You are driving a metric car that has a speedometer that displays in meters per second. When you look down at your speedometer,

you see that it reads 19.9 m/s, then 47.6 s later you look down and it reads 4.4 m/s. What is your average acceleration over those 47.6 s?

Answer:

0.33m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 19.9m/s

Final velocity  = 4.4m/s

Time  = 47.6s

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

     Acceleration  = \frac{v - u }{t}

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

 t is the time taken

    Acceleration  = \frac{4.4  - 19.9}{47.6}  

    Acceleration = -0.33m/s²

This is a deceleration

Alice kicks a 0. 25 kg soccer ball with 0. 5 N of force. What force does the ball exert on Alice’s foot as she kicks it? N.
leva [86]

The force exerted on Alice’s foot as she kicks the ball is 1.25 N.Force can be defined as the influence that can accelerate the object.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force can be defined as the influence that can accelerate the object. From Newton's Second Law of motion,

F = ma

Where,

F - force

m - mass = 0. 25 kg

a - acceleration = 5 N

Put the values in the formula,

F = 0.25 \times 5\\\\F = 1.25 \rm \ N

Therefore, the force exerted on Alice’s foot as she kicks the ball is 1.25 N.

Which is the result of using a machine?
Eddi Din [679]
Correct Answers is A.

The machines gives us some mechanical advantage. This means the mechanical average makes the work output greater than the work input
Simple most example is a lever. The force applied is smaller and the output work is larger as compared to input.

Option B cannot be true, as there must be a force to get some work done.
Option C and D are inverse of what a machine is designed for. A small force can be exerted through a large distance to have a large force exerted through a small distance. Common Example of this principle is a screw opener.

A ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere are all released from rest from the same height on an inclined surface, at the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²
  • where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.
  • The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh
  • The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.
  • The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2
  • Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.

2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;

I = mR²

The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.

How much work is done when a force of 15.0 newtons is used to lift a box 3.0 meters into the air?
denis-greek [22]

Added potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

or

Added potential energy = (weight) x (added height)

If you need to lift a 15N box 3m straight up, you have to increase its potential energy by (15 N) x (3 m) = 45 Joules .

Where is that added potential energy supposed to come from ?  You could use an electric winch, a steam engine, a gasoline-powered motor, thousands of hamsters running on little treadmills that are are connected to the main pulley somehow, or your own arm muscles.  But howEVER you do it, you have to provide <em>45 Joules</em> of WORK in order to increase the potential energy of the box by just that much.
