Answer:

a = -1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 75 m/s

Vf = 25 m/s

t = 50 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

25 = 75 + 50a

---> a = -1 m/s^2

The temperature dependence of classical expression for electrical resistivity is

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The resistivity of materials depends on the temperature as ρt = ρ0 [1 + α (T – T0). This is the equation that shows the relationship between the resistivity and the temperature.

An arrow is shot upward from the roof of a building 75 m high with an initial speed of 40 m/s. If g = 10 m/s2 , what total dista

Elenna [48]

Answer:

60m

Explanation:

According to one of the equation of motions, v² = u²+2as where;

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

Since the arrow is shot upwards, the body will experience a negative acceleration due to gravity i.e a = -g

Therefore our equation will become;

v² = u² - 2gS

Given u = 40m/s, g = 10m/s², S = 75m

Substituting to get the final velocity of the arrow we will have;

v² = 40²-2(10)(75)

v² = 1600 - 1500

v² = 100

v = √100

v = 10m/s

Total distance traveled is speed of the object × time taken

Total distance traveled = 10 × 6

= 60m

The arrow has therefore traveled 60m after 6seconds

A jogger runs at a constant rate of 10.0 m every 2.0 seconds. The jogger starts at the origin and runs in the positive direction

Elis [28]

Answer:

(a) 25 m

(b) 75 m

Explanation:

Given that the jogger runs at a constant rate of 10.0 m every 2.0 seconds.

So, the speed of the jogger,

$v=\frac{10}{2}=5m/s\;\cdots(i)$

Let d be the distance covered by him in time, t s.

As distance=(speed) x (time)

So, $d=vt$

From equation (i)

$\Rightarrow d=5t\;\cdots(ii)$

As the jogger starts from origin, so, the distance, $d$ , also represents the position of the jogger at the time $t$ s.

The position-time graph has been shown.

(a) From equation (ii), for t=5.0 s

$d=5\times 5=25 m$

So, the jogger is at a distance of 25 m from the origin.

(b) Similarly, for t=15.0 s

$d=5\times 15=75 m$

So, the jogger is at a distance of 75 m from the origin.

What type of energy does a pv cell create ?

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: Solar Photovoltaic (PV) cells generate electricity by absorbing sunlight and using that light energy to create an electrical current. There are many PV cells within a single solar panel, and the current created by all of the cells together adds up to enough electricity to help power your school, home and businesses.
