A competitive go-cart driver is traveling at a speed of 32m/s. He sees a caution flag go up and slows down at a rate of -1.5 m/s
djyliett [7]

Answer:

His final velocity is 15.8 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the driver is, u=32 m/s

Acceleration of the driver is, a=-1.5 m/s²

Time taken to reach final velocity is, t=10.8 s.

The final velocity is given using the Newton's equations of motion as:

v=u+at, where, v is the final velocity.

Now, plug in the given values and solve for v.

v=32-1.5(10.8)\\v=32-16.2=15.8\textrm{ m/s}

Therefore, his final velocity is 15.8 m/s.

The current in a toaster is 20 amps, and its voltage is 200 volts. What is the resistance in the toaster?
alukav5142 [94]
<span>Ohm's law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. 

V = IR
200 = 20R
R = 10 ohms</span>

A physical pendulum in the form of a planar object moves in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 0.680 Hz. The pendulum ha

Answer:

Therefore, the moment of inertia is:

I=0.37 \: kgm^{2}

Explanation:

The period of an oscillation equation of a solid pendulum is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{Mgd}} (1)

Where:

  • I is the moment of inertia
  • M is the mass of the pendulum
  • d is the distance from the center of mass to the pivot
  • g is the gravity

Let's solve the equation (1) for I

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{Mgd}}

I=Mgd(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}

Before find I, we need to remember that

T = \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.680}=1.47\: s

Now, the moment of inertia will be:

I=2*9.81*0.340(\frac{1.47}{2\pi})^{2}  

Therefore, the moment of inertia is:

I=0.37 \: kgm^{2}

I hope it helps you!
