A certain car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 s. What is the car's average acceleration in mph/s?

Physics

Answer:

<em>a = 7.6\ mph/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

Solving the equation [for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The car accelerates from vo=0 to vf=60 mph in t=7.9 s, thus the acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{60 \ mph-0}{7.9}

a = 7.6\ mph/s

A particle is confined to the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 1 nm. The potential energy U = 0 inside this region and U is infinite
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to heisenberg uncertainty Principle

Δx Δp ≥ h / 4π , where Δx  is uncertainty in position , Δp is uncertainty in momentum .

Given

Δx = 1 nm

Δp ≥ h /1nm x  4π

≥ 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 10⁻⁹ x  4 π

≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

h / λ ≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ /. 5254 x ⁻²⁵ ≥ λ  

12.56 x 10⁻⁹ ≥ λ

Which body is in equilibrium?
zloy xaker [14]

Which body is in equilibrium?

(1) a satellite orbiting Earth in a circular orbit .  No.  The forces on it are unbalanced.  There's only one force acting on it ... the force of gravity, pulling it toward the center of the Earth.  That's a centripetal force, and the satellite is experiencing centripetal acceleration.

(2) a ball falling freely toward the surface of Earth.  No.  The forces on it are unbalanced.  There's only one force acting on it ... the force of gravity, pulling it toward the center of the Earth.  The ball is accelerating toward the ground.  

<em> (3) a car moving with a constant speed along a  straight, level road.  YES.</em> We don't even need to analyze the forces, just look at the car.  It's moving in a straight line, and its speed is not changing.  The car's acceleration is zero !  That  right there tells us that the NET force ... the sum of all forces acting on the car ... is zero.  THAT's called 'equilibrium'.

(4) a projectile at the highest point in its trajectory.  No.  The forces on it are unbalanced.  There's only one force acting on it ... the force of gravity, pulling it toward the center of the Earth.  The projectile is accelerating toward the ground.
