A car is traveling at 30m/s it accelerates steadily for 5 s after which it is travelling at 50 m/s calculate its acceleration?

2 answers:

7 0

Formula for acceleration: a = v-v0/t
a is acceleration, v is final velocity and v0 is starting velocity, t is time
Now plug it in
a = 50m/s - 30 m/s = 20 m/s/ 5s = 4 m/s^2
The acceleration is 4 m/s^3

For this question , we should apply
a = v - u by t
Given - u = 30m/s
v = 50m/s
t = 5 secs
Solution :
a = v - u by t
a = 50 - 30 by 5
a = 20 by 5
( cut 5 and 20 because 5 x 4 = 20 )
a = 4 m/s^2

.:. The acceleration is 4 m/s^2

What is the mechanical advantage of a nail puller where you exert a force 45 cm from the pivot and the nail is 1.8 cm on the oth

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)

MA = Li/Le

Given;

Li = 45cm

Lo = 1.8cm

MA = 45/1.8

MA = 25

Hence the mechanical advantage is 25

Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.

MA = Load/Effort

Given

Load = 1250N

MA = 25

Effort = ?

Substitute

25 = 1250/Effort

Effort = 1250/25

Effort = 50N

Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N

Aluminum has an atomic number of 13, so it has 13 protons. In its natural state, it does not have a charge, so it has an equal amount of electrons, 13. The atomic mass of aluminum is approximately 27. Since protons and neutrons make up that mass, and each of the particles are around 1 atomic mass unit, if there are 13 protons, then there are 27-13 neutrons, or 14 neutrons. So the first answer choice is correct.

A slender rod is 80.0 cm long and has mass 0.390 kg . A small 0.0200-kg sphere is welded to one end of the rod, and a small 0.05

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer

given,

length of slender rod =80 cm = 0.8 m

mass of rod = 0.39 Kg

mass of small sphere = 0.0200 kg

mass of another sphere weld = 0.0500 Kg

calculating the moment of inertia of the system

$I = \dfrac{ML^2}{12}+\dfrac{m_1L^2}{4}+\dfrac{mL^2}{4}$

$I = \dfrac{0.39\times 0.8^2}{12}+\dfrac{0.02\times 0.8^2}{4}+\dfrac{0.05\times 0.8^2}{4}$

$I =0.032\ kg.m^2$

using conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = (m_1-m_2)g\dfrac{L}{2}$

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{(m_1-m_2)gL}{I}}$

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{(0.05-0.02)\times 9.8 \times 0.8}{0.032}}$

$\omega=2.71 \rad/s$

we know,

v = r ω

$v = \dfrac{L}{2} \times 2.71$

$v = \dfrac{0.8}{2} \times 2.71$

v = 1.084 m/s
