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

What is the difference between kinetic and gravitacional energy?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.

In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

 160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.  

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4  = 900 x 3  ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440  = 2700

x = 2.3  m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

θ = 1.591 10⁻² rad

Explanation:

For this exercise we must suppose a criterion when two light sources are considered separated, we use the most common criterion the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that two light sources are separated census the central maximum of one of them coincides with the first minimum of the other source

         

Let's write the diffraction equation for a slit

       a sin θ = m λ

The first minimum occurs for m = 1, also field in these we experience the angles are very small, we can approximate the sin θ = θ

             θ = λ / a

In our case, the pupil is circular, so the system must be solved in polar coordinates, so a numerical constant is introduced.

           θ = 1.22 λ / D

Where D is the diameter of the pupil

 Let's apply this equation to our case

        θ = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 0.460 10⁻²

        θ = 1.591 10⁻² rad

This is the angle separation to solve the two light sources
