Answer:

see below

Explanation:

First, the obvious, as you press the gas pedal harder the acceleration goes up as well. Conversely, is you do not press the pedal, you will not accelerate. This determines that is I press the gas pedal, it will CAUSE the car to accelerate. This proves causation.

Now, correlation. The definition of correlation in statistics is any statistical relationship between two random variables or data. This simply means that these two events are connected to one another. A POSITIVE correlation is when two correlated events move in the same direction as one another. I have added a graph to help visualize this. In this problem as the gas is pressed harder, the acceleration increases. If the pressure on the pedal was decreased, then the acceleration also decreases. If the pressure on the pedal is constant, the the acceleration is constant.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

V = 10.88 m/s

Explanation:

V_i =initial velocity = 0m/s

a= acceleration= gsinθ- $\mu_k$ cosθ

putting values we get

a= 9.8sin25-0.2cos25= 2.4 m/s^2

v_f= final velocity and d= displacement along the inclined plane = 10.4 m

using the equation

$v^2_f=v^2_i-2as$

$v^2_f=0^2-2(2.4)(10.4)$

v_f= 7.04 m/s

let the speed just before she lands be "V"

using conservation of energy

KE + PE at the edge of cliff = KE at bottom of cliff

(0.5) m V_f^2 + mgh = (0.5) m V^2

V^2 = V_f^2 + 2gh

V^2 = 7.04^2 + 2 x 9.8 x 3.5

V = 10.88 m/s

A cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.

Three equal point charges, each with charge 1.05 μCμC , are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The value is $U = 0.06 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The value of charge on each three point charge is

$q_1 = q_2 = q_3 =q= 1.05 \mu C = 1.05 *10^{-6} \ C$

The length of the sides of the equilateral triangle is $r = 0.500 \$

Generally the total potential energy is mathematically represented as

$U = k * [ \frac{q_1 * q_2}{r} + \frac{q_2 * q_3}{r} + \frac{q_3 * q_1}{r} ]$

=> $U = k * 3 * \frac{q^2}{r}$

Here k is coulomb constant with value $k = 9*10^{9}\ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}.$

=> $U = 9*10^9 * 3 * \frac{(1.05 *10^{-6})^2}{0.5 }$

$U = 0.06 \ J$

Kinetic energy varies jointly as the mass and the square of the velocity. A mass of 1515 grams and velocity of 77 centimeters pe

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The second kinetic energy is 162 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, $m_1=15\ g$

Velocity, $v_1=7\ cm/s$

Kinetic energy, $K_1=147\ ergs$

Mass, $m_2=10\ g$

Velocity, $v_2=9\ cm/s$

We need to find kinetic energy $K_2$ . Kinetic energy is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

So,

$\dfrac{K_1}{K_2}=\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}\times \dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}\\\\K_2=\dfrac{K_1}{\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}\times \dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}}\\\\K_2=\dfrac{147}{\dfrac{15}{10}\times \dfrac{7^2}{9^2}}\\\\K_2=162\ J$

So, the second kinetic energy is 162 J.
