What do the three variables (f,m, a) in the equation mean?

A car is brought to rest in a distance of 484m using a constant acceleration of -8.0m/s^2. What was the velocity of the car when

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

88 m/s

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the following SUVAT equation:

$v^2-u^2=2ad$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d is the distance covered

For the car in this problem, we have

d = 484 m is the stopping distance

v = 0 is the final velocity

$a=-8.0 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving for u, we find the initial velocity:

$u=\sqrt{v^2-2ad}=\sqrt{-2(8.0)(484)}=88 m/s$

Calculate the speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V.

AVprozaik [17]

The speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V is $25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s$ .

Initial velocity of the proton $u = 0$

Given potential difference $\Delta V = 350V$

let's assume that the speed of the proton is $v$ ,

Since the proton is accelerating through a potential difference, proton's potential energy will change with time. The potential energy of a particle of charge $q$ when accelerated with a potential difference $\Delta V$ is,

$U = q \Delta V$

Due to Work-Energy Theorem and Conservation of Energy - <em>If there is no non-conservative force acting on a particle then loss in Potential energy P.E must be equal to gain in Kinetic Energy K.E</em> i.e

$\Delta K = \Delta V$

If the initial and final velocity of the proton is $u$ and $v$ respectively then,

change in Kinetic Energy $\implies \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0$

change in Potential Energy $\implies \Delta U = q\Delta V$

from conservation of energy,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta V}{m}}$

so, $v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 350 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}$

$= 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s$

Energy is transferred by the process of convection from the hot water at the bottom of the tank to the cooler water at the top.

iragen [17]

The transfer of energy means, in convention process, transport of matter. In this case, hot water has lower density than cool water. The water with less density ascends and leaves gaps that are occupied with cooler water "packages".

Janelle wants to buy some strings of decorative lights for her home. She is trying to decide between two strings of lights that

inysia [295]

If she has a choice and the wiring details are stated on the packaging,
then Janelle should look for lights that are wired in parallel within the
string, and she should avoid lights that are wired in series within the string.

If a single light in a parallel string fails, then only that one goes out.
The rest of the lights in the string continue to shimmer and glimmer.

If a single light in a series string fails, then ALL of the lights in that string
go out, and it's a substantial engineering challenge to determine which light
actually failed.
