Answer:

Velocity of the car at the bottom of the slope: approximately 20.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

It would take approximately 3.9\; \rm s for the car to travel from the top of the slope to the bottom.

Explanation:

The time of the travel needs to be found. Hence, make use of the SUVAT equation that does not include time.

  • Let v denote the final velocity of the car.
  • Let u denote the initial velocity of the car.
  • Let a denote the acceleration of the car.
  • Let x denote the distance that this car travelled.

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a\cdot x.

Given:

  • u = 3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.
  • a = 4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.
  • x = 45\; \rm m.

Rearrange the equation v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a\cdot x and solve for v:

\begin{aligned}v &= \sqrt{2\, a \cdot x + u^2} \\ &= \sqrt{2 \times 4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \times 45\; \rm m + \left(3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2}} \\ &\approx 20.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Calculate the time required for reaching this speed from u = 3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} at a = 4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}:

\begin{aligned}t &= \frac{v - u}{a} \\ &\approx \frac{20.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} \approx 3.9\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

The first law of thermodynamics is sometimes called
Leona [35]

Answer:

d) Law of Conservation of Energy

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only change from one form to another.

For multiple choice you can use an elimination method. If you remember the law then you know it's not A or C because "energy cannot be created nor destroyed", and it's not B because it has nothing to do with mass.

Hope this helps!

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The peak emf of the generator is 40.94 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns in primary coil= 11

Number of turns in secondary coil= 18

Peak voltage = 67 V

We nee to calculate the peak emf

Using relation of number of turns and emf

\dfrac{N_{1}}{N_{2}}=\dfrac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}

E_{1}=\dfrac{N_{1}}{N_{2}}\times E_{2}

Where, N₁ = Number of turns in primary coil

N₂ = Number of turns in secondary coil

E₂ = emf across secondary coil

Put the value into the formula

E_{1}=\dfrac{11}{18}\times67

E_{1}=40.94\ V

Hence, The peak emf of the generator is 40.94 V.

A 25 kg child is riding on a swing. If the child travels 8.9 m/s at the bottom of their swing, how high into the air is the chil
Setler [38]

Answer:

h = 4.04 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a child, m = 25 kg

The speed of the child at the bottom of the swing is 8.9 m/s

We need to find the height in the air is the child is able to swing. Let the height is h. Using the conservation of energy such that,

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

Put all the values,

h=\dfrac{(8.9)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=4.04\ m

So, the child is able to go at a height of 4.04 m.
