-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.
-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.
-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s
-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s
= <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________
The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:
Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²
= (1/2) · (8 m/s²) · (30 sec)²
= (4 m/s²) · (900 sec²)
= 3600 meters.

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.
When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.
How does he do that ?
By accelerating at 8 m/s². That's about 0.82 G !
He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !
He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
Answer:
12.7m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of diver = 77kg
Height of jump = 8.18m
Unknown:
Final velocity = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply the motion equation below:
v² = u² + 2gH
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity
H is the height
Now insert the parameters and solve;
v² = 0² + 2 x 9.8 x 8.18
v = 12.7m/s
The equivalent resistance of several devices connected in parallel is given by
where
are the resistances of the various devices. We can see that every time we add a new device in parallel, the term
increases, therefore the equivalent resistance of the circuit
decreases.
But Ohm's law:
tells us that if the equivalent resistance decreases, the total current in the circuit increases. The power dissipated through the circuit (and so, the heat produced) depends on the square of the current:
therefore if there are too many devices connected in parallel, this can be a problem because there could be too much power dissipated (and too much heat) through the circuit.
Answer:
convex lens
Explanation:
An image is form in retina with light rays converging most at cornea and upon entering and existing the lens.Rays from top and bottom of the object are traced and produce an inverted image on the retina
