The driver of a 1,500 kg car is traveling at 25 m/s. A deer runs into the road and the driver slams on the brakes. If it takes t

he car 5 seconds to stop, the acceleration of the car is ____ m/s2.
a.
0.25 m/s2

b.
-0.25 m/s2

c.
5 m/s2

d.
-5 m/s2

Answer:

c.

5 m/s2

Explanation:

Δv = at

a = Δv/t

a = (0 - 25)/5

a = 5 m/s²

What average force is required to stop a 980 kg car in 9.0 s if the car is traveling at 91 km/h ?

kozerog [31]

Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma
$a = \frac{v}{t}$
You convert from km/h to m/s by dividing by 3.6:
$v = 91 \div 3.6$
$v = 25.3 \: \frac{m}{s}$
Then a is:
$a = \frac{25.3}{9}$
$a = 2.8 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }$
Then:
F=(980)(2.8)=2744 N

A metallic wire has a diameter of 4.12mm. when the current in the wire is 8.00a, the drift velocity is 5.40×10−5m/s.

Darina [25.2K]

R = 2.06 mm = 2.06 x 10^(-3) m
Q = 1.6 x 10^(-19) C
v = 2.5 x 10^(-5) m/s
I = 8 A = 8 C/s
A = r² π = ( 2.06 x 10^(-3) ) ² x 3.14 = 13.325 x 10^(-6 ) m² =
= 1.3325 x 10^(-5) m²
I = n Q v A
n = I / (Q v A)
n = 8 C/s / ( 1.6 x 10 ^(-19) * 5.4 x 10^(-5) * 1.3325 x 10^(-5) ) =
= 0.694 x 10^(29) m^(-3)
n = 6.94 x 10^(28) m^(-3)

Estimate the average force that a baseball pitcher's hand exerts on a 0.145-kg baseball as he throws a 40-m/s pitch. Assume the

Kitty [74]

Answer:

38.67 N

Explanation:

v = Final velocity = 40 m/s

u = Initial velocity

m = Mass of ball = 0.145kg

s = Displacement of ball = 3 m

Equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{40^2-0^2}{2\times 3}=\frac{800}{3}\ m/s^2$

F=ma

$\\\Rightarrow F=0.145\times \frac{800}{3}\\\Rightarrow F=38.67\ N$

∴ Average force that a baseball pitcher's hand exerts on the ball is 38.67 N
