Answer:

- 0.25m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 40m/s

Final velocity  = 30m/s

Time taken  = 40s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

 So;

  Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time }  

 Acceleration  = \frac{30  - 40}{40}    =  - 0.25m/s²

This implies that the car will decelerate at a rate of 0.25m/s²

A 4.4 kg mess kit sliding on a frictionless surface explodes into two 2.2 kg parts, one moving at 2.9 m/s, due north, and the ot
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y axis and east represent positive x axis.

Here momentum is conserved.

Let the initial velocity be v.

Initial momentum = 4.4 x v = 4.4v

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 2.9 m/s, due north = 2.9 j m/s

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 6.8 m/s, 35° north of east = 6.9 ( cos 35i + sin35 j ) = 5.62 i + 3.96 j m/s

Final momentum = 2.2 x 2.9 j + 2.2 x (5.62 i + 3.96 j) = 12.364 i + 15.092 j kgm/s

We have

         Initial momentum = Final momentum

         4.4v = 12.364 i + 15.092 j

         v =2.81 i + 3.43 j

Magnitude

        v=\sqrt{2.81^2+3.43^2}=4.43m/s

Direction

       \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3.43}{2.81}\right )=50.67^0

       50.67° north of east.

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

A 2.0-kg laptop sits on the horizontal surface of the seat of a car moving at 8.0 m/s. The driver starts slowing down to stop. F
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 32.65\ m

Explanation:

Given

mass of laptop m=2 kg

The velocity of car u=8 m/s

The coefficient of static friction is \mu_s=0.4

The coefficient of kinetic friction is \mu_k=0.2

As the car is moving, so the coefficient of kinetic friction comes into play

deceleration offered by friction \mu_kg=0.2\times 9.8\ m/s^2

Using the equation of motion v^2-u^2=2as\\

insert the values

0^2-8^2=2(-0.2\times 9.8)s\\\\s=\dfrac{64}{1.96}\\\\s=32.65\ m

Help. I need to find the degree using the sine law.
Marina CMI [18]
Use pythagorean theorem
a ^{2}  + b {}^{2}  = c {}^{2}
to find the opposite side, which is 7.3

so then you can just use inverse sinA=7.3/10 which equals 46.9 degrees
