Answer:

the distance between the stop signs is 120.7 m.

Explanation:

The car moved in three stages;

(1) It accelerates from rest at 2.0 m/s² for 6.2 seconds

(2) it moved at a constant speed for 2.5 s

(3) it finally decelerate at the rate of 1.5m/s²

(1) The distance moved by the car during the first stage;

s₁ = ut + ¹/₂at²

s₁ = 0 + ¹/₂ (2)(6.2)²

s₁ = 38.44 m

(2) The distance moved by the car during the second stage;

calculate the constant speed of the car,

v = u + at

v = 0 + 2 x 6.2

v = 12.4 m/s

The distance moved by the  car as it coasts for 2.5s: s₂ = vt

s₂ = 12.4 x 2.5

s₂ = 31 m

(3) The distance moved by the car during the third stage;

When the car stops, the final velocity is zero.

v² = u² + 2as₃

a = -1.5 m/s², since the car slowed down or decelerated.

0 = 12.4² + (2 x - 1.5)s₃

0 = 153.76 - 3s₃

3s₃ = 153.76

s₃ = 153.76 / 3

s₃ = 51.253 m

The total distance moved by the car from the start to stop = s₁ + s₂ + s₃

d = 38.44 m + 31 m + 51.253 m

d = 120.7 m

Therefore, the distance between the stop signs is 120.7 m.

The electron gun in a television tube is used to accelerate electrons with mass 9.109 × 10−31 kg from rest to 3 × 107 m/s within
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Electric field, E = 40608.75 N/C

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of electrons, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electrons, v=3\times 10^7\ m/s

Distance traveled, s = 6.3 cm = 0.063 m

Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron using third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2}{2\times 0.063}

a=7.14\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

Now we will find the electric field required in the tube as :

ma=qE

E=\dfrac{ma}{q}

E=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 7.14\times 10^{15}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

E = 40608.75 N/C

So, the electric field required in the tube is 40608.75 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.

A weather balloon is operating at an altitude at which the density of air is 0.90 kg/m^3. At this altitude, the balloon has a vo
Archy [21]

Answer:

54 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces acting on the balloon.  Buoyant force pushing the balloon up, gravity pulling the helium down, gravity pulling the balloon skin down, and gravity pulling the load down.

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

B − Wh − Wb − L = ma

When the load is at a maximum, the acceleration is 0:

B − Wh − Wb − L = 0

B − Wh − Wb = L

B − mh g − Wb = L

The mass of the helium is its density times its volume:

B − ρh Vh g − Wb = L

Buoyant force is defined as B = ρVg, where ρ is the density of the displaced fluid (in this case, air), V is the volume of the displaced fluid, and g is acceleration of gravity.  Since the volume of displaced air = the volume of the helium:

ρa V g − ρh V g − Wb = L

(ρa − ρh) V g − Wb = L

Given that ρa = 0.90 kg/m³, ρh = 0.178 kg/m³, V = 20 m³, g = 9.8 m/s², and Wb = 88 N:

(0.9 − 0.178) (20) (9.8) − (88) = L

L = 53.5 N

Rounded to 2 sig-figs, the maximum load that can be supported is 54 N.

The motion of a car on a position-time graph is represented with a horizontal line. What does this indicate about the car’s moti
vodka [1.7K]

Answer;

A.It’s not moving.

Explanation;

Position-Time graphs display the motion of a object by showing the changes of velocity with respect to time.

The motion of a car on a position-time graph that is represented with a horizontal line indicates that the car has stopped moving.

A straight line with a positive slope indicates that the car is moving at a constant velocity, and thus the slope is constant. On the other hand, a curve with a changing slope, shows that the velocity is changing.
