Answer: 4.98 m/s

Explanation:

You solve these kinetic energy, potential energy problems by using the fact P.E.+ K.E. = a constant as long as friction is ignored.

PEi = 0 in this case

KEi = ½mVi² = PEf+KEf = mghf + ½mVf²

½1210*8.31² = 1210*9.8*2.26 + ½1210*Vf²

½1210*Vf² = ½1210*8.31² - 1210*9.8*2.26

Vf² = 8.31² - 2*9.8*2.26 = 4.98² so Vf = 4.98m/s

How far will a car travel if its velocity is 15 m/s in 3 seconds? Follow example below.

svet-max [94.6K]

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Distance (d) = 112 m
Time (t) = 4 seconds
Let the speed be v.
We know, speed = Distance / Time
Therefore, v = d/t

or, v = 112 m ÷ 4 s = 28 m/s

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The speed of the cheetah is 28 m/s.

Explain why the speed of light is lower than 3.0 x 108 m/s as it goes through different media.

jekas [21]

Answer:

Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.

Two 3.0 μC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at What is the potential (relative to infinity) due to the

Airida [17]

Complete Question:

Two 3.0µC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at 2.0m. A third point is located at 6.0m. What is the potential at this third point relative to infinity? (The value of k is 9.0*10^9 N.m^2/C^2)

Answer:

The potential due to these charges is 11250 V

Explanation:

Potential V is given as;

$V =\frac{Kq}{r}$

where;

K is coulomb's constant = 9x10⁹ N.m²/C²

r is the distance of the charge

q is the magnitude of the charge

The first charge located at the origin, is 6.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:

$V =\frac{9X10^9 X3X10^{-6}}{6} =4500 V$

The second charge located at 2.0 m, is 4.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:

$V =\frac{9X10^9 X3X10^{-6}}{4} =6750 V$

Total potential due to this charges = 4500 V + 6750 V = 11250 V

A bicyclist is finishing his repair of a flat tire when a friend rides by with a constant speed of 3.6 m/s . Two seconds later t

dybincka [34]

Answer:

A) t = 7.0 s

B) x = 25 m

C) v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

The equations for the position and velocity of an object traveling in a straight line is given by the following expressions:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

v = velocity at time t

A)When both friends meet, their position is the same:

x bicyclist = x friend

x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t

If we place the center of the frame of reference at the point when the bicyclist starts following his friend, the initial position of the bicyclist will be 0, and the initial position of the friend will be his position after 2 s:

Position of the friend after 2 s:

x = v · t

x = 3.6 m/s · 2 s = 7.2 m

Then:

1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t v0 of the bicyclist is 0 because he starts from rest.

1/2 · 2.0 m/s² · t² = 7.2 m + 3.6 m/s · t

1 m/s² · t² - 3.6 m/s · t - 7.2 m = 0

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 5.0 s

It takes the bicyclist (5.0 s + 2.0 s) 7.0 s to catch his friend after he passes him.

B) Using the equation for the position, we can calculate the traveled distance. We can use the equation for the position of the friend, who traveled over 7.0 s.

x = v · t

x = 3.6 m/s · 7.0 s = 25 m

(we would have obtained the same result if we would have used the equation for the position of the bicyclist)

C) Using the equation of velocity:

v = a · t

v = 2.0 m/s² · 5.0 s = 10 m/s
