The distance required for a car to come to a stop will vary depending on how fast the car is moving. Suppose that a certain car

traveling down the road at a speed of 20 m / s 20 m/s can come to a complete stop within a distance of 80 m 80 m . Assuming the road conditions remain the same, what would be the stopping distance required for the same car if it were moving at speeds of 10 m / s 10 m/s , 40 m / s 40 m/s , or 5 m / s 5 m/s ?

Answer:

Explanation:

If F be the force acting on the car to stop it

work done by force = change in kinetic energy

F X 80 = 1/2 m x 20²

F = 2.5 m

If speed is 10m/s

for distance d , the equation is

F x d = 1/2 x m x 10²

2.5 m x d = 1/2 x m x 10²

d = 20 m

If velocity is 40 m /s

F x d = 1/2 x m x 40²

2.5m x d = 1/2 m x 1600

d = 320 m

For v = 5 m/s

F x d = 1/2 m x 5²

2.5 m x d = 1/2 m x 5²

d = 5 m .

Find the final velocity
Verizon [17]

Answer: v = 4.4 m/s

Explanation:

In the absence of friction, the total mechanical energy will be constant

KE₀ + PE₀ = KE₁ + PE₁

0 + mg(6) = ½mv₁² + mg(5)

½mv₁² = mg(6 - 5)

v = √(2g(1)) = 4.4 m/s

Rubber rods charged by rubbing with cat fur repel each other. Glass rods charged by rubbing with silk repel each other. A rubber
puteri [66]

Answer:

C. A rubber rod and a glass rod charged this way have opposite charges on them.

Explanation:

When a rubber rod is rubbed against cat fur, it acquires a negative charge, it becomes negatively charged.

When you then try to bring two rubber rod's together, they repel because like charges repel.

Meanwhile, when you rub a glass rod against silk, it loses electrons to the silk material and becomes positively charged.

When you bring two positively charged glass rod's together, they repel, because like charges repel.

However, when you bring the rubber rod and a glass rod together, the attract each other because unlike/opposite charges attract.

A water balloon is thrown horizontally from a tower that is 45 m high. It strikes the shoes of an unsuspecting passerby who is 4
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

14.85 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the balloon to hit the shoe of the passerby. This is illustrated below:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

45 = 4.8 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(45/4.9)

t = 3.03 s

Finally, we shall determine the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon as shown below:

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Time (t) = 3.03 s

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

s = ut

45 = u × 3.03

Divide both side by 3.03

u = 45/3.03

u = 14.85 m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon was 14.85 m/s

A positively charged particle is in the center of a parallel-plate capacitor that has charge ±Q on its plates. SUppose the dista
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Stay the same

Explanation:

First of all, let's find how the capacitance of the capacitor changes.

Initially, it is given by

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

From the formula, we see that the capacitance is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates. In this problem, the distance between the plates is doubled, so the capacitance will be halved:

C' = \frac{1}{2}C

The potential difference across the capacitor is given by

V= \frac{Q}{C}

where

Q is the charge on the plates

C is the capacitance

We see that the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance. We said that the capacitance has halved: therefore, the potential difference across the two plates will double:

V' = 2 V

Now we can analyze the electric field between the plates of the capacitor, which is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}

we said that:

- The voltage has doubled: V' = 2 V

- The distance between the plates has doubled: d' = 2 d

therefore, the new electric field will be

E'=\frac{2V}{2d}=\frac{V}{d}=E

So, the electric field is unchanged. And since the force on the particle at the center is directly proportional to the electric field:

F = qE

Then the force on the particle will stay the same.
