Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

time of the car acceleration, t = 4 s

acceleration of the car, a = 4 m/s²

the final velocity of the car is calculated as;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

v = 20 + (4 x 4)

v = 36 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 36 m/s.

You are designing an elevator for a hospital. The force exerted on a passenger by the floor of the elevator is not to exceed 1.5
inn [45]

Answer:

maximum speed of the elevator is 6.54 m/s

Explanation:

given,

force exerted on the elevator is 1.59 times passenger weight.

when the elevator accelerates upward with rate of a.

total force

F    =  m × (a+g)

1.59× mg  = ma + mg        

0.59 mg = ma                    

a = 0.59 g            

we also have that

v^2 = u^2+ 2 a s         

v =\sqrt{2a*s}                    

  =\sqrt(2\times 0.59\times 9.8\times 3.7)

  = 6.54 m/s

maximum speed of the elevator is 6.54 m/s

A projectile is fired from a gun near the surface of earth. the initial velocity of the projectile has a vertical component of 9
nadezda [96]
The gravitational acceleration experienced by the bullet due to the earth's gravitational force is approximately equals to 9.81 m/s^2

At maximum point of height, vertical component of velocity equals to zero because it experiences a pause momentarily before coming back down.

Since -acceleration=(Final velocity-initial velocity) divided by time. Taking upwards to be positive, time taken= 10s

A 0.016-kg piece of iron absorbs 1086.75 joules of heat energy, and its
wel

Answer:

c = 115.92 q/g C

Explanation:

0.016 kg = 16 grams

q = Joules

m = mass (g)

t = (final temp. - initial temp)

c = specific heat

c = (1086.75 joules) / (175 C - 25 C) (16 g)

c = 115.92 q/g C
