A car accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 for 5 seconds. If it reaches a velocity of 27 m/s, what was its initial velocity?
Kaylis [27]

The initial velocity of a car that accelerates at a constant rate of 3m/s² for 5 seconds is 12m/s.

CALCULATE INITIAL VELOCITY:

The initial velocity of the car can be calculated by using one of the equation of motion as follows:

V = u + at

Where;

  • V = final velocity (m/s)
  • u = initial velocity (m/s)
  • a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
  • t = time (s)

According to this question, a car accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s² for 5 seconds. If it reaches a velocity of 27 m/s, its initial velocity is calculated as follows:

u = v - at

u = 27 - 3(5)

u = 27 - 15

u = 12m/s.

Therefore, the initial velocity of a car that accelerates at a constant rate of 3m/s² for 5 seconds is 12m/s.

Starting from rest, a 2.3x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts
Harman [31]

Answer:

3.13 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Since the flea spring started from rest,

Ek = W................... Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic Energy of the flea spring, W = work done on the flea spring.

But,

Ek = 1/2mv²............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the flea spring, v = flea's speed when it leaves the ground.

substitute equation 2 into equation 1

1/2mv² = W.................... Equation 3

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2W/m)................. Equation 4

Given: W = 3.6×10⁻⁴ J, m = 2.3×10⁻⁴ kg

Substitute into equation 4

v = √[2×3.6×10⁻⁴ )/2.3×10⁻⁴]

v = 7.2/2.3

v = 3.13 m/s

Hence the flea's speed when it leaves the ground  = 3.13 m/s

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount
igor_vitrenko [27]
In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.
