Answer:

a= 17.69 m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 23 m/s

u= 0m/s

v= 23m/s

distance= 30m

Step two:

We know that

acceleration= velocity/time

also,

velocity= distance/time

23= 30/t

t= 30/23

t= 1.30 seconds

hence

acceleration= 23/1.30

accelaration= 17.69 m/s^2

A wind turbine has a total input power of 2 500 kW.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Output power = 500 KW

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Efficiency = 20%

Input power = 2500 KW

To find the output power;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; power}{In-put \; power} * 100$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

LET Output power = OP

$20 = \frac {OP}{2500} * 100$

Cross-multiplying, we have;

$20 * 2500 = OP * 100$

$50000 = OP * 100$

$OP = \frac {50000}{100}$

Output power = 500 KW

2. While standing near a bus stop, a student hears a distant horn beeping. The frequency emitted by the horn is 440 Hz. The bus

jarptica [38.1K]

Given Information:

Frequency of horn = f₀ = 440 Hz

Speed of sound = v = 330 m/s

Speed of bus = v₀ = 20 m/s

Answer:

Case 1. When the bus is crossing the student = 440 Hz

Case 2. When the bus is approaching the student = 414.9 Hz

Case 3. When the bus is moving away from the student = 468.4 Hz

Explanation:

There are 3 cases in this scenario:

Case 1. When the bus is crossing the student

Case 2. When the bus is approaching the student

Case 3. When the bus is moving away from the student

Let us explore each case:

Case 1. When the bus is crossing the student:

Student will hear the same frequency emitted by the horn that is 440 Hz.

f = 440 Hz

Case 2. When the bus is approaching the student

f = f₀ ( v / v+v₀ )

f = 440 ( 330/ 330+20 )

f = 440 ( 330/ 350 )

f = 440 ( 0.943 )

f = 414.9 Hz

Case 3. When the bus is moving away from the student

f = f₀ ( v / v+v₀ )

f = 440 ( 330/ 330-20 )

f = 440 ( 330/ 310 )

f = 440 ( 1.0645 )

f = 468.4 Hz

A bus slows with constant acceleration from 24.0 m/s to 16.0 m/s and moves 50.0 m in the process. (a) How much further does it t

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

(a) Bus will traveled further a distance of 40 m

(b) It will take 7.5 sec to stop the bus

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity of the bus u = 24 m/sec

And final velocity v = 16 m/sec

Distance traveled in this process s = 50 m

From third equation of motion we know that $v^2=u^2+2as$

$16^2=24^2+2\times a\times 50$

$a=-3.2m/sec^2$

(a) Now as the bus finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

So $v^2=u^2+2as$

$0^2=24^2-2\times 3.2\times s$

s= 90 m

So further distance traveled by bus = 90-50 =40 m

(b) Now as the bus finally stops so final velocity v= 0 m/sec

Initial velocity u = 24 m/sec

Acceleration $a=-3.2m/sec^2$

So time $t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-24}{-3.2}=7.5sec$

A Scooter travelling at 10m/s speed up to 20m/s in 4 sec.find the acceleration of scooter

stira [4]

Answer:

2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

Initial speed ( u ) = 10 m/s

Final speed ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 4 seconds

To find : Acceleration ( a ) = ?

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 10 ) / 4

= 10 / 4

= 5 / 2

a = 2.5 m/s²

Therefore,

The acceleration of the scooter is 2.5 m/s²
