Answer:

a. -39.2 m/s; -78.4 m

b. -31.2 m/s; -46.4 m

c. -47.2 m/s; -110.4 m

Explanation:

<h2>Part (a)</h2>

We are given/can infer these variables:

  • t = 4.0 s
  • a = -9.8 m/s²
  • v_0 = 0 m/s

We want to find the displacement and the final velocity of the rock.

  • Δx = ?
  • v = ?

We can use this equation to find the final velocity:

  • v = v_0 + at

Plug in the known variables into this equation.

  • v = 0 + (-9.8)(4.0)
  • v = -9.8 * 4.0
  • v = -39.2 m/s

The final velocity of the rock is -39.2 m/s.

Now we can use this equation to find the displacement of the rock:

  • Δx = v_0 t + 1/2at²

Plug in the known variables into this equation.

  • Δx = 0 * 4.0 + 1/2(-9.8)(4.0)²
  • Δx = 1/2(-9.8)(4.0)²
  • Δx = -4.9 * 16
  • Δx = -78.4 m

The displacement of the rock is -78.4 m.

<h2>Part (b)</h2>

We are given/can infer these variables:

  • v_0 = 8.0 m/s
  • a = -9.8 m/s²
  • t = 4.0 s

We can use this equation to find the final velocity:

  • v = v_0 + at

Plug in the known variables into this equation.

  • v = 8.0 + (-9.8)(4.0)
  • v = 8.0 + -39.2
  • v = -31.2 m/s

The final velocity of the rock is -31.2 m/s.

We can use this equation to find the displacement:

  • Δx = v_0 t + 1/2at²

Plug in known variables:

  • Δx = 8.0(4.0) + 1/2(-9.8)(4.0)²
  • Δx = 32 - 4.9(16)
  • Δx = -46.4 m

The displacement of the rock is -46.4 m.

<h2>Part (c)</h2>

We are given/can infer these variables:

  • v_0 = -8.0 m/s
  • a = -9.8 m/s²
  • t = 4.0 s

We can use this equation to find the final velocity:

  • v = v_0 + at

Plug in the known variables into this equation.

  • v = -8.0 + (-9.8)(4.0)
  • v = -8.0 - 39.2
  • v = -47.2 m/s

The final velocity of the rock is -47.2 m/s.

We can use this equation to find the displacement:

  • Δx = v_0 t + 1/2at²

Plug in known variables:

  • Δx = -8.0(4.0) + 1/2(-9.8)(4.0)²
  • Δx = -32 - 4.9(16)
  • Δx = -110.4 m

The displacement of the rock is -110.4 m.

Why are carbon brushes used? How do these work?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Why are they used:

A carbon brush is a sliding contact used to transmit electrical current from a static to a rotating part in a motor or generator, and, as regards DC machines, ensuring a spark-free commutation.

Consider a small child sliding down two differently shaped slides that have the same coefficient of kinetic friction. How must t
timama [110]

Answer:

Having a bigger angle above the horizontal

Explanation:

Applying the energy conservation theorem:

K_1+U_1+W_{ext}=K_2+U_2

The kinetic energy is reduced because of the work done by the friction force.

The friction force is given by:

F_f=F_N*\µ

so the friction force depends on the Normal force, because the slide has an angle the normal force is given by:

F_N=m.g*cos(\theta)

So when the angle of the slide is bigger, the friction force decreases, for example:

for 45 degrees:

F_N=m.g*cos(45)\\F_N=0.70(m.g)\\

for 75 degrees:

F_N=m.g*cos(75)\\F_N=0.26(m.g)\\

as you can see if the angle is bigger above the horizontal, the friction force is reduced and so the work done by that force. We didn't have to change the height of the slide, so the potential gravitational energy remains the same.

Consider dropping a ball from rest. This ball moves from astate of high gravitational potential energy to one of lowgravitationa
Leni [432]

Answer:

From the negative to the positive cable.

Explanation:

The electrons have negative charge, which means that the negative terminal of the battery will suply the electrons, thus they are present in excess on the negative cable and will jump from it to the positive cable. This current direction is called real current.
