To calculate Work we need Force and Distance or Total Change in Energy and Heat.

To calculate Power we need Current and Voltage or Voltage and Resistance.

What happens when you compress a gas?

8090 [49]

The density increases.
When gases are compressed, their volume decreases, and the resulting pressure increases. The temperature will change if either P or V are held constant. Since the volume decreases, then density, or m/V, increases.
P×V ~ T

1-A car moves toward east 12km is represented as A and it turns towards south 16km is represented as B. What is the resultant ve

hjlf

1. A-20 km south east

The car's displacement consists of two components into two different directions. Using a system of coordinates in which x represents the east direction and y represents the south direction, the two displacements are:

$d_x = 12 km$ east

$d_y = 16 km$ south

Since the two components are orthogonal to each other, we can find the resultant displacement by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(12 km)^2+(16 km)^2}=\sqrt{400}=20 km$

and the direction is between the two original directions, so south-east.

2. D. 10 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the total time the stone took to hit the ground. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 78.4 m, and since the motion is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, we have

$S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

From which we find the total time of the fall, t:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(78.4 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=4 s$

Now we can consider the horizontal motion of the stone: we know that the stone travels for d = 40 m in a time of t = 4 s, therefore the horizontal velocity of the stone is

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{40 m}{4 s}=10 m/s$

3. B=32.32 m

As in the previous problem, we have to calculate the total time it takes for the stone to reach the river first. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 20 m, we have

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(20 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=2.0 s$

And since the stone is traveling horizontally at v = 16 m/s, the horizontal distance covered is

$d=vt=(16 m/s)(2 s)=32 m$

So, the closest answer is B.

if you run around a circle at 4.5 m/s and the circle has a radius of 7.7 m, what is your centripetal acceleration?

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration,

$a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2} }$

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration:

Centripetal acceleration is the idea that any object moving in a circle, in something called circular motion, will have an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle.

Centripetal means towards the center.

Examples of centripetal acceleration (acceleration pointing towards the center of rotation) include such situations as cars moving on the cicular part of the road.

An acceleration is a change in velocity.

Formula for Centripetal acceleration:

$a_{c} =\frac{(velocity)^{2} }{radius}$

Given here,

Velocity = 4.5 m/s

radius = 7.7 m

To Find :

$a_{c} = ?$

Solution:

We have,

$a_{c} =\frac{(velocity)^{2} }{radius}$

Substituting given value in it we get

$a_{c} =\frac{(4.5)^{2}}{7.7} \\\\a_{c} =\frac{20.25}{7.7}\\\\a_{c} =2.629\ m/s^{2} \\\\\therefore a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2$

Centripetal acceleration,

$a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2} }$
