A motorcycle stops at a red light and then gains a speed of 12 m/s in 15s. What's its acceleration?

Physics

erastova [34]2 years ago

Option a) 0.8 m/s² is the correct answer

the acceleration of the motorcycle is 0.8 m/s²

Given the data in the question;

Since the motorcycle stopped then, initial speed u = 0 m/s

final speed v = 12 m/s

time t = 15 s

acceleration = ?

To get our acceleration, we use the first equation of motion.

This equation states that;

v = u + at

so, we simply substitute in our given values

12 m/s = 0 m/s + ( a * 15s )

12 m/s = ( a * 15 s )

so we find a

a = \frac{12m/s}{15s}

a = 0.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the motorcycle is 0.8 m/s²

Option a) 0.8 m/s² is the correct answer

If the focal length of a concave mirror is 18cm, find its radius of curvature.
Galina-37 [17]

Given :

The focal length of a concave mirror is 18 cm.

To Find :

The radius of curvature of the concave mirror.

Solution :

We know,

\text{Focal length}=\dfrac{\text{Radius of curvature}}{2}\\\\F=\dfrac{R}{2}\\\\R = 18\times 2\ cm\\\\R = 36 \ cm

Therefore, the radius of curvature of concave mirror is 36 cm.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 170 kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.25 m/s by pushing off with his legs from a 2600 kg space capsule
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut, m₁ = 170 kg

Speed of astronaut, v₁ = 2.25 m/s

mass of space capsule, m₂ = 2600 kg

Let v₂ is the speed of the space capsule. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

initial momentum = final momentum

Since, initial momentum is zero. So,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0

170\ kg\times 2.25\ m/s+2600\ kg\times v_2=0

v_2=-0.17\ m/s

So, the change in speed of the space capsule is 0.17 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 50-kg satellite circles the Earth in an orbit with a period of 120 min. What minimum energy is required to change the orbit to
uysha [10]

Answer: 2.94×10^8 J

Explanation:

Using the relation

T^2 = (4π^2/GMe) r^3

Where v= velocity

r = radius

T = period

Me = mass of earth= 6×10^24

G = gravitational constant= 6.67×10^-11

4π^2/GMe = 4π^2 / [(6.67x10^-11 x6.0x10^24)]

= 0.9865 x 10^-13

Therefore,

T^2 = (0.9865 × 10^-13) × r^3

r^3 = 1/(0.9865 × 10^-13) ×T^2

r^3 = (1.014 x 10^13) × T^2

To find r1 and r2

T1 = 120min = 120*60 = 7200s

T2 = 180min = 180*60= 10800s

Therefore,

r1 = [(1.014 x 10^13)7200^2]^(1/3) = 8.07 x 10^6 m

r2 = [(1.014 x 10^13)10800^2]^(1/3) = 10.57 x 10^6 m

Required Mechanical energy

= - GMem/2 [1/r2 - 1/r1]

= (6.67 x 10^-11 x 6.0 x 10^24 * 50)/2 * [(1/8.07 × 10^-6 )- (1/10.57 × 10^-6)]

= (2001 x 10^7)/2 * (0.1239 - 0.0945)

= (1000.5 × 10^7) × 0.0294

= 29.4147 × 10^7 J

= 2.94 x 10^8 J.
