A cartoon shows two friends watching an unoccupied car in free fall after it has rolled off a diff. One friend says to the other

, "It goes from zero to sixty mphin about three seconds." Is this statement correct? (Note that 60 mph converts to 26.8 m/s.)

Answer:

The statement is not correct.

Explanation:

To know if the statement is correct, we shall determine the velocity of the car after 3 s. This is illustrated below.

Data obtained from the question include:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 3 s

Final velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 3)

v = 0 + 29.4

v = 29.4 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the car after 3 s is 29.4 m/s.

Hence, the statement made by the friend is not correct as the car has a falling velocity of 29.4 m/s after 3 s.

We are asked to know the reason why magnetic dipole can be written as U = -m *B. The reason for this was that the negative sign is just showing or indicating the direction of the force. If it if negative, it means that the work done is opposite to the force field.

The question states: two large, parallel conducting plates are 12cm
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

1. 24375 N/C

2. 2925 V

Explanation:

d = 12 cm = 0.12 m

F = 3.9 x 10^-15 N

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

1. The relation between the electric field and the charge is given by

F = q E

So, E=\frac{F}{q}

E=\frac{3.9 \times 10^{-15}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

E = 24375 N/C

2. The potential difference and the electric field is related by the given relation.

V = E x d

where, V be the potential difference, E be the electric field strength and d be the distance between the electrodes.

By substituting the values, we get

V = 24375 x 0.12 = 2925 Volt

What is acceleration measured in?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of units, dividing meters per second [m/s] by second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared.





This I what it showed when I looked it up so if your writing this down try and put some in your own words
