What constant acceleration is required to increase the speed of a car from 20 mi/h to 51 mi/h in 3 seconds

Physics
1 answer:
sdas [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity

a = (51 - 20) / 3 = 10⅓ mi/hr/s

which should probably be converted to standard units.

10⅓ mi/hr/s(5280 ft/mi) / 3600 s/hr) = 15.15555... ≈ 15.2 ft/s²

which is roughly half the acceleration of gravity.

The bright yellow light emitted by a sodium vapor lamp consists of two emission lines at 589.0 and 589.6 nm. What are the freque
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

wavelength of emissions are

\lambda _1=589 nm

\lambda _2=589.6 nm

Energy is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

where h=Planck's constant

x=velocity of Light

\lambda=wavelength of emission

E_1=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{589\times 10^{-9}}

E_1=3.374\times 10^{-19} J

E_1 in kJ/mol

E_1=203.2 kJ/mol

frequency corresponding to this emission

\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu _1=\frac{3\times 10^8}{589\times 10^{-9}}

\nu _1=5.09\times 10^{14} Hz

Energy corresponding to \lambda _2

E_2=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{589.6\times 10^{-9}}

E_2=3.371\times 10^{-19} J

E_2=203.02 kJ/mol

frequency corresponding to this emission

\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu _1=\frac{3\times 10^8}{589.6\times 10^{-9}}

\nu _1=5.088\times 10^{14} Hz

Explain why a roller coaster’s second hill cannot be taller than the first hill.
max2010maxim [7]
There will not be enough momentum from the first hill to cross another hill if he same or larger size because of the way potential energy and kinetic energy works it will not be able go as high as it could go on he fist hill.

"A 78-year-old woman has a mean arterial pressure of 120 mm Hg and a heart rate of 60 beats/min. She has a stroke volume of 50 m
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

0.04 mm Hg / mL / min .

Explanation:

Arterial pressure = 120 mm Hg

right atrial pressure = 0 mm Hg

Drop in pressure due to peripheral resistance = 120 mm Hg

volume of cardiac output per minute = 3000 mL/min

total  peripheral resistance

= 120 / 3000 mm Hg / mL / min

= 0.04 mm Hg / mL / min .

A 1502.7 kg car is traveling at 33.1 m/s when
Bond [772]

By definition of average acceleration,

<em>a</em> = (20 m/s - 33.1 m/s) / (4.7 s) ≈ -2.78 m/s²

Vertically, the car is in equilibrium, so the net force is equal to the friction force in the direction opposite the car's motion:

∑ <em>F</em> = (1502.7 kg) (-2.78 m/s²) ≈ -4188.38 N ≈ -4200 N

If you just want the magnitude, drop the negative sign.
