Answer: Acceleration = 5m/s^2; Distance traveled = 320 m

Explanation:

Velocity of car = 40m/s

Time taken = 8 seconds

Acceleration = ?

Distance traveled = ?

A) Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time

i.e acceleration = velocity / time

acceleration = 40m/s / 8 seconds

Acceleration = 5m/s^2

B) To get how far the car traveled before stopping, obtain the distance from the formula:

velocity = distance traveled / time

40m/s = distance / 8 seconds

Distance = 40m/s x 8 seconds

Distance = 320 m

Thus, the car’s acceleration is 5m/s^2 while it traveled 320 metres before stopping.

In a domestic electric circuit (220.V),an electric kettle of 3kW power rating is operatedthat has a current rating of 4A. What r
kozerog [31]

Answer:

(i) It will take longer (75/22 times) the time to boil a given quantity of water compared to when the current is working at its rated capacity

(ii) The reasons are;

(1) For economy; most of the appliances in the home only require low power circuitry with thinner wire while a separate high power circuitry is created directly from the main supply for the high electric power rated appliances

(2) For safety; to prevent the over heating of the electric circuits when an high electric power appliance needs to be connected an high power electric power outlet has to be specified

Explanation:

(i) The power rating of the kettle = 3 kW

The voltage rating of the circuit, V = 220 V

The current rating, I = 4 A

The formula for electric power = I² × R = I × V

Therefore, we have;

Power produced = 220 V × 4 A = 880 V·A = 800 W

Hence, since the power produced is below the power rating of the electric kettle, it will take a longer time to boil a given amount of water than specified by the kettle manufacturer

The energy supplied H = V×I×t

Where:

t = Time in seconds

Therefore, we have;

3 kW = 3000 W;

3000 × t₁ = 880 × t₂

t₂/t₁ =3000/880 = 75/22

Hence the kettle will take 75/22 multiplied by the time it takes when working at rating capacity to boil a given quantity of water

(ii) This is so because the power consumption already factored in the electrical installation as well as the type of appliances utilized in the home allow for several low power rating consumption and few high power rating consumption

Therefore, for both economy and safety the electrical circuit are split to allow for the use of very thick copper or aluminium electric cables in the high power rating electric circuits to which can be plugged high electric power consuming devices such as the water heater and electric cooker

The low electric power consuming devices, such as the electric bulb and fans are connected to the low or "regular" power rating electric circuit outlets

The current required for high power and low power appliances is different and also the fuse rating required for both the appliances different, so two separate circuits are used for high power and low power appliances.

1. A baseball is thrown horizontally at 45 m/s. The ball slows down at a rate of 5 m/s?
meriva

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

initial velocity u = 45 m/s

acceleration a = - 5 m/s²

final velocity v = 0

v = u - at

0 = 45 - 5 t

t = 9 s

b )

s = ut - 1/2 at²

= 45 x 9 - .5 x5x 9²

405 - 202.5

202.5 m

2 )

a )

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

u = 0

s = 1/2 at²

= .5 x 9.54 x 6.5²

= 201.5 m

b )

v = u + at

= 0 + 9.54 x 6.5

= 62.01 m / s

3

a )

acceleration = (v - u) / t

= (34 - 42) / 2.4

= - 3.33 m /s²

b )

v² = u² - 2 a s

34² = 42² - 2 x 3.33² s

s = 27.41 m

c )

Average velocity

Total displacement / time

= 27.41 / 2.4

= 11.42 m /s

4 )

a )

v = u + at

v = 0 + 3 x 4

= 12 m /s

b )

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

= o + .5 x 3 x 4²

= 24 m

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20.00 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, how long is the ball in th
algol [13]

Answer:

1) The greatest height attained by the ball equals 20.387 meters.

2) The time it takes for the ball to reach 15 meters approximately equals 1 second.

Explanation:

The greatest height will be attained when the ball stop's in the air and starts falling back to the earth.

thus using third equation of kinematics we obtain the height attained as

v^2=u^2+2as

where

'v' is the final speed of the ball

'u' is the initial speed of the ball

'a' is the acceleration that the ball is under which in this case equals 9.81 m/s^{2}

's' is the distance it covers

Thus for maximum height applying the values in the equation we get

0=20^{2}-2\times 9.81\times h\\\\\therefore h=\frac{20^{2}}{2\times 9.81}=20.387meters

Using the same equation we can find the speed of the ball when it reaches 15 meters of height as  

v^2=20^{2}-2\times 9.81\times 15\\\\v^{2}=105.7\\\\\therefore v=10.28m/s

the time it takes to reduce the velocity to this value can be found by first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at\\\\t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\frac{10.28-20}{-9.81}=0.991seconds\approx 1second
