Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{v}{t} \\$

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question we have

$a = \frac{160}{4.5} = 35.55555...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

The kinetic energy of a rotating body is generally written as K=12Iω2, where I is the moment of inertia. Find the moment of iner

stira [4]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We have a mass $m$ revolving around an axis with an angular speed $\omega$ , the distance from the axis is $r$ . We are given:

$\omega = 10 [rad/s]\\r=0.5 [m]\\m=13[Kg]$

and also the formula which states that the kinetic rotational energy of a body is:

$K =\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$ .

Now we use the kinetic energy formula

$K =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where $v$ is the tangential velocity of the particle. Tangential velocity is related to angular velocity by:

$v=\omega r$

After replacing in the previous equation we get:

$K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$

now we have the following:

$K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2 =\frac{1}{2}Iw^2$

therefore:

$mr^2=I$

then the moment of inertia will be:

$I = 13*(0.5)^2=3.25 [Kg*m^2]$

If the architectural plans show the rough opening of a window to be 3'-3" x 4'-9" , the height of the opening should actually me

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

height of the opening actually measure is 4'-9"

Explanation:

given data

window size = 3'-3" x 4'-9"

solution

height of the opening should actually measure will be 4'-9" in 3'-3" x 4'-9"

because according to architectural plan height can not be more than the opening size of window

and we can't take smaller height also

so fit in opening window we should take same height of height of opening window and that is here 4'-9"

so here height of the opening actually measure is 4'-9"

Douglas has a segment with endpoints I(5, 2) and J(9, 10) that is divided by a point K such that IK and KJ form a 2:3 ratio. He

Rufina [12.5K]

For the answer to the question above,
the distance from i to j is 5 parts
(2 parts from i to k and 3 parts from k to j)

The y distance from i to j is
10 - 2 = 8

Each part is 8/5 = 1.6
Therefore the distance between the 2 parts from i to k is 3.2

From the y coordinate of I which is 2 plus the 3.2 to point k
2 + 3.2 = 5.2

Answer y =5.2

Now just convert that to fraction and that will be the answer

A 250. mL sample of gas at 1.00 atm and 20.0°C has the temperature increased to 40.0°C and the volume increased to 500. mL. What

ladessa [460]

Answer:

New pressure is 0.534 atm

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume of the gas, V₁ = 250 mL

Initial pressure of the gas, P₁ = 1.00 atm

Initial temperature of the gas, T₁ = 20° C = 293 K

Final volume of the gas, V₂ = 500 mL

Final pressure of the gas = P₂

Final temperature of the gas, T₁ = 40° C = 313 K

now,

we know for a gas

PV = nRT

where,

n is the moles

R is the ideal gas constant

also, for a constant gas

we have

(P₁V₁/T₁) = (P₂V₂/T₂)

on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

(1.00 × 250)/293 = (P₂ × 500)/313

P₂ = 0.534 atm

Hence, the <u>new pressure is 0.534 atm</u>
