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)

We apply the data to the formula of the hourly function of the velocity, let us see:

$V_f = V_i + a*t$

$0 = 10 + a*20$

$- 10 = 20\:a$

$20\:a = - 10$

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

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

Answer:

The acceleration is -0.5 m/s² (decelerate)

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

A rectangular loop with dimensions 4.20 cm by 9.50 cm carries current I. The current in the loop produces a magnetic field at th

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

I=1.48 A

Explanation:

Given that

B=3.1 x 10⁻5 T

b= 4.2 cm

l= 9.5 cm

The relationship for magnetic field and current given as

$B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D$

Where

$D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}$

By putting the values

$D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}$

$D=\dfrac{\sqrt{0.042^2+0.095^2}}{0.042\times 0.095}$

D=26.03 m⁻¹

$B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D$

$3.1\times 10^{-5}=\dfrac{2\times 4\times \pi \times 10^{-7} I}{\pi}\times 26.03$

$I=\dfrac{3.1\times 10^{-5}}{{2\times 4\times 10^{-7} }\times 26.03}$

I=1.48 A

A paleontologist estimates that when a particular rock formed, it contained 12 mg of the radioactive isotope potassium-40, which

leva [86]

Answer:

$t = 2.52 billion \:years$

Explanation:

As we know by radioactivity law

$N = N_o e^{-\lambda t}$

so here we will have

$N = 3 mg$

$N_o = 12 mg$

now we will have

$3 = 12 e^{-\lambda t}$

$\lambda t = ln 4$

now we also know that

$\lambda = \frac{ln2}{1.26 \times 10^6 yrs}$

$t = 1.26\times 10^6\times \frac{ln4}{ln2}$

$t = 2.52 billion \:years$

A 500kg car skids to a stop at a traffic light, leaving behind a 18.25m skid mark as it comes to a rest. Assuming that the car i

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.587

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 500 kg

Distance s = 18.25 m

Initial velocity of the car u = 14.5 m/sec

As the car finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$0^2=14.5^2+2\times a\times 18.25$

$a=-5.76m/sec^2$

We know that acceleration is given by

$a=\mu g$

$5.76=\mu\times 9.81$

$\mu =0.587$

So coefficient of friction will be 0.587
