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?

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

A car travels from point A to point B, moving in the same direction but with a non-constant speed. The first half of the distanc

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

From A to B

distance traveled with velocity $v_1$ in time $t_1$

$\frac{d}{2}=v_1t_1----1$

from B to C

distance traveled is 0.5 d with $v_2$ and $v_3$ velocity for half-half time

$\frac{d}{2}=\frac{v_2t_2}{2}+\frac{v_3t_3}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$\frac{1}{1}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{v_2t_2+v_3t_3}$

$\frac{t_1}{t_2}=\frac{v_2+v_3}{2v_1}$

Now average velocity is given by

$v_{avg}=\frac{d}{t_1+t_2}$

taking $t_1$ common

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{t_1(1+\frac{t_2}{t_1})}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1}{1+\frac{2v_1}{v_2+v_3}}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1(v_2+v_3)}{2v_1+v_2+v_3}$

A car moved 60 meters west in 2 hours. What is its average velocity?

Fofino [41]

Explanation: Velocity is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. Two measurements are needed to determine velocity. Displacement and time. Displacement includes a direction, so velocity also includes a direction. Speed with direction. Velocity can be an average velocity or an instantaneous velocity. Units for velocity are the same as for speed: m/s, km/h, and mph. Delta x(Δx) is the symbol used for displacement. Delta (Δ) means to "change in." Δx means to "change in position." Δx is calculated by final position minus initial position. Velocity formula: → v=Δx/t as a fraction.

v=Δx/t

$v=\frac{xf-xi}{t}= \frac{60m}{2}=30m$

<em><u>Final answer is 30.</u></em>

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

Please can some one explaine fore me What is work done

olga nikolaevna [1]

In Physics, 'work' has a very clear definition:

It's (strength of a force) times (distance through which the force acts).

'Work' has the units of Energy.

If you push against a shopping cart with 30 newtons of force, and
you keep pushing while the cart moves 4 meters, then you have
done (30 x 4) = 120 newton-meters of work = 120 "Joules".

A river flows at 2m/s. The velocity of a ferry relative to the shore is 4m /s at right angle to the current. What is the velocit

monitta

The velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.

<h3>Relative velocity</h3>

Relative velocity is the velocity of a body as observed from the reference point of another body either stationary or in motion.

Since the river is flowing parallel to the shore and the ferry is moving perpendicular to the shore, their velocities are at right angles to each other.

The two velocities form a right angled-triangle of sides 2, 4 and a hypotenuse which gives the relative velocity of the ferry to the current.

Using Pythagoras rule:

c² = a² + b²

Let c be the hypotenuse
a = velocity of the ferry, and
b = the velocity of the current, and

c² = 4² + 2²

c² = 16 + 4

c = 20

c = √20

c = 4.47 m/s

c ≈ 4.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.
