Answer:

1. The final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s

2. The distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m

Explanation:

1. Determination of the final velocity

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Time (t) = 5 s

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity of the truck can be obtained as follow:

v = u + at

v = 0 + (3 × 5)

v = 0 + 15

v = 15 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s

2. Determination of the distance travelled

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Time (t) = 5 s

Distance (s) =?

The distance travelled by the truck can be obtained as follow:

s = ut + ½at²

s = (0 × 5) + (½ × 3 × 5²)

s = 0 + (½ × 3 × 25)

s = 0 + 37.5

s = 37.5 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m

The downward force produced when air flows over the winglike spoiler on a race car is an example of ___ principle

Murljashka [212]

As per bernoulli's principle

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$

here

$P_1$ = pressure upwards

$P_2$ = pressure downwards

$v_1$ = velocity of air upwards

$v_2$ = velocity of air downwards

now from this equation we can say that the pressure difference will be

$P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2$

now the force due to this pressure difference will be

$F = (P_1 - P_2)A$

so this is the above force which is given above

When we look at a star

stiv31 [10]

I'm not really sure what specific answer they're looking for, but if it's an open-ended question, then let's think about it this way...

A light year, is the distance it takes for light to travel in a year. If an object is 50,000 light years away, then by the time the light travels to us, 50,000 years has passed. We are looking at a 50,000 year old image of that object. (ignoring gravity and spatial expansion fun stuffs)

4. A trolley of mass 2kg rests next to a trolley of mass 3 kg on a flat

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s

d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s

e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s

Explanation:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s

d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley

∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s
