A car is stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, it accelerates up

Physics
1 answer:
Marat540 [252]3 years ago

Answer:

a = 2.5 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{o} +a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 25 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (star from the rest)

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 10 [s]

25 = 0 + (a*10)

a = 25/10

a = 2.5 [m/s²]

A student examines a 20-meter long rectangular stream channel and takes the following measurements: width of stream = 4 meters,
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.

Explanation:

The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:

Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)

<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>

Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>

This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.

In a Little League baseball game, the 145 g ball enters the strike zone with a speed of 17.0 m/s . The batter hits the ball, and
VMariaS [17]

Hi there!

Impulse = Change in momentum

I = Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)

Where:

m = mass of object (kg)

vf = final velocity (m/s)

vi = initial velocity (m/s)

Begin by converting grams to kilograms:

1 kg = 1000g ⇒ 145g = .145kg

Now, plug in the given values. Remember to assign directions since velocity is a vector. Let the initial direction be positive and the opposite be negative.

I = (.145)(-20 - 17) = -5.365 Ns

The magnitude is the absolute value, so:

|-5.365| = 5.365 Ns

A top-fuel dragster starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of 42.0 m/s2. What are (a) the final velocity of the dragst
disa [49]

Answer:

a)  Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 75.6 m/s

b) Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 151.2 m/s

c) The displacement of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 68.04 m

d) The displacement of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 272.16 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion v = u + at

  Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

 Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

 Time = 1.8 s    

Substituting

  v = u + at

  v  = 0 + 42 x 1.8 = 75.6 m/s

Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 75.6 m/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

  Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

 Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

 Time = 3.6 s    

Substituting

  v = u + at

  v  = 0 + 42 x 3.6 = 75.6 m/s

Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 151.2 m/s

c) We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

  Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

 Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

 Time = 1.8 s    

Substituting

   s= ut + 0.5 at²

    s = 0 x 1.8 + 0.5 x 42 x 1.8²

    s = 68.04 m

The displacement of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 68.04 m

d) We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

  Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

 Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

 Time = 3.6 s    

Substituting

   s= ut + 0.5 at²

    s = 0 x 3.6 + 0.5 x 42 x 3.6²

    s = 272.16 m

The displacement of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 272.16 m

If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each
g100num [7]

Answer:

1.

Firstly removing off one strip and it leaves electrons behind, so the strip becomes positively charged.

2. The roll however is not negatively charged because it is "earthed " by the hand holding it, thus excess negatives repel each other away through the hand.

3.Tearing off the next strip and once more it leaves electrons behind, the new strip is also positively charged and will repel the first strip.

4. Then, tear two strips apart and one will leave electrons behind on the other. Meaning that one strip is positive and the other is negative and they will attract each other.

Suppose there are 100,000 atoms of a radioactive substance that has a ½ life of 10 minutes. How many atoms will remain after 40
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

c. 12,500

Explanation:

Original number of atoms = 100,000 atoms

Half- life  = 10min

Unknown:

The number of atoms that will remain after 10min  = ?

Solution:

The half - life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to decay by half.

    Time taken        Number of atom   half life

           10min             100000                   _

           20min             50000                    1

           30min             25000                    2

           40min              12500                     3
