A car is traveling at 75 m/s. 50 seconds later it is traveling at 25 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?

Physics
1 answer:
scoray [572]3 years ago
5 0

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

A 0.10 kg baseball travelling at 40 m s−1 hits straight back to the pitcher at 55 m s−1. The contact time is 0.01 seconds. What
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

1.5 kgms⁻¹

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as "<em>mass in motion</em>."  

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two factors

  • mass of the moving object  
  • speed of motiom 

when there is a change in the velocity , it creates a change in momentum also

when we consider that we can mathematically show this,In terms of an equation,

Change in momentum    (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

where (Δv) - change in velocity

<em>(Δv) = final velocity - initial velocity</em>

Change in momentum (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

                                             = 0.1×([55-40])

                                             = 1.5 kgms⁻¹

A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is   F  =  137.2 kN

The location of pressure center is  Z  = 1.333 \ m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the gate is  h =  3 \ m

     The weight of the gate is  w =  7 \  m

      The height of the water is  h_w  =  2 \ m

       The density of water is \rho_w  =  1000 \ kg/m^3

Note used h_w for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water  is mathematically represented as

         A =  h_w  * w

substituting values

         A =  2*  7

         A =  14  \ m^2

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

          F  =  \rho_w * g * h_f * A

Where

            h_f =h-  h_w

           h_f =3 -2

           h_f = 1\ m  

So  

              F  =  1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14

            F  =  137.2 kN

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

        Z  =  h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}

Where I_g is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

            I_g =  \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}

The h_w is the height of gate immersed in water

            I_g =  \frac{7  * 2^2 }{12}

             I_g = 4.667\ kg  m^2

Thus  

        Z  = 1  + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}

        Z  = 1.333 \ m

A 0.20 kg mass is oscillating at a small angle from a light string with a period of 0.78 s.
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

L = 15 cm

Explanation:

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = g(T/2π)²

L = 9.8(0.78/2π)²

L = 0.151027... m

L = 15 cm

What is the difference between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium, Se, and the number of electrons in an atom of alu
Oxana [17]
Well, electrons can be converted into a atomic number so if SE atomic number is 34 that means it has 34 electrons. AI has a atomic number of 13 meaning it has 13 electrons.

So the difference is that SE has more electrons then AI.

Hope this helped. :D

The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator will be doubled by:a) doubling only the initial speedb) doubling the initial displ
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When both initial speed and initial displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Explanation:

Given that :- Amplitude of simple harmonic Oscillator  is doubled.

So,

     Formula of Simple harmonic oscillator is  X=A\sin\ (2\pi ft +\phi)  ...........(1)

                                                            Where X = Position in (m,cm,km.....)

                                                                        A = Amplitude  in (m,cm,km.....)

                                                                        F = Frequency in (Hz)

                                                                        T = Time in (sec.)

                                                                        Ф = Phase in (rad)

  For initial displacement taking t=0 we get,

                          Initial displacement = A\sin(\phi)    .................(2)            

Now taking equation (1) and differentiating it w.r.t to (t) we get

                                \frac{dx}{dt} = 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)

                                 V= 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)

taking t=0 for initial speed then we get,

                                Initial speed = 2\pi fA\cos\phi    ...............(3)

observing equation (2) & (3) that the initial displacement and initial speed depends on the Amplitude of the Oscillator.

Hence,

when both initial speed and displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.
