You are driving on the highway at a speed of 40 m/s (which is over the speed limit) when you notice a cop in front of you. To av

oid a ticket, you press on the brake and slow to a speed of 30 m/s over the course of 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car? WORK=BRAINLIEST
What is your car's initial velocity?

What is your car's final velocity?

How long does it take the car to slow down?

Write the equation you will use to solve this problem.

What is the acceleration of your vehicle?
+ 2.0 m/s^2
- 2.0 m/s^2
+ 8.0 m/s^2
- 6.0 m/s^2

Explanation:

U = 40m/s

V = 30m/s

T = 5 sec

A = ?

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

$a = \frac{40 - 30}{5}$

$a = \frac{10}{5}$

$a = 2$

since it's decreasing in speed, The acceleration will be " - 2.0ms^-2 " or " - 2.0m/s^2 "

Answer:

Total time spend = 48.18 hours (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Total distance = 5,300 km

Average speed = 110 km / h

Find:

Total time spend

Computation:

Time = Distance / speed

Total time spend = Total distance / Average speed

Total time spend = 5,300 / 110

Total time spend = 48.18 hours (Approx)

A 0.453 kg pendulum bob passes through the lowest part of its path at a speed of 2.58 m/s. What is the tension in the pendulum c

harkovskaia [24]

Answer with Explanation:

Mass of pendulum bob, m=0.453 kg

Speed, $v_1=$ 2.58 m/s

a.r=75.1 cm= $75.1\times 10^{-2}m$ =0.751 m

$1cm=10^{-2} m$

Tension in the pendulum cable is given by

Tension=Centripetal force+force due to gravity

$T=\frac{mv^2}{r}+mg$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$T=\frac{0.453(2.58)^2}{75.1\times 10^{-2}}+0.453\times 9.8$

$T=8.45 N$

b.When the pendulum reaches its highest point,then

Final velocity, $v_2=0$

According to law of conservation of energy

$mgh_1+\frac{1}{2}mv^2_1=mgh_2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2_2$

$gh_1+\frac{1}{2}v^2_1=gh_2+\frac{1}{2}v^2_2$

$h_1=0$

Substitute the values

$9.8\times 0+\frac{1}{2}(2.58)^2=9.8\times h_2+\frac{1}{2}(0)^2$

$3.3282=9.8h_2$

$h_2=\frac{3.3282}{9.8}=0.34 m$

The angle mad by cable with the vertical= $cos\theta=\frac{0.751-0.34}{0.751}=0.55$

$\theta=cos^{-1}(0.55)=56.6^{\circ}$

c.When the pendulum reaches at highest point then

Acceleration, a=0

Therefore, the tension in the pendulum cable

$T=mgcos\theta$

Substitute the values

$T=0.453\times 9.8cos56.6$

$T=2.4 N$

One type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy. What is necessary for an object to have gravitational potential

galben [10]

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted.
