Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ 20 \ m/s }}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the initial speed of a car.

We are given the final speed, the time, and the acceleration, so we will use the following kinematic equation:

$v_f=v_i+at$

We know the final speed is 40 meters per second, the acceleration is 4 meters per second squared, and the time is 5 seconds.

$v_f$ = 40 m/s
t= 5 s
a= 4 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

$40 \ m/s = v_i+(4 \ m/s^2 * 5 \ s)$

Multiply inside the parentheses.

$40 \ m/s =v_i+ 20 \ m/s$

We are solving for the initial speed, so we must isolate the variable $v_i$ .

20 meters per second is being added to $v_i$ . The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. Subtract 20 m/s from both sides of the equation.

$40 \ m/s - 20 \ m/s = v_i + 20 \ m/s - 20 \ m/s$

$40 \ m/s - 20 m/ s = v_i$

$20 \ m/s=v_i$

The initial speed of the car is <u>20 meters per second</u> and <u>choice C</u> is correct.

We use the formula:
V= u + at

V- final velocity. U- intial velocity. A- acceleration. T- time

Note: velocity is speed in this question

Fill in values:
V= u + at
40= u + 4 x 5
40= u + 20
40 - 20 = u
u = 20m/s

Star A and Star B have different apparent brightnesses but identical luminosities. Star A is 10 light years away from earth and

STALIN [3.7K]

intensity of a star is inversely depends on the square of the distance from the star

we can say it is given as

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

here we know that

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 36 times$

also we know that

$r_1 = 10 Ly$

now we will have

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

$36 = \frac{r_2^2}{10^2}$

$r_2 = 60 Ly$

so other star is at distance 60 Light years

a car moving with a speed of 10 metre per second is accelerator at the rate of 2 metre per second square find its velocity after

STatiana [176]

a = ( v(2) - v(1) ) ÷ ( t(2) - t(1) )

2 = ( v(2) - 10 ) ÷ ( 6 - 0 )

2 × 6 = v(2) - 10

v(2) = 12 + 10

v(2) = 22 m/s

A car going at v = 29.7 m/s (67 mph) rounds a curve of radius R = 50.0 m, where the road is banked at an angle of θ = 30.0°. Wha

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

μ = 0.6

Explanation:

given,

speed of car = 29.7 m/s

Radius of curve = 50 m

θ = 30.0°

minimum static friction = ?

now,

writing all the forces acting along y-direction

N cos θ - f sinθ = mg

N cos θ -μN sinθ = mg

$N = \dfrac{m g}{cos\theta-\mu sin \theta}$

now, writing the forces acting along x- direction

N sin θ + f cos θ = F_{net}

N cos θ + μN sinθ = F_{net}

$\dfrac{m g}{cos\theta-\mu sin \theta}(cos \theta + \mu sin\theta)=F_{net}$

taking cos θ from nominator and denominator

$F_{net} =\dfrac{tan\theta + \mu}{1-\mutan\theta}. mg$

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=\dfrac{tan\theta + \mu}{1-\mutan\theta}. mg$

$\dfrac{v^2}{r}=\dfrac{tan\theta + \mu}{1-\mutan\theta}g$

$\mu=\dfrac{v^2 -r g tan\theta}{v^2tan\theta + r g}$

now, inserting all the given values

$\mu=\dfrac{29.7^2 -50 \times 9.8tan 30^0}{29.7^2\times tan 30^0 +50 \times 9.8}$

μ = 0.6

Answer:

1keff=1k1+1k2

see further explanation

Explanation:for clarification

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination. Also, each spring must exert the same force. Do you see why?

From Hooke's law , we know that the force exerted on an elastic object is directly proportional to the extension provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Now the spring is in series combination

F $\alpha$ e

F=ke

k=f/e.........*

where k is the force constant or the constant of proportionality

k=f/e

$f_{eff} =f_{1} +f_{2}$ ............................1

also for effective force constant

divide all through by extension

1) Total force is

Ft=F1+F2

Ft=k1e1+k2e2

F = k(e1+e2) 2)

Since force on the 2 springs is the same, so

k1e1=k2e2

e1=F/k1 and e2=F/k2,

and e1+e2=F/keq

Substituting e1 and e2, you get

1/keq=1/k1+1/k2

Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination.
