Answer:

The time it will take the car to travel the next 15 m is 1 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

time of motion, t = 2.4 s

initial distance traveled, d = 15 m

determine the constant acceleration of the car;

d = ut  +  ¹/₂at²

15 = 0  +  (0.5 x 2.4²)a

15 = 2.88a

a = 15 / 2.88

a = 5.21 m/s²

The velocity of the car at the end of the first 15 m

v - u + at

v = 0 + 5.21 x 2.4

v = 12.5 m/s

The time to cover the next 15 m;

d₂ = vt  + ¹/₂at²

15 = 12.5t  +  (0.5 x 5.21)t²

15 = 12.5t  +  2.61t²

0 = 2.61t²  +   12.5t   -  15

Use the formula method to solve the above quadratic equation.

a = 2.61

b = 12.5

c = -15

t = \frac{-b \ \ +/-   \ \ \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\t = \frac{-12.5 \ \ +/-   \ \ \sqrt{12.5^2 - (4\times 2.61 \times -15)} }{2\times 2.61}\\\\t = 0.9937 \ s \ \ \ or \ \ \ -5.78 \ s\\\\time \ can \ only \ be \ positive;\\\\t \approx \ 1\ s

Therefore, the time it will take the car to travel the next 15 m is 1 s.

A 15.0 kg turntable with a radius of 25 cm is covered with a uniform layer of dry ice that has a mass of 9.0 kg. The angular spe
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

 ω₂=1.20

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the turn table ,M= 15 kg

mass of the ice ,m= 9 kg

radius ,r= 25 cm

Initial angular speed ,ω₁ = 0.75 rad/s

Initial mass moment of inertia

I_1=\dfrac{M+m}{2}r^2

I_1=\dfrac{15+9}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2

I_1=0.75\ kg.m^2

Final mass moment of inertia

I_2=\dfrac{M}{2}r^2

I_2=\dfrac{15}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2

I_2=0.468\ kg.m^2

Lets take final speed of the turn table after ice evaporated =ω₂ rad/s

Now by conservation angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ =ω₂ I₂

\omega_2=\dfrac{0.75\times 0.75}{0.468}\ rad/s

ω₂=1.20

Suppose you want to to double a copper wire's resistance. To what temperature, in degrees Celsius, must you raise it if it is or
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

T=280.41 °C

Explanation:

Given that

At T= 24°C Resistance =Ro

Lets take at temperature T resistance is 2Ro

We know that resistance R given as

R= Ro(1+αΔT)

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

For copper wire

α(coefficient of Resistance) = 3.9 x 10⁻³ /°C

Given that at temperature T

R= 2Ro

Now by putting the values

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

2Ro-Ro=Ro αΔT

1 = αΔT

1 = 3.9 x 10⁻³ x ΔT

ΔT = 256.41 °C

T- 24 = 256.41 °C

T=280.41 °C

So the final temperature is 280.41 °C.

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant acceleration 44.1m/s^2 . The acce
ollegr [7]
The acceleration and distance is related to the following expression:
y=v0*t + a*t^2/2 ; v0=0 
y=44.1*100/2 = 2205m 
hence, the speed will be 
v=0 + a*t = 441m/s 
from that height it will just be subjected to the gravitational acceleration 
0=v_acc^2 -2g*y_free 
y_free = v_acc^2/2g = 9922.5m 
<span>y_max = y_acc+y_free = 441+9922.5 =10363.5m</span>

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Graph C

Explanation:

With the same force and more mass, the position in time will still be parabolic

i.e.  x = ½at², but the rate of acceleration will be lower so the position curve will be broader.

A cyclist is moving at a speed of 15 m/s. If the combined mass of the bike and person is 100 kg,
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity in kg and m/s, respectively. Therefore,

p = 100(15) so

p = 1500 \frac{kg*m}{s}
