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

Suppose you have a piston in a cylinder where the gas temperature is 26.0° C and has a volume of 1.75 L. What is the volume of t
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

1.62 L

Explanation:

Charle's law for ideal gases states that for a gas kept at constant pressure, the ratio between volume and temperature is constant:

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where in this problem we have

V_1 = 1.75 L is the initial volume of the gas

T_1 = 26.0^{\circ}+273=299 K is the initial temperature of the gas

V_2 is the final volume of the gas

T_2 = 3.0^{\circ}+273=276 K is the final temperature

Solving the equation for V2, we find

V_2 = \frac{V_1}{T_1} T_2 = \frac{1.75 L}{299 K}(276 K)=1.62 L

Two solenoids A and B, spaced close to each other and sharing the same cylindrical axis, have 430 and 610 turns, respectively. A
KIM [24]

Answer

given,

Two solenoids A and B

Number of turn

Na = 430 turns          Nb = 610 turns

Current = 2.80 A

Average flux through  A  = 300 μWb

Average of flux through B = 90.0  μ Wb

a) L = \dfrac{N \phi}{I}

   L = \dfrac{610\times 90 \times 10^{-6}}{2.80}

   L =19.6 mH

b) inductance of A

   L = \dfrac{N_A \phi_A}{I_A}

   L = \dfrac{430\times 300 \times 10^{-6}}{2.80}

   L =46 mH

c) magnitude of the emf

    \epsilon_B = -L_B\dfrac{dI}{dT}

    \epsilon_B = -(19.6\times 10^{-3})(0.5)

    \epsilon_B = -9.8\times 10^{-3}\ V

    \epsilon_B = -9.8\ mV

One speaker generates sound waves with amplitude A.
raketka [301]

Answer:

iv) It is 9x bigger than before

Explanation:

As the amplitudes of the new speakers add directly with the original one, taking into account the phase that they have, the composed amplitude of the sound wave is as follows:

At = A + 4A -2A = 3 A

The intensity of the wave, assuming it propagates evenly in all directions, is constant at a given distance from the source, and can be expressed as follows:

I = P/A

where P= Power of the wave source, A= Area (for a point source, is equal to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where is r is the distance to the source along a straight line)

For a sinusoidal wave, the power is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so the intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude also.

If the amplitude changes increasing three times, the change in intensity will be proportional to the square of the change in amplitude, i.e., it will be 9 times bigger.

So, the statement iv) is the right one.
