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 .

Naily [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall show all given data in vector form and calculate the direction of force with the help of following formula

force F = q ( v x B )

q is charge , v is velocity and B is magnetic field.

Given B = - Bk ( i is  right  , j is  upwards  and k is straight up the page  )

v = v j

F = q ( vj x - Bk )

= -Bqvi

The direction is towards left .

a ) If velocity is down

v = - v j

F = q ( - vj x - bk )

= qvB i

Direction is right .

b ) v = v i

F = q ( vi x - Bk )

= qvB j

force is upwards

c ) v = - vi

F = q ( -vi x - Bk )

= -qvBj

force is downwards

d ) v = - v k

F = q( - vk x -Bk  )

= 0

No force will be created

e ) v =  v k

F = q(  vk x -Bk  )

= 0

No force will be created

A box is moving along the x-axis and its position varies in time according to the expression:
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

38.4 m/s

Explanation:

a) at t = 3.2s. x = 6 * 3.2^2 = 61.44 m

b) at t = 3.2 + Δt. x = 6*(3.2 + \Delta t)^2

c) As Δt approaches 0. We can find the velocity by the ratio of Δx/Δt

v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{x_2 - x_1}{\Delta t}

v = \frac{6*(3.2 + \Delta t)^2 - 61.44}{\Delta t}

v = \frac{6(3.2^2 + 6.4\Delta t + \Delta t^2) - 61.44}{\Delta t}

v = \frac{61.44 + 38.4\Delta t + \Delta t^2 - 61.44}{\Delta t}

v = \frac{\Delta t(38.4 + \Delta t)}{\Delta t}

v = 38.4 + \Delta t

As Δt approaches 0, v = 38.4 + 0 = 38.4 m/s
