A student is driving through a mountainous region where the road is at some times flat, at some times inclined upward, and at so

me time inclined downward. The student maintains a speed of 20 m/s on the roadway, but is required to make an emergency stop on the three sepearte occasions. On levels roadway, it takes 25 m to stop. On a downward-sloping roadway, it takes 40 m to stop. On an upward-sloping roadway, it takes 18 m to stop. Explain why the stopping distances are different. (Focus answer using work and energy, other concepts may be used as well but be sure work and energy are included.)

Answer:

Explanation:

It is frictional force of the ground that helps in bringing the vehicle to stop . In the process of stopping , negative work is done on the car by friction force to overcome its kinetic energy .

At levelled road , for stoppage

Kinetic energy of vehicle = Work done by frictional force . = friction force x displacement .

At upward slopping road , gravitational force acting downward also helps the vehicle to stop do friction has to do less work .

At upward inclined  road , for stoppage

Kinetic energy of vehicle = Work done by frictional force + work done by gravitational force  = (friction force + gravitational force ) x displacement .

Hence displacement is less .

At downward slopping road ,  friction has to do more work because friction has to do work against gravitational force acting downwards wards and kinetic energy of the vehicle  also .

At downward inclined  road , for stoppage

Kinetic energy of vehicle + work done by gravitational force  = Work done by frictional force = friction force  x displacement .

Hence displacement is more .

Triss [41]

Answer:

2.1406 ×10^6 m/sec

Explanation:

we know that energy is always conserved

so from the law of energy conservation

qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

here V is the potential difference  

we know that mass of proton = 1.67×10^{-27} kg

we have given speed =50000m/sec

so potential difference V=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}50000^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=13.045

now mass of electron =9.11×10^{-31}

so for electron

\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 13.045=2.1406\times 10^6 m/sec

so the velocity of electron will be 2.1406×10^6 m/sec

A glass capillary tube with a diameter of 8.5 mm and length 8 cm is filled with a salt solution with a resistivity of 2.5 ?m. Wh
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The resistance is 3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter of tube = 8.5 mm

Length = 8 cm

Resistivity = 2.5 m

We need to calculate the resistance

The resistance is equal to the product of the resistivity and length divided by the area of cross section .

In mathematical form,

R = \dfrac{\rho\times l}{A}

Where, \rho=resistivity

l = length

A = area of cross section

Put the value into the formula

R = \dfrac{2.5\times8\times10^{-2}}{3.14\times(\dfrac{8.5}{2}\times10^{-3})^2}

R=3526.32\ \Omega

R=3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega

Hence, The resistance is 3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega

If 3600 j of work is done in 3.0 s what is the power<br>0.00083W<br>1200W<br>3600W<br>11000W
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1200 W

Explanation:

Power is given by the ratio between work done and time taken:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t the time taken.

In this problem, W = 3600 J and t = 3.0 s. Therefore, the power in this exercise is

P=\frac{3600 J}{3.0 s}=1200 W
