Answer:

The value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Explanation:

Given;

maximum distance to be traveled by the car when the brake is applied, d = 450 ft

initial velocity of the car, u = 60 mph = (1.467 x 60) = 88.02 ft/s

final velocity of the car when it stops, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to solve for the deceleration of the car.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 88.02² + (2 x 450)a

-900a = 7747.5204

a = -7747.5204 / 900

a = -8.61 ft/s²

|a| = 8.61 ft/s²

Therefore, the value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Does a battery produce electric currents?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an electric current that can be used to do work.

A uniform rod of mass M and length L is free to swing back and forth by pivoting a distance x from its center. It undergoes harm
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is 0.7500 kg-m².

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.2 kg

Distance = 0.49 m

If the length is 1.1 m

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=\dfrac{1}{12}ml^2+mx^2

Where, m = mass of rod

l = length of rod

x = distance from its center

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{1}{12}\times2.2\times(1.1)^2+2.2\times(0.49)^2

I=0.7500\ kg-m^2

Hence, The moment of inertia is 0.7500 kg-m².

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The solution is:tan(θ) = opp / adj tan(θ) = y/x xtan(θ) = y 
Find x:
x = y/tan(θ) 
So x = 3/tan(π/6) 
Perform implicit differentiation to get the equation:
dx/dt * tan(θ) + x * sec²(θ) * dθ/dt = dy/dt 
Since altitude remains the same, dy/dt = 0. Now... 
dx/dt * tan(π/6) + 3/tan(π/6) * sec²(π/4) * -π/4 = 0 
changing the equation, will give us:
dx/dt = [3/tan(π/6) * sec²(π/6) * π/4} / tan(π/6) ≈ 12.83 km/min
