Answer:

96 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial velocity ( u ) = 4 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 8 s

Let Acceleration be " a ".

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 4 ) / 8

= 16 / 8

a = 2 m/s²

Let displacement be " s ".

Formula : -

s = ut + at² / 2

s = ( 4 ) ( 8 ) + ( 2 ) ( 8² ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 64 ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 32 )

= 32 + 64

s = 96 m

Therefore, it travels 96 m in time 8 s.

DISCUSS THE PROCESS OF MAKING SILAGE.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Silage can be made by one or more of the following methods: placing cut green vegetation in a silo or pit; piling the vegetation in a large heap and compressing it down so as to purge as much oxygen as possible, then covering it with a plastic sheet; or by wrapping large round bales tightly in plastic film.

A car with mass 1500 kg moves with constant velocity of 36 m/s. The driver sees a group of cows in front and he immediately step

Crazy boy [7]

From laws of motion:

$S = ( \frac{v + u}{2} ) \times t$
Where S is the distance/displacement (as you would call it) which is unknown
v = final velocity which is 0m/s (this is because the car stops)
u = initial velocity which is 36m/s (from the data given)
t = time taken for the distance to be covered and it is 6s

Substitute the values, hence:
$S = ( \frac{0 + 36}{2} ) \times 6$
$S = (18) \times 6 \\ \\ S = 108m$

But this is merely the distance he travelled in the 6 seconds he was trying to stop the car.

Therefore, the distance between the car and the cows = 160-108
Distance = 52m

If you add a small amount of hydrochloric acid to 4 liters of water, you would create a _____ solution.

Harman [31]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

An example of a weak base is ammonia. It does not contain hydroxide ions, but it reacts with water to produce ammonium ions and hydroxide ions. The position of equilibrium varies from base to base when a weak base reacts with water. The further to the left it is, the weaker the base.

A large reduction in the current account deficit will place ____ pressure on the home currency value, other things being equal.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Upward.

Explanation:

A large reduction in the current account deficit will place Upward pressure on the home currency value, other things being equal.

When their currency's value decreases, this means the valuation of foreign assets are rising. This further decreases the deficit in the current account. Additionally, a reduced currency value tends to increase export markets when prices become more cutthroat. Export demand falls as prices rise with inflation setting in.

A circular saw blade with radius 0.175 m starts from rest and turns in a vertical plane with a constant angular acceleration of

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The distance the piece travel in horizontally axis is

L=3.55m

Explanation:

$a=2 \frac{rev}{s^{2}} \\h=0.820m\\r = 0.125 m
\\d=150rev$

$d= 155 rev = 155(2\pi ) = 310\pi rad$

$a= 2.0 \frac{rev}{s^{2} } = 2.0(2\pi ) = 4.0\pi \frac{rev}{s^{2} }$

$d=d_{i}+vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} \\ di=0\\vo=0\\d=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2*d}{a}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2*310 rad}{4\frac{rad}{s^{2}}}} \\t=12.449$
