a bus is moving with the velociity of 36 km/hr . after seeing a boy at 20 m ahead on the road, the driver applies the brake and

the bus gets stopped at 10 m distance. Now, calculate acceleration as well as time taken by this bus to stop.​

Answer:

Assumption: the acceleration of this bus is constant while the brake was applied.

Acceleration of this bus: approximately \left(-6.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right).

It took the bus approximately 1.7\;\rm s to come to a stop.

Explanation:

Quantities:

  • Displacement of the bus: x = 10\; \rm m.
  • Initial velocity of the bus: \displaystyle u = 36\; \rm km \cdot hr^{-1} = 36\; \rm km \cdot hr^{-1}\times \frac{1\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{3.6\; \rm km\cdot hr^{-1}} = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.
  • Final velocity of the bus: v = 0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1} because the bus has come to a stop.
  • Acceleration, a: unknown, but assumed to be a constant.
  • Time taken, t: unknown.

Consider the following SUVAT equation:

\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{2}\, \left(a\, t^2\right) + u\, t.

On the other hand, assume that the acceleration of this bus is indeed constant. Given the initial and final velocity, the time it took for the bus to stop would be inversely proportional to the acceleration of this bus. That is:

\displaystyle t = \frac{v - u}{a}.

Therefore, replace the quantity t with the expression \displaystyle \left(\frac{v - u}{a}\right) in that SUVAT equation:

\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{2}\, \left(a\, \left(\frac{v -u}{a}\right)^2\right) + u\, \left(\frac{v - u}{a}\right).

Simplify this equation:

\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{1}{2}\, \left(a\, {\left(\frac{v -u}{a}\right)}^2\right) + u\, \left(\frac{v - u}{a}\right) \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{{(v - u)}^2}{a}\right) + \frac{u\, (v - u)}{a} =\frac{1}{a}\, \left(\frac{{(v - u)}^2}{2} + u\, (v - u)\right)\end{aligned}.

Therefore, \displaystyle a= \frac{1}{x}\, \left(\frac{{(v - u)}^2}{2} + u\, (v - u)\right).

In this question, the value of x, u, and v are already known:

  • x = 10\; \rm m.
  • \displaystyle u =10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.
  • v = 0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}.

Substitute these quantities into this equation to find the value of a:

\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{1}{x}\, \left(\frac{{(v - u)}^2}{2} + u\, (v - u)\right) \\ &= \frac{1}{10\; \rm m}\times \left(\frac{{\left(0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)}^2}{2} + \left(0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)\times 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)\\ &\approx -6.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

(The value of acceleration a is less than zero because the velocity of the bus was getting smaller.)

Substitute a \approx -6.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} (alongside u = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} and v = 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}) to estimate the time required for the bus to come to a stop:

\begin{aligned}t &= \frac{v - u}{a} \\ &\approx \frac{0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{-6.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} \approx 1.7\; \rm s\end{aligned}.

ANEK [815]

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction. The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is the right-hand thumb rule?</h3>

Hold a current-carrying conductor in your right hand with your thumb pointing in the direction of the current then wrap your fingers around the conductor and orient them in the direction of the magnetic field lines.

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction.

The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page.

Hence, option B is correct.

A 600g toy train completes 10 laps of its circular track in 1 min 20s. If the radius of the track is 1.2 m, Find the centripetal
Lynna [10]

Wow !  This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.

The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is

                          (speed-squared)  /  (radius of the circle)  .

Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.

We know the radius of the track.  We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out.  That's what we
need to do first.

Speed  =  (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).

Distance = 10 laps of the track.   Well how far is that ? ? ?

1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) =  2.4π  meters

10 laps =  24π  meters.

Time = 1 minute 20 seconds  =  80 seconds

The trains speed is  (distance) / (time)

                               =  (24π meters) / (80 seconds)

                               =        0.3 π  meters/second .

NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.

                                 <span> (speed)²  /  (radius)

                           =    (0.3π m/s)²  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π m²/s²)  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π  /  1.2)   m/s²

                           =          0.236  m/s²  .        (rounded)

If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...

Well,       Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .

We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force.       </span>

You are traveling in a car toward a hill at a speed of 36.4 mph. The car's horn emits sound waves of frequency 231 Hz, which mov
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

<em>a. The frequency with which the waves strike the hill is 242.61 Hz</em>

<em>b. The frequency of the reflected sound wave is 254.23 Hz</em>

<em>c. The beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is  </em>

<em>    11.62 Hz</em>

Explanation:

Part A

The car is the source of our sound, and the frequency of the sound wave it emits is given as 231 Hz. The speed of sound given can be used to determine the other frequencies, as expressed below;

f_{1} = f[\frac{v_{s} }{v_{s} -v} ] ..............................1

where f_{1} is the frequency of the wave as it strikes the hill;

f is the frequency of the produced by the horn of the car = 231 Hz;

v_{s} is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 36.4 mph

Converting the speed of the car from mph to m/s we have ;

hint (1 mile = 1609 m, 1 hr = 3600 secs)

v = 36.4 mph *\frac{1609 m}{1 mile} *\frac{1 hr}{3600 secs}

v = 16.27 m/s

Substituting into equation 1 we have

f_{1} =  231 Hz (\frac{340 m/s}{340 m/s - 16.27 m/s})

f_{1}  = 242.61 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency which the wave strikes the hill is 242.61 Hz.

Part B

At this point, the hill is the stationary point while the driver is the observer moving towards the hill that is stationary. The frequency of the sound waves reflecting the driver can be obtained using equation 2;

f_{2} = f_{1} [\frac{v_{s}+v }{v_{s} } ]

where f_{2} is the frequency of the reflected sound;

f_{1}  is the frequency which the wave strikes the hill = 242.61 Hz;

v_{s} is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 16.27 m/s.

Substituting our values into equation 1 we have;

f_{2} = 242.61 Hz [\frac{340 m/s+16.27 m/s }{340 m/s } ]

f_{2}  = 254.23 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency of the reflected sound is 254.23 Hz.

Part C

The beat frequency is the change in frequency between the frequency of the direct sound  and the reflected sound. This can be obtained as follows;

Δf = f_{2} -  f_{1}  

The parameters as specified in Part A and B;

Δf = 254.23 Hz - 242.61 Hz

Δf  = 11.62 Hz

Therefore the beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is 11.62 Hz

S Problem Set<br> 2.) 6.4 x 109 nm to cm
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

6.4\cdot 10^2 cm

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert from nanometres to metres, keeping in mind that

1 nm = 10^{-9} m

So we have:

6.4\cdot 10^9 nm \cdot 10^{-9} m/nm = 6.4 m

Now we can convert from metres to centimetres, keeping in mind that

1 m = 10^2 cm

So, we find:

6.4 m \cdot 10^2 cm/m = 6.4\cdot 10^2 cm

<h3>What is the potential across the capacitor?</h3>

Question Parameters:

A 1. 0 μf capacitor is being charged by a 9. 0 v battery through a 10 mω resistor.

at

  • t = 1.0 seconds
  • 5.0 seconds
  • 20.0 seconds.

Generally, the equation for the Voltage is mathematically given as

v(t)=Vmax=(i-e^{-t/t})

Therefore

For t=1

V=5(i-e^{-1/10})

t=0.476v

For t=5s

V2=5(i-e^{-5/10})

t=1.967

For t=20s

V2=5(i-e^{-20/10})

V2=4.323v

Therefore, the values of voltages at the various times are

  • t=0.476v
  • t=1.967v
