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

Erica throws a tennis ball against a wall, and it bounces back. Which force is responsible for sending the ball back to Erica? t
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Explanation:

As Newton's third law states:

"when an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A".

If we apply this law to this problem, we can identify the ball as object A, and the wall as object B. As the ball hits the wall, the ball exerts a force on the wall (toward the direction of motion of the ball), so the wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball (in the opposite direction). This force is the normal force of the wall, and it is responsible for pushing the ball back towards Erica.

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is . On Earth, the main source of this energy is .
serg [7]

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is light energy. On earth, the main source of this energy is Sun. Most of the light energy comes from the sun because it is the primary source of all the energies. The food, fossil fuels, movement of winds, etc all exists due to Sun. Without sun, there won't be any light energy on the earth. In all the processes which occur on earth has a direct or indirect involvement of light energy which comes from sun.

Which option best describes electromagnetic waves that have enough energy to change atoms or molecules into ions?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

B.Ionizing radiation is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions.

It has a sufficient amount of energy that it can separate tightly confined electrons from the orbit of an atom and causing that atom to become ionized.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Lifetime = 4.928 x 10^-32 s  

Explanation:

(1 / v2 – 1 / c2) x2 = T2

T2 = (1/ 297900000 – 1 / 90000000000000000) 0.0000013225

T2 = (3.357 x 10^-9 x 1.11 x 10^-17) 1.3225 x 10^-6

T2 = (3.726 x 10^-26) 1.3225 x 10^-6 = 4.928 x 10^-32 s

A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 2.05 104 m/s. What will its speed be wh
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The value is  v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  initial speed is u =  2.05 *10^{4} \  m/s

 Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as

             T__{E}} =  KE__{i}} +  KE__{e}}

Here  KE_i is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as

          KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  u^2

=>       KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  (2.05 *10^{4})^2

=>       KE_i =  2.101 *10^{8} \ \ m \ \ J

And  KE_e is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as

       KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v_e^2

Here v_e is the escape velocity from earth which has a value v_e =  11.2 *10^{3} \  m/s

=>    KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  (11.3 *10^{3})^2

=>    KE_e =  6.272 *10^{7} \  \  m  \ \   J

Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as

        KE_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

Generally from the law energy conservation we have that

        T__{E}} =  KE_p

So

       2.101 *10^{8}  m  +  6.272 *10^{7}  m  =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

=>     5.4564 *10^{8} =   v^2

=>     v =  \sqrt{5.4564 *10^{8}}

=>     v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s
