Komok [63]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Acceleration

Explanation:

The advertisement is describing the acceleration of the car.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. It can be expressed mathematically as;

 Acceleration  = \frac{v  - u}{t}  

 v is the final velocity

 u is the initial velocity

 t is the time taken

 Any quantity that specifies the rate of change of velocity of a body within a given time frame is describing its acceleration.

A proton with a speed of 3.000×105 m/s has a circular orbit just outside a uniformly charged sphere of radius 7.00 cm. What is t
Rama09 [41]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. The kinetic energy in the object must be maintained and transformed into the potential electrostatic energy. Therefore mathematically

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}

Here,

m = mass (At this case of the proton)

v = Velocity

k = Coulomb's constant

q_{1,2} = Charge of each object

r= Distance between them

Rearranging to find the second charge we have that

q_2 = \frac{\frac{1}{2} mv^2 r}{kq_1}

Replacing,

q_2 = \frac{\frac{1}{2}(1.67*10^{-27})(3*10^5)^2(7*10^{-2})}{(9*10^9)(1.6*10^{-19})}

q_2 = 3.6531nC

Therefore the charge on the sphere is 3.6531nC

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?
OLEGan [10]
This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.

Two hockey pucks, labeled A and B, are initially at rest on asmooth ice surface and are separated by a distance of18.0 m. Simult
zlopas [31]

Answer:

8.505 m

Explanation:

Let V1 and V2 be velocities of puck A and B respectively

Since A and B move in the same direction, so the relative velocity will be V1+V2=3.5+3.9=7.4m/s

Or

Vr=7.4 m/s

Distance=S= 18 m

Time =t=?

S=Vr×t

==> t=S/Vr

==> t= 18/7.4=2.43 sec

At this time both will strike together

<em><u>Distance by puck A</u></em>

<em>V1=3.5 m/s</em>

Time=t= 2.43 sec

Distance covered=d=?

d=V1×t=3.5×2.43=8.505 m

So, puck A will cover 8.505 meters before collision
