What constant acceleration (in ft/s2) is required to increase the speed of a car from 27 mi/h to 50 mi/h in 5 seconds

Physics
1 answer:
SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

6.746 ft/s^2

Explanation:

v(t)=50

v(0)=27

t=5/3600 = 1/720 hours

v(t)-v(0)= a(t-0)

50-27= a(1/720)

a= 23*720= 16560 mi/h^2

16560mi/h^2 * 5280/3600^2 (ft/s^2) =6.746 ft/s^2

What do the movements of stars and galaxies tell astronomers about how the universe formed?
natulia [17]
This could be Hubble's law, or something related to it. I think there's a possibly Doppler RED SHIFT in the optical spectra of stars etc as observed on the earth. It seems that they are accelerating away from the earth, and that the further away they are the faster they are moving.
It seems that this has been connected to the idea of "The Big Bang" theory of the origin of the universe which seems to have superceded Professor Sir Fred Hoye's Steady State theory of the universe.
There's some Special Relativity in this lot, too.

Calculate the angle for the third-order maximum of 580-nm wavelength yellow light falling on double slits separated by 0.100 mm.
alekssr [168]

<u>Answer:</u> The angle of diffraction is 0.498°

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the angle of diffraction, we use the equation given by Bragg, which is:

n\lambda =2d\sin \theta

where,  

n = order of diffraction = 3

\lambda = wavelength of the light = 580nm=5.80\times 10^{-7}m    (Conversion factor:  1m=10^{9}nm )

d = spacing between the crystal planes = 0.100 mm = 1.0\times 10^{-4}       (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\theta = angle of diffraction = ?

Putting values in above equation:

3\times 5.80\times 10^{-7}=2\times 1.00\times 10^{-4}\sin \theta\\\\\sin \theta = 0.0087\\\\\theta=\sin ^{-1} (0.0087)=0.498

Hence, the angle of diffraction is 0.498°

3. A car has a mass of 2.50 x 10^3 kg. If the force acting on the car is 7.65 x 10^3 N to the
const2013 [10]

Answer:

3.06m/s² to the east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 2.5 x 10³kg

Force acting on the car  = 7.65 x 10³N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

   Acceleration  = \frac{Force }{mass}   = \frac{7.65 x 10^{3} }{2.5 x 10^{3} }    = 3.06m/s² to the east

How much force is required to accelerate a 2 kg mass at 3 m/s2
swat32

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)                  Newton's second law of motion.

Force = (2 kg) x (3 m/s²)  =  6 newtons.

Kali left school and traveled toward her friend's house at an average speed of 40 km/h. Matt left one hour later and traveled in
zlopas [31]

Answer:

t = 5 hr

Explanation:

Let kali moves toward east with velocity= V₁= 40 km/ h

Mat moves toward west with velocity = V₂= 50 km/hr

As Klai left one hour earlier = t₁= 1 hr

distance traveled in 1st hour = s₁ = v * t = 40 * 1 = 40 km

Remaining distance = 400 - 40 = 360 km

As they move in the opposite directions:

Relative speed= 40 + 50 = 90 km/ h

s = v * t

⇒ t = s / v

⇒ t₂ = 360 / 90

⇒ t₂ = 4 hr

Total time = t = t₁ + t₂

t = 1 hr + 4 hr

t = 5 hr
