Stan is driving north on his scooter at 8m/s, accelerates 11m/s (North) in 4s, drives a constant velocity for the next 15s, and

kow [346]

A) Acceleration: $a_1 = 0.75 m/s^2, a_2 = 0, a_3 = -1.57 m/s^2$

B) The total displacement is 209.5 m north

C) The average velocity is 8.06 m/s north

Explanation:

A)

Acceleration is defined as:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Here we have:

- In the first segment,

u = 8 m/s north

v = 11 m/s north

t = 4 s

So the acceleration is

$a_1 = \frac{11-8}{4}=0.75 m/s^2$ (north)

- In the second segment, Stan drives at a constant velocity: so the final velocity is equal to the initial velocity,

u = v

Therefore, the acceleration is zero: $a_2 = 0$

- In the third segment,

u = 11 m/s (north)

v = 0 (he comes to a stop)

t = 7 s

So the acceleration is

$a=\frac{0-11}{7}=-1.57 m/s^2$

And the negative sign means the acceleration is south, opposite to the direction of motion.

B)

In a uniformly accelerated motion, the displacement can be calculated as:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

- For the first segment, we have

$u = 0\\a = 0.75 m/s^2\\t=4 s$

So the displacement is

$s_1 = 0+\frac{1}{2}(0.75)(4)^2=6 m$

- For the second segment, we have

$u = 11 m/s\\a = 0\\t=15 s$

So the displacement is

$s_2 = (11)(15)+0=165 m$

- For the third segment, we have

$u = 11\\a = -1.57 m/s^2\\t=7 s$

So the displacement is

$s_3 = (11)(7)+\frac{1}{2}(-1.57)(7)^2=38.5 m$

So the total displacement is:

s = 6 m + 165 m + 38.5 m = 209.5 m

In the north direction (positive direction)

C)

The average velocity is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the total displacement

t is the total time

Here we have:

d = 209.5 m

t = 26 s

Therefore, the average velocity is

$v=\frac{209.5}{26}=8.06 m/s$ (north)

A wire has a cross sectional area of 4.00 mm2 and is stretched by 0.100 mm by a certain force. How far will a wire of the same m

Nina [5.8K]

Answer: $0.05\ mm$

Explanation:

Given

Cross-sectional area of wire $A_1=4\ mm^2$

Extension of wire $\delta l=0.1\ mm$

Extension in a wire is given by

$\Rightarrow \delta l=\dfrac{FL}{AE}$

where, $E=\text{Youngs modulus}$

$\Rightarrow \delta_1=\dfrac{FL}{A_1E}\quad \ldots(i)$

for same force, length and material

$\Rightarrow \delta_2=\dfrac{FL}{A_2E}\quad \ldots(ii)$

Divide (i) and (ii)

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.1}{\delta_2}=\dfrac{A_2}{A_1}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.1\times \dfrac{4}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.05\ mm$

A wave with a wavelength of 0.1 m moves with a speed of 0.5 m/s. What is the frequency of the wave?

kondaur [170]

Frequency= speed/ wavelength
=0.5m/s divided 0.1.m
=5.0 Hz

The answer would be letter D.

Compare and contrast fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs.

dezoksy [38]

Incandescent light is a glowing white light produced by heat. An incandescent light bulb works by heating a filament in the bulb. Fluorescent light is a bright light produced by electricity flowing through a tube filled with ionized gas. Fluorescent light bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs

In a Little League baseball game, the 145 g ball enters the strike zone with a speed of 17.0 m/s . The batter hits the ball, and

VMariaS [17]

Hi there!

Impulse = Change in momentum

I = Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)

Where:

m = mass of object (kg)

vf = final velocity (m/s)

vi = initial velocity (m/s)

Begin by converting grams to kilograms:

1 kg = 1000g ⇒ 145g = .145kg

Now, plug in the given values. Remember to assign directions since velocity is a vector. Let the initial direction be positive and the opposite be negative.

I = (.145)(-20 - 17) = -5.365 Ns

The magnitude is the absolute value, so:

|-5.365| = 5.365 Ns
