Describe the motion of an automobile on an east-west

Physics
1 answer:
Tanya [424]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. The automobile is traveling due east and is speeding up.

2. The car is traveling due east and is is slowing down.

3. The automobile is traveling due east at a constant speed.

4. The car is traveling due west and is slowing down.

5. The automobile is traveling due west and is speeding up.

6. The automobile is traveling due west at a constant speed.

7. The automobile is accelerating due east from rest.

8. The automobile is accelerating due west from rest.

Explanation:

The key to understanding this is:

When the acceleration and initial velocity of the automobile have the same sign (positive or negative) then the automobile is speeding up. Explained further, if acceleration and the initial velocity are both positive or they are both negative the automobile is speeding up but whenever they have opposite signs (that is acceleration is positive and initial velocity is negative or vice versa) the automobile is slowing down. When the acceleration is zero the automobile is maintaining a unform motion at a constant speed (the speed is not changing with time). The + or - sign indicates the direction of travel. In this case east is + and west is -. It is my pleasure answering this question. I hope you find it helpful. Thank you.

A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The gazelles top speed is 27.3 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = 4.2 m/s²

Time = 6.5 s

Suppose we need to find the gazelles top speed

The speed is equal to the product of acceleration and time.

We need to calculate the gazelles top speed

Using formula of speed

v=at

Where, v = speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=4.2\times6.5

v=27.3\ m/s

Hence, The gazelles top speed is 27.3 m/s.

A flare is launched from a boat. The height, , in meters, of the flare above the water is approximately modelled by the function
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

If the height is modeled by the function h(t)=-15t^{2} +150t, then the seconds it takes to reach the water (when the height equals 0) is modeled by the following.

0=-15t^{2} +150t\\0=-15t*(t-10)\\\\t=0\\t=10

A small cork with an excess charge of +6.0µC is placed 0.12 m from another cork, which carries a charge of -4.3µC.
Volgvan

A) 16.1 N

The magnitude of the electric force between the corks is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q_1 = 6.0 \mu C=6.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C is the magnitude of the charge on the first cork

q_2 = 4.3 \mu C = 4.3 \cdot 10^{-6}C is the magnitude of the charge of the second cork

r = 0.12 m is the separation between the two corks

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

F=(9\cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} )\frac{(6.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(4.3\cdot 10^{-6} C)}{(0.12 m)^2}=16.1 N

B) Attractive

According to Coulomb's law, the direction of the electric force between two charged objects depends on the sign of the charge of the two objects.

In particular, we have:

- if the two objects have charges with same sign (e.g. positive-positive or negative-negative), the force is repulsive

- if the two objects have charges with opposite sign (e.g. positive-negative), the force is attractive

In this problem, we have

Cork 1 has a positive charge

Cork 2 has a negative charge

So, the force between them is attractive.

C) 2.69\cdot 10^{13}

The net charge of the negative cork is

q_2 = -4.3 \cdot 10^{-6}C

We know that the charge of a single electron is

e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

The net charge on the negative cork is due to the presence of N excess electrons, so we can write

q_2 = Ne

and solving for N, we find the number of excess electrons:

N=\frac{q_2}{e}=\frac{-4.3\cdot 10^{-6} C}{-1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C}=2.69\cdot 10^{13}

D) 3.75\cdot 10^{13}

The net charge on the positive cork is

q_1 = +6.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

We know that the charge of a single electron is

e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

The net charge on the positive cork is due to the "absence" of N excess electrons, so we can write

q_1 = -Ne

and solving for N, we find the number of electrons lost by the cork:

N=-\frac{q_1}{e}=-\frac{+6.0\cdot 10^{-6} C}{-1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C}=3.75\cdot 10^{13}

Two sources of light of wavelength 720 nm are 10 m away from a pinhole of diameter 1.2 mm. How far apart must the sources be for
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The value is  y  =  0.00732 \ m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of each source is  \lambda  = 720 \ nm =  720 *10^{-9} \  m

     The distance from the pinhole D = 10 \ m

     The diameter is d =  1.2 mm = \frac{1.2}{1000} = 0.0012 \ m

Generally from Rayleigh's criterion  we have that the distance between the sources of light for their diffraction patterns is mathematically represented as '

        y  =  \frac{ 1.22 *  \lambda *  D}{d}

=>      y  =  \frac{ 1.22 * 720 *10^{-9}*   10 }{ 0.0012}

=>      y  =  0.00732 \ m
