A 2,000-kilogram car uses a braking force of 12,000 Newton to stop in 5 seconds. What is its initial speed of the car?

First, solve for the acceleration of the car. You know the mass of the car and the braking force, so you can use the equation Force = Mass x Acceleration. This gives you 12,000 = 2,000 x A. Divide 12,000 by 2,000 to find the acceleration equal to 6 m/s^2. This is the rate that the car is slowing down at. Velocity is equal to accleration x time (rate x time), so you multiply 6 by the time of 5 seconds. This leaves you with a velocity of 30 m/s or about 67.1 mph.

<u>Answer:</u> The initial speed of the car is 30 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Force is defined as the push or pull on an object with some mass that causes change in its velocity.

It is also defined as the mass multiplied by the acceleration of the object.

Mathematically,

F=m\times a

where,

F = force exerted on the car = 12,000 N

m = mass of the car = 2,000 kg

a = acceleration of the car = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

12000kg.m/s^2=2000kg\times a\\\\a=\frac{12000}{2000}=6m/s^2

  • To calculate the initial speed of the car, we use first equation of motion:

v=u+at

where,

v = final speed of the car = 0 m/s   (brakes are applied)

u = initial speed of the car = ?

a = acceleration of the car = -6m/s^2   (as the car is getting stopped)

t = time taken = 5 sec

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0=u+(-6\times 5)\\\\u=0+30\\\\u=30m/s

Hence, the initial speed of the car is 30 m/s

A concave mirror always forms a virtual image of a real object. O True O False
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

The spherical mirrors are the mirror that are a part of a sphere. Concave and convex mirrors are two types of spherical mirrors.

A concave mirror always forms real and inverted image. A convex mirror forms real and virtual images.

For concave mirror, the value of magnification is less that 1. Also, the focal length is negative for concave mirrors.

So, the given statement is false as a concave mirror always forms a real and inverted image. Hence, this is the required solution.

Crystal can ride her bike 10 miles in 2.1 hours. What is her velocity
masha68 [24]

Answer:

v = 4.76 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance traveled by her bike, d = 10 miles

The time of her travel, t = 2.1 m/s

The velocity of an object is defined as the distance traveled by the object to the time of travel. Therefore,

                          V = d/t   m/s

                              = 10 / 2.1

                              = 4.76 m/s

Hence, The velocity of her bike is, V = 4.76 m/s
