Answer:

no, when a plastic rod is rubbed with a duster, electrons are transferred from one material to the other. The material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. The material that loses electrons becomes positively charged.

The velocity time graph of a car shown below a) Calculate the magnitude of displacement of the car in 40 seconds. b) During whic

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) 0 metres

b) From time 0 s to 10 s , the car was accelerated. Its velocity accelerated from 0m/s to 20 m/s

c) 20 m/s

Explanation:

a) <em>Formula of displacement= velocity x time</em>

time=40 s

velocity =0 m/s

∴ displacement= 0 x 40 = 0 m

Magnitude of displacement is 0 m

b) The increase in velocity shows that there has been acceleration.

c) The average velocity of the car is = $\frac{0+40}{2\\}$ {initial velocity + final velocity}

= $\frac{40}{2}$

=20

Therefore, the magnitude of the average velocity of the car is 20 m/s

You're driving your new sports car at 80 mph over the top of a hill that has a radius of curvature of 540 m. What fraction of yo

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

75.84%

Explanation:

We were given Speed of the sports car, v as 80 mph , we can convert to m/s for unit consistency.

v=80mph= 35.76 m/s

The radius of curvature is given as , r = 540 m

✓ the normal weight can be denoted as Wn

✓ the apparent weight of the person can be denoted as Wa

Wn= normal weight= mg

Wa=apparent weight = (mg - mv^2/r)

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.8m/s^2

The apparent weightand normal weight has a ratio of

Mn/Ma= [mg - mv^2/r]/mg ........eqn(1)

If we simplify eqn(1) we have

Mn/Ma=[g - vr^2/g].............eqn(2)

Then substitute the given values

Mn/Ma=9.8 - [(35.76^2)/540]/ 9.8

=0.758×100%

Mn/Ma=75.84%

Hence, the required fraction is 75.84%

1)the car's engine power is 44000W. Explain this number in a physical sense

Ratling [72]

Answer:

1) It expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) P = 20 W

3) h = 18 km

Explanation:

1) Power is the rate of transfer of energy.

⇒ Power = $\frac{Energy(or workdone)}{Time}$

i.e P = $\frac{E}{t}$

Thus a car's engine power is 44000W implies that the engine of the car can propel the car at this rate. This expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) m = 400g = 0.4 kg

t = 20 s

h = 100m

g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$
