In anticipation of a long 10o upgrade, a bus driver accelerates at a constant rate of 5 ft/s^2 while still on a level section of

a highway. Knowing that the speed of the bus was 80 mph as it begins to go up the hill and that the driver does not change the setting on his throttle or shift gears, determine the distance traveled (in miles) by the bus up the hill when its speed decreased to 50 mph.

Answer:

The distance (in miles) by the bus up the hill when its speed decreased to 50 mph is approximately 1.353 miles

Explanation:

The parameters of the motion of the driver are;

The upgrade of the road, θ = 10°

The rate of constant acceleration of the bus driver = 5 ft./s²

The speed of the bus as it begins to go up the hill, v₁ = 80 mph = 117.3228 ft./s

The speed of the driver at a point on the hill, v₂ = 50 mph ≈ 73.32677 ft./s

The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 32.1740 ft./s²

Therefore, we have;

The acceleration due to gravity down the incline plane, gₓ = g·sinθ

∴ gₓ = g·sin(θ) ≈ 32.1740 ft./s² × sin(10°) ≈ 5.587 ft/s²

The net acceleration of the bus, on the incline plane, a_{Net} = gₓ - a = 5.587 ft./s² -5 ft./s² = 0.587 ft./s²

The vertical component of the velocity, v_y = v × sin(θ)

∴ v_y = 117.3228 ft./s × sin(10°) ≈ 20.37289 ft./s

vₓ = 117.3228 ft./s × cos(10°) ≈ 115.5404 ft./s

The velocity of the car, v₂, on the inclined plane is given as follows;

v₂ = v₁ - a_{Net} × t

∴ t = (v₁ - v₂)/a_{Net}  = (117.3228 ft./s - 73.32677 ft./s)/(0.587 ft./s²) ≈ 74.95 s

The distance covered, 's', is given as follows;

s = v₁·t - 1/2·a_{Net}·t²

∴ s = 117.3228 × 74.95 - 1/2 × 0.587 × 74.95² ≈ 7144.6069 ft.

The distance travelled up the hill, s ≈ 7144.6069 ft. ≈ 1.3531452 miles ≈ 1.353 miles

How does the area of ​​0.3 m2 of iron change when heated from 20 ° C to 60 ° C?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The quantitative relationship between heat transfer and temperature change contains all three factors: Q = mcΔT, where Q is the symbol for heat transfer, m is the mass of the substance, and ΔT is the change in temperature. The symbol c stands for specific heat and depends on the material and phase. The specific heat is the amount of heat necessary to change the temperature of 1.00 kg of mass by 1.00ºC. The specific heat c is a property of the substance; its SI unit is J/(kg ⋅ K) or J/(kg ⋅ ºC). Recall that the temperature change (ΔT) is the same in units of kelvin and degrees Celsius. If heat transfer is measured in kilocalories, then the unit of specific heat is kcal/(kg ⋅ ºC).

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

-2.79 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20 m/s

v = 11 m/s

Δx = 50 m

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(11 m/s)² = (20 m/s)² + 2a (50 m)

a = -2.79 m/s²

Round as needed.
