Answer:

$a = 16\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

When the velocity changes uniformly, the object has a constant acceleration. The acceleration, the velocities, and the distance are related by the equation:

$v_f^2=v_o^2+2ax$

Where:

vf = final velocity

vo = initial velocity

a = acceleration

x = distance

Solving for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f^2-v_o^2}{2x}$

The car travels a distance of x=200 m and the velocities are:

vo = 216 Km/h

vf = 360 Km/h

Both velocities must be converted to meters by seconds.

vo = 216 Km/h *1000/3600 = 60 m/s

vf = 360 Km/h *1000/3600 = 100 m/s

The acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{100^2-60^2}{2*200}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{10000-3600}{400}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{6400}{400}$

$\mathbf{a = 16\ m/s^2}$

Six baseball throws are shown below. In each case the baseball is thrown at the same initial speed and from the same height h ab

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

EXplained

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

change in potential energy = gain in kinetic energy

so as all he balls are throws from the same height thus the change in potential energy is the same for all the balls thus the gain in kinetic energy is the same for all the balls and as they have the same initial velocity thus the final velocity is the same for all the balls.

child slides down a snow‑covered slope on a sled. At the top of the slope, her mother gives her a push to start her off with a s

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

θ = 13.7º

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the change in the kinetic energy of the combined mass of the child and the sled, is equal to the total work done on the object by external forces.
The external forces capable to do work on the combination of child +sled, are the friction force (opposing to the displacement), and the component of the weight parallel to the slide.
As this last work is just equal to the change in the gravitational potential energy (with opposite sign) , we can write the following equation:

$\Delta K + \Delta U = W_{nc} (1)$

ΔK, is the change in kinetic energy, as follows:

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}* m* (v_{f} ^{2} - v_{0} ^{2}) (2)$

ΔU, is the change in the gravitational potential energy.
If we choose as our zero reference level, the bottom of the slope, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

$\Delta U = 0 - m*g*h = -m*g*d* sin\theta (3)$

Finally, the work done for non-conservative forces, is the work done by the friction force, along the slope, as follows:

$W_{nc} = F_{f} * d * cos 180\º \\\\ = 0.2*m*g*d* cos 180\º = -0.2*m*g*d (4)$

Replacing (2), (3), and (4) in (1), simplifying common terms, and rearranging, we have:

$\frac{1}{2}* (v_{f} ^{2} - v_{0} ^{2}) = g*d* sin\theta -0.2*g*d$

Replacing by the givens and the knowns, we can solve for sin θ, as follows: $\frac{1}{2}*( (4.30 m/s) ^{2} - (0.75 m/s)^{2}) = 9.8 m/s2*25.5m* sin\theta -0.2*9.8m/s2*25.5m\\ \\ 8.56 (m/s)2 = 250(m/s)2* sin \theta -50 (m/s)2\\ \\ sin \theta = \frac{58.6 (m/s)2}{250 (m/s)2} = 0.236$ ⇒ θ = sin⁻¹ (0.236) = 13.7º

Explanation:

The statement is implying that if you do a certain amount of work, you're entitled to do a certain amount of work. Sometimes, work doesn't entitle you a reward.

What is the relationship between the voltage across the energy

STatiana [176]

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component. If two or more components are connected in parallel they have the same potential difference ( voltage) across their ends.
