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.

Con lắc lò xo có độ cứng k = 100N/m được gắn vật có khối lượng m=0.1kg, kéo vật ra khỏi vị trí cân bằng 1 đoạn 5cm rồi buông tay
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The maximum velocity is 1.58 m/s.

Explanation:

A spring pendulum with stiffness k = 100N/m is attached to an object of mass m = 0.1kg, pulls the object out of the equilibrium position by a distance of 5cm, and then lets go of the hand for the oscillating object. Calculate the achievable vmax.

Spring constant, K = 100 N/m

mass, m = 0.1 kg

Amplitude, A = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Let the angular frequency is w.

w = \sqrt{K}{m}\\\\w = \sqrt{100}{0.1}\\\\w = 31.6 rad/s

The maximum velocity is

v_{max} = w A\\\\v_{max} = 31.6\times 0.05 = 1.58 m/s

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

C. Both A and B

Explanation:

Fuses are rated by the amperage they can carry before heat melts the element. The fuse is ideal for protection against short circuits. Short circuits produce enough amperage to vaporize a fuse element and break connection in one cycle of a 60-cycle system.

Specifically, the voltage rating determines the ability of the fuse to suppress the internal arcing that occurs after a fuse link melts and an arc is produced.
