What is the acceleration of a car initially traveling at -5m/s and reaching -22m/s in 3s.

Physics

Answer:

a=-5.67\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = -5 m/s

Final velocity, v = -22 m/s

Time, t = 3s

We need to find the acceleration of the car. The formula of it is given by :

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{(-22)-(-5)}{3}\\\\a=-5.67\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is -5.67\ m/s^2.

A pelican flying along a horizontal path drops a fish from a height of 4.7 m. The fish travels 9.3 m horizontally before it hits
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

(A) 9.5 m/s

(B) 5.225 m

Explanation:

vertical height (h) = 4.7 m

horizontal distance (d) = 9.3 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

initial speed of the fish (u) = 0 m/s

(A) what is the pelicans initial speed ?

  • lets first calculate the time it took the fish to fall

s = ut + (\frac{1}{2}) at^{2}

since u = 0

s =  (\frac{1}{2}) at^{2}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} }

where a = acceleration due to gravity and s = vertical height

t = \sqrt{\frac{2 x 4.7 }{9.8} } = 0.98 s

  • pelicans initial speed = speed of the fish

speed of the fish = distance / time = 9.3 / 0.98 = 9.5 m/s

initial speed of the pelican = 9.5 m/s

(B) If the pelican was traveling at the same speed but was only 1.5 m above the water, how far would the fish travel horizontally before hitting the water below?

vertical height = 1.5 m

pelican's speed = 9.5 m/s

  • lets also calculate the time it will take the fish to fall

s = ut + (\frac{1}{2}) at^{2}

since u = 0

s =  (\frac{1}{2}) at^{2}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} }

where a = acceleration due to gravity and s = vertical height

t = \sqrt{\frac{2 x 1.5 }{9.8} } = 0.55 s

 

distance traveled by the fish = speed x time = 9.5 x 0.55 = 5.225 m

A 2kg watermelon is dropped from a 4m tall roof a) use the appropriate kinematic equations to determine the instantaneous veloci
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

8.85m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the watermelon held before dropping is Ep=mgh=2*9.8*4=78.4J.

When it strikes the ground, all of its Ep will transfer into Ek, so 1/2*m*v^2=78.4.

We already knew that m=2, so insert that in, we will get the V^2=78.4 m/s, V=8.85 m/s

An electron (restricted to one dimension) is trapped between two rigid walls 1.40 nm apart. The electron's energy is approximate
Bumek [7]

Answer:

a)    n = 9.9       b)      E₁₀ = 19.25 eV

Explanation:

Solving the Scrodinger equation for the electronegative box we get

         Eₙ = (h² / 8m L²2) n²

where l is the distance L = 1.40 nm = 1.40 10⁻⁹ m and n the quantum number

 In this case En = 19 eV let us reduce to the SI system

          En = 19 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 eV) = 30.4 10⁻¹⁹ J

          n = √ (In 8 m L² / h²)

let's calculate

          n = √ (8  9.1 10⁻³¹ (1.4 10⁻⁹)²  30.4 10⁻¹⁹ / (6.63 10⁻³⁴)²

          n = √ (98)            n = 9.9

since n must be an integer, we approximate them to 10

b) We substitute for the calculation of energy

        In = (h² / 8mL2² n²

        In = (6.63 10⁻³⁴) 2 / (8 9.1 10⁻³¹  (1.4 10⁻⁹)² 10²

        E₁₀ = 3.08 10⁻¹⁸ J

we reduce eV

      E₁₀ = 3.08 10⁻¹⁸ j (1ev / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹J)

      E₁₀ = 1.925 101 eV

      E₁₀ = 19.25 eV

the result with significant figures is

        E₁₀ = 19.25 eV

If a battery causes a wire to carry a current of 4 Amps how many coulombs of charge flow past any point in the wire in 3 seconds
BabaBlast [244]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

According to above question ~

  • Current (I) = 4 Amperes

  • Time (t) = 3 seconds

  • Charge (q) = ?

Let's find the charge (q) by using formula ~

  • I =  \dfrac{q}{t}

  • 4 =  \dfrac{q}{3}

  • q = 4 \times 3

  • q = 12 \:  \: coulombs

Hence, 12 coulombs of charge flow past any point in the wire in 3 seconds
