Answer:

126.56 m

Explanation:

Applying,

-F = ma............. Equation 1

Where F = frictional force, m = mass of the car, a = acceleration.

Note: Frictional force is negative because it act in opposite direction to motion

But,

F = mgμ.......... Equation 2

Where g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of friction

Substitute equation 2 in equation 1

-mgμ = ma

a = -gμ.............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: μ = 0.735

Constant: 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values in equation 3

a = -9.8×0.735

a = -7.203 m/s²

Finally,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 4

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, s = distance

From the question,

Given: u = 42.7 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to a stop), a = -7.203 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 4

0² = 42.7²+2(-7.203)s

-1823.29 = -14.406s

s = -1823.29/-14.406

s = 126.56 m

zzz [600]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

Sunspots are the spot that appears on the sun, this spot appears darker than the surrounding surface of the sun.

Sun magnetic field goes through a cycle and this cycle is called the Sunspot cycle. Every 11 years the magnetic field of the sun completely flips. This sunspot cycle affects activity on the surface of the sun.

Sunspot cycle is the pattern of solar activity where an average number of sunspot gradually increase and decrease.

Hence, the correct answer is option D

Please help! This is due tomorrow and I absolutely need help.
zysi [14]

Answer:

Correct answer:  11. Total distance d = 200m ; 12. Vav = 3.63m/s ;

13. Total displacement Dt = 0m ; 14. V₂(10s-15s) = 0 m/s ;

15. V₃(15s-40s) = 4 m/s ; 16. V₁(0s-10s) = 6 m/s > V₄(40s-55s) = 2.67 m/s

Explanation:

The whole movement can be divided into four stages.

In the first stage the subject moves 60m in a positive direction for 10s,

in the other it is stationary for 5s, in the third it moves 100m in the opposite (negative) direction for 25s and in the fourth in the positive 40m for 15s.

11. Total distance = 60 + 0 + 100 + 40 = 200m

12. The formula for calculating the average speed (velocity) is

Vav = (S₁ + S₂ + S₃ + S₄) / (t₁ + t₂ + t₃ + t₄)

Vav = (60 + 0 + 100 + 40)/ (10 + 5 + 25 + 15) = 200/55 = 3.63 m/s

13. The movement started from the origin and ended at the origin

Total displacement is zero meters.

14. The speed between 10s and 15s is zero, because he did not move.

15. V₃ = S₃/t₃ = 100/25 = 4 m/s

16. V₁ = S₁/t₁ = 60/10 = 6 m/s   and V₄ = S₄/t₄ = 40/15 = 2.67 m/s

V₁ > V₄
