Answer:

Time seem to flow in only one direction because it's from entropy. In tiny physics, time is directionally neutral.

Answer:

objects that store memories heat up as the operate(computers and brains). heat(energy) generation increases entropy. entropy is a measure of disorder. entropy is an irreversible process, so the laws of thermodynamics(law 1. energy can't be created or destroyed law 2. the total entropy must increase) require that such objects can only run in one direction: from past to present

Answer:

-24.28571 rad/s²

29.57239 revolutions

3.91176 seconds

52.026478 m

Explanation:

$a_t$ = Tangential acceleration = -6.8 m/s²

r = Radius of wheel = 0.28

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 95 rad/s

$\theta$ = Angle of rotation

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

t = Time taken

Angular acceleration is given by

$\alpha=\frac{a_t}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{-6.8}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-24.28571\ rad/s^2$

The angular acceleration is -24.28571 rad/s²

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2^2}{2\alpha}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0^2-95^2}{2\times -24.28571}\\\Rightarrow \theta=185.80885\ rad=185.80885\times \frac{1}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow \theta=29.57239\ rev$

The number of revolutions is 29.57239

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-95}{-24.28571}\\\Rightarrow t=3.91176\ s$

The time it takes for the car to stop is 3.91176 seconds

Linear distance

$s=r\theta\\\Rightarrow s=0.28\times 185.80885\\\Rightarrow s=52.026478\ m$

The distance the car travels is 52.026478 m

Two people travel from Columbus to Cleveland, one by car at an average velocity of 90km/h, and one by plane at an average veloci

Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , their displacement may be equal .

Suppose the displacement is AB where A is starting point and B is end point .

The car is covering the distance AB by going from A to B on straight line . On the other hand plane goes from A to C , then from C to D and then from D to B . In this way plane reaches B from A on a different path which is longer than path of the car . In the second case also displacement of plane is AB . In the second case distance covered is longer but displacement is same that is AB .

1)the car's engine power is 44000W. Explain this number in a physical sense

Ratling [72]

Answer:

1) It expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) P = 20 W

3) h = 18 km

Explanation:

1) Power is the rate of transfer of energy.

⇒ Power = $\frac{Energy(or workdone)}{Time}$

i.e P = $\frac{E}{t}$

Thus a car's engine power is 44000W implies that the engine of the car can propel the car at this rate. This expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) m = 400g = 0.4 kg

t = 20 s

h = 100m

g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$
