When the car was stopped by the tree, its change in velocity during the collision was -6 meters/second. This change in velocity

occurred in 2 seconds. What was the acceleration of the car?

6 meters per second

You will need to add six two times to find the acceleration

A father racing his son has half the kinetic energy of the son, who has half the mass of the father.The father speeds up by 1.0

Helga [31]

Answer:

(a) $v_f=2.414\ m.s^{-1}$

(b) $v_s=4.828\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Let:

mass of father be, $m_f$

mass of son be, $m_s=\frac{m_f}{2}$

speed of son be, $v_s$

initial speed of father be, $v_f$

After speeding up, speed of father is $v_f+1$

<u>We know Kinetic Energy is given as</u>

$KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2$ .....................................(1)

where:

m = mass

v = velocity

Hence, according to the initial condition the father is having kinetic energy half the kinetic energy of the son.

$KE_s=2.KE_f$

$\frac{1}{2} m_s.v_s^2=2\times \frac{1}{2} m_f.v_f^2$

$(\frac{m_f}{2})\times v_s^2=2\times m_f\times v_f^2$

$v_s=2v_f$ .................................................(2)

According to the final condition:

$\frac{1}{2} m_s.v_s^2= \frac{1}{2} m_f.(v_f+1)^2$

$(\frac{m_f}{2})\times v_s^2=m_f.(v_f+1)^2$

$v_s^2=2(v_f+1)^2$

$v_s=\sqrt{2}(v_f+1)$ .....................................................(3)

(a)

From eq. 2 & 3

$2v_f=\sqrt{2}(v_f+1)$

$\sqrt{2}\ v_f=(v_f+1)$

$v_f(\sqrt{2}-1)=1$

$v_f=\frac{1}{(\sqrt{2}-1)}$

$v_f=2.414\ m.s^{-1}$

(b)

<em>putting the above value in eq. (2)</em>

$v_s=4.828\ m.s^{-1}$

Fluid clutches are used on equipment that is subjected to?

mamaluj [8]

Fluid clutches are used on equipment that is subjected to higher torque per unit volume. This type of clutch makes use of an incompressible fluid like oil in order to transfer the input of a movement from a pedal and cylinder to an actuating cylinder. Releasing the this clutch would stop the transfer of power but still allowing the engine to turn continuously.

Pauline is going on a picnic and bringing some sandwiches. She wants to keep the sandwiches cold for as long as possible by putt

Alja [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is plastic.

Explanation:

To keep sandwiches cold as long as possible by putting them in a cooler the best material is plastic. The plastic is a thermal insulator used for different uses. One of them is to maintain the temperature in closed containers. Metal and aluminum allow the temperature to flow more easily and glass is not a suitable material for building the cooler.

Have a nice day!

Write the equation in slope-intercept form <br> x-2y=4

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form means we want the y to be by itself in the equation. Every thing we do will be about getting the y alone on the left side of the equation

To start we should move x to the left hand side. We can do this by subtracting x from both sides. That way, there is an x on the right, but not the left.

x-x-2y=4-x

this gives us

-2y=4-x

Great! So now what? Well, the y isn't by itself yet because it still is being multiplied by negative two (-2). In order to move it from the left side to the right side, we have to do the opposite of multiply; divide. So, we will divide both sides by -2

$\frac{-2y}{-2} =\frac{4}{-2} -\frac{x}{-2}$

-2 divided by -2 is 1, 4 divided by -2 is -2, and -x divided by -2 is $\frac{1}{2}x$

This gives us the answer: $y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

Tips:

A negative divided by a negative is a positive ex: -4 divided by -2 is positive 2

If you are subtracting by a negative number, you are actually adding by a positive ex: 2-(-2) is actually 2+2

Don't be afraid to have fractions in your equations

Whatever you do to the one side of the equation, you must do it to the other side as well. Multiply the left side by 2? You HAVE TO multiply the right side by two as well. Add 3 to the right side? You HAVE TO add 3 to the left.

For problems like this (and when you have access to the internet), where you need to rewrite an equation, double check your work on desmos, which is an online graphing calculator. Input both the original equation and the equation you rewrote, and if they don't create the same line, you did something wrong.
