A car has uniformly accelerated from rest to a speed of 25m/s after traveling 75m. What is its acceleration in m/s^2
Roman55 [17]
<h2><em>So there is two truths given. After an amount of time Ttotal (lets call it ‘t’): </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>The car’s speed is 25m/s </em></h2><h2><em>The distance travelled is 75m </em></h2><h2><em>Then we have the formulas for speed and distance: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>v = a x t -> 25 = a x t </em></h2><h2><em>s = 0.5 x a x t^2 -> 75 = 0.5 x a x t^2 </em></h2><h2><em>Now, we know that both acceleration and time equal for both truths. So we can say: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>t = 25 / a </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = 75 / (0.5 x a) = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em>Since we don’t want to use square root at 2) we go squared for 1): </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = (25 / a) ^2 = 625 / a^2 </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em>Since t has the same value for both truths we can say: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>625 / a^2 = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>Thus multiply both sides with a^2: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>625 = 150 x a, so a = 625 / 150 = 4.17 </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>We can now calculate t as well t = 25 * 150 / 625 = 6</em></h2>

What is the weight of a 5.00 kg object on Earth? Assume g=9.81 m/s^2.
Softa [21]

<em>weight = (mass) x (gravity)</em>

Weight = (5.00 kg) x (9.81 m/s²)

weight = (5.00 x 9.81) (kg-m/s²)

<em>Weight = 49.05 Newton</em>

In which one of the following situations does a car have a WESTWARD acceleration? The car travels westward and slows down. The c
DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Let east direction is negative and west direction is positive. The acceleration of an object is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

Where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

t is the time taken

As the car decelerates, the final speed of the car is less as compared to the initial speed. As a result, its acceleration is negative. It means the car travels eastward and slows down. Hence, this is the required solution.

An electric fan has the power output of 60W. How much work is done if the fan operates for 120s?
Digiron [165]
Since power = work done/time, 60= work done/120, work done = 120*60 = 7200. So,work done = 7200N (Newton). 
I'm not sure if you're supposed to convert the seconds to time.
