A car sets off from the traffic lights. It reaches a speed of 27 m/s in 18 seconds. What is its acceleration?

Physics
1 answer:
Katarina [22]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1.6875m/s²

Explanation:

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

<em> </em><em>a </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>unknown.</em>

<em>v </em><em>(</em><em>final </em><em>velocity)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>7</em><em>m</em><em>/</em><em>s</em>

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

<em>t </em><em>(</em><em>time </em><em>taken)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>s</em>

<em>a =  \frac{27 - 0}{16}</em>

<em>acceleration</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1.6875</em><em>m</em><em>/</em><em>s²</em>

hope it helps. :)

A person pulls a crate of mass M = 63 kg a distance 40.0 m along a horizontal floor by a constant force FP = 130 N, which acts a
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Check attachment for solution and diagrams

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of crate m=63kg

Distance travelled d=40m

Horizontal force Fx=130N

Angle the force applied on cord makes with horizontal is θ=23°.

The weight of the crate is given by

W=mg

W=63×9.81

W=618.03N

Horizontal force Fx=130N

Resolving the applied Force F to the horizontal will give

Fx=FCos θ

F=Fx/Cos θ

F=130/Cos23

F=141.2N

a. Check attachment for model diagram

b. Check attachment for free body diagram

c. Check attachment for pictorial representation

d. Work done by gravitational force.

We, know that the body did not move upward, then the distance d=0

Work done is given as

W=F×d

So, d=0

W=F×0

W=0J

So, no work is done by gravity

e. Normal force?

Using newton law of motion

ΣFy = may

Since the body is not moving upward, then ay=0m/s²

N+141.2Sin23-618.03=0

N=618.03-141.2Sin23

N=562.86N

f. Work done by normal force.

The body is not moving upward, then the distance is zero

d=0

Work done by normal=normal force × distance

Wn=562.86×0

Wn=0J

No work is done by the normal force

g. Frictional force?

Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is zero, then the surface is frictionless

So, no frictional force is acting on the body

Fictional force is given as

Fr=μk•N

Given that, μk=0

Fr=0×562.86

Fr=0N

d. Work done by frictional force?

Since the frictional force Is zero, then, no work is done by friction

W(friction ) = frictional force × d

Here, the body moved a distance of 40m

W(fr)=0×40

W(fr)=0J

No work is done by friction

I. Work done by exerted force

The horizontal component of the exerted force is 130N and the body traveled a distance of 40m

Then, work done is given as

Workdone=force ×distance

Work done=130×40

W=5200J

W=5.2KJ

h. Net workdone?

Since no work is lost by friction, then, the net work done is equal to the work done by the exerted force.

Went, = work done by force exerted - work done by friction

Wnet=5200-0

Wnet, =5200

Wnet=5.2KJ

What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?
alexira [117]

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R  

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

    =  15 V

1. Spring force is proportional to stretch distance, F=kd. Do you expect doubling the stretch distance double the force?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The spring force is given as:

          F  = kd

F is the spring force

K is the spring constant

d is the magnitude of the stretch

 Since k is a constant, therefore, doubling the stretch distance will double the force.

Both stretch distance and force applied can be said to be directly proportional to one another.

Future space stations could create an artificial gravity by rotating. Consider a cylindrical space station that rotates with a p
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

P = 2 pi R / v    period of space station

F / m = v^2 / R    centripetal force per unit of mass

So F / m = 4 pi^2 R^2 / (P^2 * R) = 4 pi^2 R / P^2

Also, F / m = 9.8 m/s^2   earth's gravitational attraction

So 9.8 = 4 pi^2 R / P^2    or    R = 9.8 P^2 / 4 * pi^2) = 195 m

Or D = 2 R = 390 m the diameter required
