Answer:

Distance = velocity x time, so 10 m/s X 10 s = 100 m

Explanation:

If you accelerate at 2 m/s^2 for 10 seconds, at the end of the 10 seconds you are moving at a rate of 20 m/s.

V(f) = V(i) + a*t

Final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration x time

Your average velocity will be half of your final, because you accelerated at a constant rate. So your average velocity is 10 m/s.

Distance = velocity x time, so 10 m/s X 10 s = 100 m

Answer:

100 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Acceleration ( a ) = 2 m/s^2

Time ( t ) = 10 sec s

To find : Displacement ( s ) = ?

By 2nd equation of motion,

s = ut + at^2 / 2

= ( 0 ) ( 10 ) + ( 2 ) ( 10 )^2 / 2

= 0 + ( 2 ) ( 100 ) / 2

= 200 / 2

s = 100 m

Question 2 (10 points)

kenny6666 [7]

The force required to slow the truck was -5020 N

Explanation:

First of all, we find the acceleration of the truck, which is given by

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

For the truck in this problem,

v = 11.5 m/s

u = 21.9 m/s

t = 2.88 s

So the acceleration is

$a=\frac{11.5-21.9}{2.88}=-3.6 m/s^2$

where the negative sign means that this is a deceleration.

Now we can find the force exerted on the truck, which is given by Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where

m = 1390 kg is the mass of the truck

$a=-3.6 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

And substituting,

$F=(1390)(-3.6)=-5004 N$

So the closest answer among the option is -5020 N.

A small grinding wheel has a moment of inertia of 4.0*10-5kgm2. What net torque must be applied to the wheel for its angular acc

kvv77 [185]

Hi there!

We can use the rotational equivalent of Newton's Second Law:

$\huge\boxed{\Sigma \tau = I \alpha}$

Στ = Net Torque (Nm)

I = Moment of inertia (kgm²)

α = Angular acceleration (rad/sec²)

We can plug in the given values to solve.

$\Sigma \tau = (4 * 10^{-5})(150) = \boxed{0.006 Nm}$

A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 41.0 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows

dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms

For the beginning period

dN₀ / dt = λ N₀

58.2 = λ N₀

similarly

41 = λ N

dividing

58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N

N = N₀ x .70446

formula of radioactive decay

$N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }$

$.70446 =e^{-\lambda t }$

- λ t = ln .70446 = - .35

t = .35 / λ

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 5715

= .00012126

t = .35 / .00012126

= 2886.36

= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )
