Physics

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 volleyball player’s hand applies a 39 N force while in contact with a volleyball for 2 seconds. What is the impulse on the bal

nikklg [1K]

Given:
F = 39 N, the force applied
t = 2 s, the time interval in which the force is applied.

By definition, the impulse is
$I = \int_{0}^{2} F(t) dt = \int _{0}^{2} 39dt = 39*2=78 \, N-s$

Answer: 78 N-s

Water flows from a large drainage pipe at a rate of 950 gal/min. What is this volume rate of flow in (a) m3/s , (b) liters/min,

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$0.05997\ m^3/s$

$3596.1395\ L/min$

$2.11647\ ft^3/s$

Explanation:

$1\ gal/min=\dfrac{1}{264\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950\times \dfrac{1}{264\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=0.05997\ m^3/s$

Volume rate of flow is $0.05997\ m^3/s$

$1\ gal/min=3.78541\ L/min\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950\times 3.78541=3596.1395\ L/min$

Volume rate of flow is $3596.1395\ L/min$

$1\ gal/min=\dfrac{1}{7.481\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950\times \dfrac{1}{7.481\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=2.11647\ ft^3/s$

Volume rate of flow is $2.11647\ ft^3/s$

A 2.0-kg object moving at 5.0 m/s encounters a 30-Newton restive force

sveta [45]

The impulse experienced by the object is 3 N s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Impulse is also termed as change in the momentum of the object. So, it is directly proportional to the force acting on the object and the time for which the force is acting on that object.

Thus, impulse experienced by an object is the product of force acting on the object for a given time period. So, it is the sudden influence of force on the given volume.

As the force is given as 30 N and the duration or the time is given as 0.1 seconds. Then, the impulse will be product of force with duration.

Impulse = Force × ΔTime = Force × Duration

Impulse = 30 × 0.1 = 3 N s.

Thus, the impulse experienced by the object is 3 N s.

How does an NASCAR works?

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

It works by adding an engine, a transmission, car batteries, an extra strong frame in case of a crash, and much more needed things. When it races, The rubber often burns a lot, because of the high speeds that it goes, so that is why they so often change the tires. They give it a full tank of gas, which is basically like the car's idea of food and water. A NASCAR must have a trong engine to go so fast in order to win a race.

Explanation:

Just think of it like building a lego car just hot gluing the legos together and seeing if it breaks.
