1. Why is it easier to change the motion of a large toy car than a small toy car?

1 answer:

7 0

Because it is acted upon by balanced forces.

Toy cars use a variety of mechanisms to make them go, but they all store up potential energy. Although the elastic material inside is usually steel and not rubber, the principle is the same. By changing the shape of the material (usually a coil of metal) energy is stored and then released as motion.

A car enters a freeway with a speed of 6.5 m/s and accelerates to a speed of 24 m/s in 3.5 min. How far does the car travel whil

Vesna [10]

Explanation:

Using Equations of Motion :

(1) v = u + at

24 = 6.5 + a * 210

a (Acceleration) = 0.083 m/s^2

(2) v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

S = 576 - 42.25 / 0.166

S (Distance travelled) = 3215.3 m 

(Option A seems a typo since the answer is 3215.3 m)

A ball is dropped , find the velocity after 100 m

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Vf = 44.27 m/s

Explanation:

When a ball is dropped it is acted upon by gravitational force under free fall motion. So, in order to find its final speed we use 2rd equation of motion, as follows:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height lost = 100 m

Vf = Final Velocity = ?

Vi = Initial velocity = 0 m/s (Since, ball starts from rest)

Therefore,

(2)(9.8 m/s²)(100 m) = Vf² - (0 m/s)²

Vf = √(1960 m²/s²)

Vf = 44.27 m/s

What sort of process converts the mechanized energy in the ocean into electricity?

allochka39001 [22]

I think it is the wave energy.
Wave energy also known as the ocean energy is the energy harnessed from the ocean or sea waves. It is a source of power that comes from the endless march of the waves as they roll into the shore then back out. Using wave energy is advantageous as they are environmental friendly as there are no harmful byproducts, and also the energy from waves can be taken directly into electricity-producing machinery and used to power generators.

defon

Answer:

$36.4276\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

m = Mass of stick

L = Length of stick = 1 m

h = Center of mass of stick = $\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5\ m$

g = Acceleration due to gravity

T = Time period = 0.85 s

Time period is given by

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{mgh}}$

Moment of inertia is given by

$I=m\dfrac{L^2}{3}$

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m\dfrac{L^2}{3}}{mgh}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L^2}{3gh}}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{4\pi^2L^2}{3hT^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 1^2}{3\times 0.5\times 0.85^2}\\\Rightarrow g=36.4276\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of gravity on this planet is $36.4276\ m/s^2$
