A car is being driven along a road at 25m/s when the driver suddenly notices that there is a fallen tree blocking the road 65m a

head. The driver immediately applies the brakes giving the car a constant velocity of 5m/s2. How far in front of the tree does the car come to rest?

Hi there!

We can use the following equation to solve for displacement:

vf² = vi² + 2ad, where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

a = acceleration

d = displacement

Since the car will come to rest, vf = 0, so:

0 = vi² + 2ad

Plug in the given values:

0 = 25² + 2(-5)d (Breaking is a negative acceleration in this instance)

Solve:

0 = 25² - 10d

10d = 625

d = 62.5m

Subtract from the total distance from the car to the tree:

65 - 62.5 = 2.5m

An object is swung in a horizontal circle on a length of string that is 0.93 m long. Its acceleration is 26.36 m/s2. What is the
Igoryamba

Answer:

The object takes approximately 1.180 seconds to complete one horizontal circle.  

Explanation:

From statement we know that the object is experimenting an Uniform Circular Motion, in which acceleration (a), measured in meters per square second, is entirely centripetal and is expressed as:

a = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot R}{T^{2}} (1)

Where:

T - Period of rotation, measured in seconds.

R - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

If we know that a = 26.36\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and R = 0.93\,m, then the time taken by the object to complete one revolution is:

T^{2} = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot R}{a}

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{R}{a} }

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{0.93\,m}{26.36\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} } }

T \approx 1.180\,s

The object takes approximately 1.180 seconds to complete one horizontal circle.

Why are electrons, rather than protons, the principal charge carriers in metal wires?
Ket [755]
<span>because in any atom the electrons are in the outer orbitals while protons are within the nucleus together with the neutrons. If energy is supplied electrons can jump to higher energy levels and leave the lower orbitals. 
Especially in metals the conduction band is partially filled at room temperature with allows free flow of electrons throughout the metal thus they carry charge. 
(it requires huge amounts of energy to remove a proton from the nucleus such things happen on the surface of sun).</span><span>
