A cyclist is riding his bike up a mountain trail. When he starts up the trail, he is going 8 m/s. As the trail gets steeper, he

slows to 3 m/s in 1 minute. What is the cyclist's acceleration?Felipe drives his car at a velocity of 28 m/s. He applies the brake, which slows the vehicle down at a rate of 6.4 m/s2 and causes it to slow to a stop. How long does it take for the car to stop? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

a)   a = - 0.0833 m / s²,  b)   t = 4.4 s

Explanation:

a) this is a kinematics exercise where the acceleration is along the inclined plane

         v = v₀ - a t

         a = v₀ - v / t

         a = 3 - 8/60

         a = - 0.0833 m / s²

b) in this case the final velocity is zero

         v = v₀ - a t

         0 = v₀ - at

         t = v₀ / a

         t = 28 / 6.4

         t = 4.375 s

         t = 4.4 s

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1.3 g/cm³

Explanation:

The mass of the paint without the tin or lid is:

7 kg − 0.5 kg = 6.5 kg = 6500 g

Density is mass per volume:

d = 6500 g / 5000 cm³

d = 1.3 g/cm³

timama [110]

Answer:

The light radiated from the Sun's surface reaches Earth in about 8 minutes. However, the energy of this light was released by fusion in the Sun's core about several hundred thousand years ago.

Explanation:

Nucleosynthesis is the fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements. For the Sun the main mechanism of fusion is the proton - proton chain, in which two hydrogen atoms fuse into helium, in the course of the fusion photons are created.

When those photons start their travel from the core to the surface of the star, they will interact with different atoms in the whole way (the main free path).

More precisely, when a photon¹ is absorbed by an electron in an atom of a particular element, the electron will get to a higher state. When it comes back to the ground state, a photon will be emitted again.

The process described above is repeating multiple times for every photon until they reach the Sun surface.    

The whole process can take about several hundred thousand of years.

Key term:

¹Photon: Particle that constitutes light.

One mole of helium atoms has a mass of 4 grams. if a helium atom in a balloon has a kinetic energy of 1.224e-21 j, what is the s
andreyandreev [35.5K]
<span>607 m/s First, let's calculate the mass of a helium atom. You do that by dividing the mass of 1 mole of helium atoms by avogadro's number. So 4 / 6.0221409e23 = 6.6422e-24 g = 6.6422e-27 kg The equation for kinetic energy is E = 0.5 M V^2 And we have 1.224e-21 J, which is 1.224e-21 kg*m^2/s^2 So substitute the known values into the equation for kinetic energy and solve for V 1.224e-21 kg*m^2/s^2 = 0.5 6.6422e-27 kg V^2 1.224e-21 kg*m^2/s^2 = 3.32108e-27 kg V^2 368555 m^2/s^2 = V^2 607 m/s = V</span>

A stomp rocket takes 2. 4 seconds to reach its maximum height, what was its initial velocity?.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

in projectile motion at maximum height v = 0

we can use the suvat equation to find v(initial)

since in this case v(final) is 0

t = 2.4 seconds

we need to find v(initial) or u

v = u+at

u = v- at

in this case a = g (gravity) = -9.81

u = 0 - (-9.81 * 2.4)

u = 9.81 * 2.4

the negatives become positive sin it’s a double negative ( - - = +)
