Hello!

A car traveling at 10 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 20 seconds. What is it's acceleration ?

We have the following data:

Vi (initial velocity) = 10 m/s (starts)

Vf (final velocity) = 0 m/s (stop)

t (time) = 20 s

a (acceleration) = ? (in m/s²)

<u><em>We apply the data to the formula of the hourly function of the velocity, let us see:</em></u>

V_f = V_i + a*t

0 = 10 + a*20

- 10 = 20\:a

20\:a = - 10

a = \dfrac{-1\diagup\!\!\!\!0}{2\diagup\!\!\!\!0}

\boxed{\boxed{a = - 0.5\:m/s^2}}\Longrightarrow(the\:car\:slows\:down)\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\green{\checkmark}

<u><em>Answer:  </em></u>

<u><em>The acceleration is -0.5 m/s² (decelerate)  </em></u>

Answer:

-0.5 m/s

Explanation:

given:

u (initial velocity) = 10 m/s

v (Final velocity) = 0 m/s (because it is given that it comes to a complete stop)

t (time taken) = 20 s

therefore,

acceleration = v - u / t

a = 0 - 10 / 20  

a = -10 / 20

a =  -1/2

a = -0.5

There is a acceleration of -0.5 m/s

How much kinetic energy does a proton gain if it is accelerated, with no friction, through a potential difference of 1.00 V? The
ra1l [238]

Answer:

If energy is conserved, then the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy is a constant.

Assuming the proton starts from rest, so it's kineitc energy is zero, but it has a potential energy, PE equal to:

PE = qV

where q =1.6 x 10^-19 C

and V = 1.00 V

Assuming the proton no longer experiences the potential energy and it is all converted to kinetic energy then:

PE* = 0,

KE* = 1/(2mv^2)

Now since

PE + KE = Total energy =PE* + KE*

Therefore,

qV + 0 = 0 + 1/2mv^2

Or

KE = qV = 1.6 10^-19 J

Calculate the electric field intensity at a point 3 cm away from point charge of 3 x 10^-9 C.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The electric field intensity is <u>30000 N/C.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of the point charge is, q=3\times 10^{-9}\ C

Distance of the given point from the point charge is, d=3\ cm=0.03\ m

Electric field intensity is directly proportional to the magnitude of point charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the point and the given charge.

Therefore, electric field intensity 'E' at a distance of 'd' from a point charge 'q' is given as:

E=\frac{kq}{d^2}

Plug in k=9\times 10^9\ N\cdot m^2/C^2, q=3\times 10^{-9}\ C, d=0.03\ m. Solve for 'E'.

E=\frac{(9\times 10^9\ N\cdot m^2/C^2)(3\times 10^{-9}\ C)}{(0.03\ m)^2}\\\\E=\frac{27}{0.0009}\ N/C\\\\E=30000\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field intensity at a point 3 cm from the point charge is 30000 N/C.

Your roommate leaves a 120W fan running in your apartment.Over the course of an hour,how much thermal energy does the fan add to
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

4.32\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

Power is related to energy by the following relationship:

P=\frac{E}{t}

where

P is the power used

E is the energy used

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we know that

- the power of the fan is P = 120 W

- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of

t = 1 h \cdot (60 min/h)(60 s/min)=3600 s

So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:

E=Pt=(120 W)(3600 s)=4.32\cdot 10^5 J
