sin0.5t

At t = 2 s

x = 6 sin 1

x = 5.05 m

A 1000 kg truck moving at 2.0 m/s runs into a concrete wall. It takes 0.5 s for the truck to completely stop. What is the magnit

Answer:

Momentum is given by

p

=

m

v

. Impulse is the change of momentum,

I

=

Δ

and is also equal to force times time:

I

This is called the impulse:

We can rearrange this expression to make

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.

(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)

The barrel of a rifle has a length of 0.89 m. A bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 620 m/s. What is the acceler
guapka [62]

Answer:

215955.06 m/s^2

Explanation:

length of barrel, s = 0.89 m

initial velocity of the bullet, u = 0 m/s

Final velocity of the bullet, v = 620 m/s

Let a be the acceleration of the bullet in the barrel

Use third equation of motion, we get

v^{2}=u^{2}+ 2as

620^{2}=0^{2}+ 2\times a \times 0.89

a = 215955.06 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the bullet inside the barrel is  215955.06 m/s^2.

Which of the following is an example of acceleration?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting the earth , a constant force is being applied on it which means it must has acceleration. Also the direction of satellite is always being changed when it is orbitting to there is always change in the velocity vector which means acceleration.

You can view in the attached diagram to understand how the velocity is being changed.
