Acceleration is a change in speed or direction over time. In what two ways does the sled accelerate as it descends?

Answer:

By force and sloppy surface.

Explanation:

By applying force on the sled and slope of the path are the two ways the sled accelerate as it descends. If there is more friction between sled and the ground then force is required to push the sled to move downward while on the other hand, if the path on which sled moves is sloppy then it will move automatically without the use of force, so these two ways can accelerate the sled.

A car travels 8km in 7 minutes. Find the speed of the car.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

42.6083 mi/h

Explanation:

Given: A car travels 8km in 7 minutes.

To find: Find the speed of the car.

Formula: $Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

Solution: Since the formula for the speed of an object (which is the car) is speed = distance ÷ time, divide the distance (8km) by the time (7min)

Speed = 42.6083 miles per hour

What fills the void between stars and galaxies.

Lana71 [14]

Answer: The voids between stars in our galaxy can be filled with tenuous clouds of gas and other molecules. ... That material gets "ripped away" from the galaxies by the force of gravity, and often enough it collides with other material.

can you suggest improvement that can be made towards the design of siphon so that the transfer of liquid is much higher.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A siphon is a tube that makes use of the potential energy of fluid at an elevated level to transfer the fluid to a lower level, due to pressure differences between the inlet and the outlet points of the tube, such that the pressure at the outlet is higher than the pressure at the inlet

The pressure energy is converted into velocity (kinetic) energy, and therefore, in other to increase the flow rate through the tube of a siphon, with constant diameter, the level of the fluid in the container at the inlet (supply) of the siphon is raised higher than the level at the outlet receiving) container or the outlet point of the siphon tube

The larger the difference between the inlet and outlet levels, the faster the transfer of fluid by the siphon

To initiate a nuclear reaction, an experimental nuclear physicist wants to shoot a proton into a 5.50-fm-diameter 12C nucleus. T

Fantom [35]

Answer:

$V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Nucleus diameter $d=5.50-fm$

a 12C nucleus

Required kinetic energy $K=2.30 MeV$

Generally initial speed of proton must be determined,applying the law of conservation of energy we have

$K_2 +U_2=K_1+U_1$

where

$K_1$ =initial kinetic energy

$K_2$ =final kinetic energy

$U_1$ =initial electric potential

$U_2$ =final electric potential

mathematically

$U_2 = \frac{Kq_pq_c}{r_2}$

where

$r_f$ =distance b/w charges

$q_c$ =nucleus charge $=6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)$

$K$ =constant

$q_p$ =proton charge

Generally kinetic energy is know as

$K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Therefore

$U_2 = \frac{Kq_pq_c}{r_2} + K_2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2 +U_1$

Generally equation for radius is $d/2$

Mathematically solving for radius of nucleus

$R=(\frac{5.50}{2}) (\frac{1*10^-^1^5m}{1fm})$

$R=2.75*10^-^1^5m$

Generally we can easily solving mathematically substitute into v_1

$q_p$ $=6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)$

$K_1=9.0*10^9 N-m^2/C^2$

$U_1= 0$

$R=2.75*10^-^1^5m$

$K=2.30 MeV$

$m= 1.67*10^-^2^7kg$

$V_1= (\frac{2}{1.67*10^-^2^7kg})^1^/^2 (\frac{(9.0*10^9 N-m^2/C^2)*(6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)(1.6*10^-^1^9C)}{2.75*10^-^1^5m+2.30 MeV(\frac{1.6*10^-^1^3 J}{1 MeV}) }$

$V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s$

Therefore the proton must be fired out with a speed of $V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s$
