At t=10 ~\text{s}t=10 s, a particle is moving from left to right with a speed of 5.0 ~\text{m/s}5.0 m/s. At t=20 ~\text{s}t=20 s

, the particle is moving right to left with a speed of 8.0 ~\text{m/s}8.0 m/s. Assuming the particle’s acceleration is constant, determine its average acceleration. Assume positive is on the right.

Answer:

a=6.5m/s^2 to the left.

Explanation:

We can use the equation v=v_0+a(t-t_0) where v is the velocity at time t and v_0 the velocity at t_0. Since we want the acceleration we write this equation as:

a=\frac{v-v_0}{t-t_0}

Considering the <em>direction to the right as the positive one</em>, we have v_0=+5m/s at t_0=10s, and v=-8m/s at t_0=8s, so we substitute:

a=\frac{v-v_0}{t-t_0}=\frac{(-8m/s)-(5m/s)}{(10s)-(8s)}=\frac{-13m/s}{2s}=-6.5m/s^2

Where the minus sign indicates it is directed to the left.

A roller coaster begins at the top of a hillIf it accelerates at the rate of 2m/s ^2 And has a mass of 2000kg, what net force is
Luden [163]

The correct answer to the question is : 4000 N

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the mass of the roller coaster is given as m = 2000 kg

The acceleration of the roller coaster is given as a = 2m/s2

We are asked to calculate the net force acting on the roller coaster.

From Newton's second laws of motion,we know that net external force acting on a particle is equal to the product of mass with acceleration of the particle.

Mathematically it is written as-

F = ma

Hence,net force acting on the roller coaster is calculated as-

F = 2000Kg×2m/s2

= 4000 N.

Here, Newton (N) is the unit of force.

Hence,net force acting on the roller coaster is 4000 N.

The speed is represented by
nordsb [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Instantaneous velocity is equal to speed of the object at that particular instant.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of the object at that particular instant. It is also equal to speed of the object at that instant. It can be calculated by drawing a tangent to the position-time graph at that point and finding the tangent’s slope.

The first option ‘The ratio of change in position to the time interval during that change’  gives the average velocity of an object and not speed. Similarly the second option ‘the absolute value of the slope of position time graph’ gives the average speed.

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a particle of mass 1.41 gg be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward
Yuri [45]

Answer:

q = 2.067 \times 10^{-5}\ C

Explanation:

Given,

mass = 1.41 g = 0.00141 Kg

Electric field,E = 670 N/C.

We know,

Force in charge due to Electric field.

F = E q

And also we know

F = m g

Equating both the equation of motion

m g = E q

q =\dfrac{mg}{E}

q =\dfrac{0.00141 \times 9.81}{670}

q = 2.067 \times 10^{-5}\ C

Charge of the particle is equal to q = 2.067 \times 10^{-5}\ C
