Answer:

a = 0\ m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is defined as the change in velocity of an object, with respect to time. So, in order to produce and acceleration in any object, the velocity of that object must change. And, if the velocity of the object is not changing with respect to time, then the object is said to have a uniform motion. The acceleration of the object in such uniform motion is always zero. Because the change in velocity is zero.

acceleration = change in velocity/time\\acceleration = 0 / time\\acceleration = 0 m/s^2

Since, the car in this case is moving with a constant speed. Therefore, its acceleration will also be zero.

<u>a = 0 m/s²</u>

A box falls off of a tailgate and slides along the street for a distance of 62.5 m. Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2. At what
Mila [183]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the distance covered while moving from initial to final velocity

a is the acceleration

_____________________________________________

Given

box moved for distance of 62.5 m

Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2----> this statement means that there is deceleration , speed of truck decreases by 5 m/s in every second until the box comes to rest. Friction causes this deceleration.

thus in this problem

a = -5.0 m/s2

V = 0   as body came to rest due to friction deceleration

u the initial velocity we have to find

the initial velocity of box will be the same as speed of truck, as the box was in the truck and hence box will pick the speed of truck.

so if we find speed of box, we will be able get sped of truck as well.

using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\0^2 = u^2 + 2*-5* 62.5\\0 = u^2 - 625\\u^2 = 625\\\sqrt{u^2} = \sqrt{625} \\u = 25

Thus, initial speed with the truck was travelling was 25 m/s.

What is the unit of k (spring constant) in SI system?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

SI unit of k (spring constant) = N/m

Explanation:

We have expression for force in a spring extended by x m given by

         F = kx

Where k is the spring constant value.

Taking units on both sides

         Unit of F = Unit of k x Unit of x

          N = Unit of k x m

          Unit of k = N/m

SI unit of k (spring constant) = N/m

An automobile engine delivers 55.0 hp. How much time will it take for the engine to do 6.22 × 105 J of work? One horsepower is e
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

15.2 s

Explanation:

Convert hp to W:

55.0 hp × 746 W/hp = 41,030 W

Power = energy / time

41030 W = 6.22×10⁵ J / t

t = 15.2 s

Name five characteristics of a star that can be determined by measuring its spectrum. Explain how you would use a spectrum to de
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.

You are holding one end of an elastic cord that is fastened to a wall 3.0 m away. You begin shaking the end of the cord at 2.3 H
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Time take to fill the standing wave to the entire length of the string is 1.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given :

The length of the one end x= 3m, frequency of the wave f = 2.3 Hz, wavelength of the wave λ = 1 m.

Standing wave is the example of the transverse wave, standing wave doesn't transfer energy in a medium.

We know,

∴ v = fλ

Where v = speed of the standing wave.

also, ∴ v=\frac{x}{t}

where t = time take to fill entire length of the string.

Compare above both equation,

⇒   t = \frac{3}{2.3} sec

     t = 1.3sec

Therefore, the time taken to fill entire length 0f the string is 1.3 sec.
