Answer:

1.6875m/s²

Explanation:

$acceleration = \frac{final \: velocity \: - \: initial \: velocity}{time \: taken}$

a = unknown.

v (final velocity) = 27m/s

u (initial velocity) = 0m/s (as the car was stationary in the traffic lights).

t (time taken) = 18s

$a = \frac{27 - 0}{16}$

acceleration = 1.6875m/s²

hope it helps. :)

Answer:

The linear momentum of a particle with mass m moving with velocity v is defined as

p = mv (7.1)

Linear momentum is a vector . When giving the linear momentum of a particle you must

specify its magnitude and direction. We can see from the definition that its units must be

kg·m

. Oddly enough, this combination of SI units does not have a commonly–used named so

we leave it as kg·m

The momentum of a particle is related to the net force on that particle in a simple way;

since the mass of a particle remains constant, if we take the time derivative of a particle’s

momentum we find

dt = m

dt = ma = Fnet

so that

Fnet =

dt (7.2)

A car is moving at 20 m/s. The driver steps on the gas pedal and accelerates the car for 4 seconds at an acceleration of 4 m/s2.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

time of the car acceleration, t = 4 s

acceleration of the car, a = 4 m/s²

the final velocity of the car is calculated as;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

v = 20 + (4 x 4)

v = 36 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 36 m/s.

A solid cylinder with a mass of 2.72 kg and a radius of 0.083 m starts from rest at a height of 4.20 m and rolls down a 88.7 ◦ s

Bingel [31]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy ,

Potential energy = kinetic energy

$mgh = \frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} \times I \times \omega^{2}$

I = $\frac{mr^{2}}{2}$

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$

$mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{2} \times (\frac{mr^{2}}{2}) \frac{v^{2}}{r^{2}}]$

mgh = $[\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{4} \times mv^{2}]$

$g \times h = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}$

$9.8 \times 4.2 = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}$

v = 7.4 m/s

thus, we can conclude that the translational speed of the cylinder when it leaves the incline is 7.4 m/s.

What are two ways air resistance can be increased?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is said to have reached a terminal velocity.
