Answer:

Initial velocity, U = 28.73m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Final velocity, V = 35m/s

Acceleration, a = 5m/s²

Distance, S = 40m

To find the initial velocity (U), we would use the third equation of motion.

V² = U² + 2aS

Where;

V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.

U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

S represents the displacement measured in meters.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

35² = U + 2*5*40

1225 = U² + 400

U² = 1225 - 400

U² = 825

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

Initial velocity, U = 28.73m/s

4) A racing car undergoing constant acceleration covers 140 m in 3.6 s. (a) If it’s moving at 53 m/s at the end of this interval
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer

given,

distance = 140 m

time, t = 3.6 s

moving speed = 53 m/s

a) distance = (average velocity) x time

    D = \dfrac{v_0 + v_1}{2}\times t

    140 = \dfrac{v_0 + 53}{2}\times 3.6

       v₀ + 53 = 77.78

        v₀ = 24.78 m/s or 25 m/s

b) a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

   a = \dfrac{53-25}{3.6}

         a = 7.8 m/s²

using equation of motion

  v₀² = v₁² + 2 a s

  53² = 0²+ 2 x 7.8 x s

  s = 180 m

Consider a model of a hydrogen atom in which an electron is in a circular orbit of radius r = 5.92×10−11 m around a stationary p
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

2.068 x 10^6 m / s

Explanation:

radius, r = 5.92 x 10^-11 m

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

As the electron is revolving in a circular path, it experiences a centripetal force which is balanced by the electrostatic force between the electron and the nucleus.

centripetal force = \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Electrostatic force = \frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

where, k be the Coulombic constant, k = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2

So, balancing both the forces we get

\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}

v=\sqrt{\frac{kq^{2}}{mr}}

v=\sqrt{\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 5.92\times10^{-11}}}

v = 2.068 x 10^6 m / s

Thus, the speed of the electron is give by  2.068 x 10^6 m / s.

A body of mass 2 kg at O has an initial velocity of 3m/s along OE and it is subjected to a force of 4N perpendicular to OE the d
timofeeve [1]
Perpendicular acceleration:
F = ma
a = 4 / 2 = 2 m/s²

Perpendicular distance:

s = ut + 1/2 at²
s = 0 x 4 + 1/2 x 2 x 4²
s = 16 m

Horizontal distance:
s = ut
= 3 x 4
= 12 m

Total distance = √(12² + 16²)
= 20 m.

How do your results from ray tracing compare to your results from using the thin-lens equation?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

20cm

Explanation:

A convex lens has a positive focal length and the object placed in front of it produce both virtual and real image <em>(image distance can be negative or positive depending on the nature of the image</em>).

According to the lens equation

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} where;

f is the focal length  of the lens

u is the object distance

v is the image distance

If the magnification is - 0.6

mag = v/u = -0.5

v = -0.5u

since v = 10cm

10 = -0.5u

u = -10/0.5

u =-20 cm

Substitute u = -20cm ( due to negative magnification)and v = 10cm into the lens formula to get the focal length f

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} + \frac{1}{10}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} + \frac{1}{10}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{-1+2}{20} \\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{20} \\cross \ multiply\\f = 20\\f = 20 cm

Hence the focal length of the convex lens is 20cm

I was driving along at 20 m/s, trying to change a CD and not watching where I was going. When I looked up, I found myself 45 m f
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

First we have to find the time required for train to travel 60 meters and impact the car, this is an uniform linear motion:

t=\frac{d}{v}\\\\t=\frac{60m}{30\frac{m}{s}}=2s

The reaction time of the driver before starting to accelerate was 0.50 seconds. So, remaining time for driver is 1.5 seconds.

Now, we have to calculate the distance traveled for the driver in this 0.5 seconds before he start to accelerate. Again, is an uniform linear motion:

d=vt\\d=20\frac{m}{s}(0.5s)=10m

The driver cover 10 meters in this 0.5 seconds. So, the remaining distance to be cover in 1.5 seconds by the driver are 35 meters. We calculate the minimum acceleration required by the car in order to cross the tracks before the train arrive, Since this is an uniformly accelerated motion, we use the following equation:

d=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\a=\frac{2(d-v_0t)}{t^2}\\a=\frac{2(35m-20\frac{m}{s}*1.5s}{(1.5s)^2}\\a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}
