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}.

What do astronomers use in addition to parallax to find the actual distance of stars that are close to Earth?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

trigonometry (guessing)

Explanation:

ellipse: is the shape of an orbit : looks like an oval

periapsis : shortest distance between something like the moon and the planet its orbiting around like the earth

parallax is triangulation. like how gps works. looking at a star one day and then looking at it again 6 months later, an astronomer can see a difference in the viewing angle for the star. With trigonometry, the different angles yield a distance. This technique works for stars within about 400 light years of earth

https://science.howstuffworks.com/question224.htm

By comparing the intrinsic brightness to the star's apparent brightness we can calculate the distance of stars

1/r^2 rule states that the apparent brightness of a light source is proportional to the square of its distance.Jan 11, 2022

https://www.space.com/30417-parallax.html

alternative distance measurement for stars used by most astronomers is the parsec. A star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond has a distance of 1 parsec, or 1 parsec per arcsecond of parallax, which is about 3.26 light years

A wall has a negative charge distribution producing a uniformhorizontal electric field. A small plastic ball of mass .01kg carry
Sauron [17]

Answer:

a)  E = -4 10² N / C , b) x = 0.093 m, c)     a = 10.31 m / s², θ=-71.9⁰

Explanation:

For that exercise we use Newton's second Law, in the attached we can see a free body diagram of the ball

X axis

             F_{e} - T_{x} = m a

Axis y

            T_{y} - W = 0

Initially the system is in equilibrium, so zero acceleration

            Fe = T_{x}  

            T_{y} = W

Let us search with trigonometry the components of the tendency

            cos θ = T_{y} / T

            sin θ = T_{x}  / T

           T_{y} = cos θ

           T_{x}  = T sin θ

We replace

            q E = T sin θ

            mg = T cosθ

             

a) the electric force is

                F_{e} = q E

                E = F_{e} / q

                E = -0.032 / 80 10⁻⁶

                E = -4 10² N / C

b) the distance to this point can be found by dividing the two equations

                q E / mg = tan θ

                θ = tan⁻¹ qE / mg

Let's calculate

              θ = tan⁻¹ (80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01 9.8)

              θ = tan⁻¹ 0.3265

               θ = 18 ⁰

               sin 18 = x/0.30

               x =0.30 sin 18

               x = 0.093 m

c) The rope is cut, two forces remain acting on the ball, on the x-axis the electric force and on the axis and the force gravitations

X axis

           F_{e} = m aₓ

            aₓ = q E / m

           aₓ = 80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01

           aₓ = 3.2 m / s²

Axis y

           W = m a_{y}

           a_{y} = g

           a_{y} = 9.8 m/s²

The total acceleration is can be found using Pythagoras' theorem

             a = √ aₓ² + a_{y}²

             a = √ 3.2² + 9.8²

             a = 10.31 m / s²

The Angle meet him with trigonometry

               tan θ = a_{y} / aₓ

               θ = tan⁻¹ a_{y} / aₓ

               θ = tan⁻¹ (-9.8) / 3.2

               θ = -71.9⁰

Movement is two-dimensional type with acceleration in both axes
