The speed limit on some interstate highways is roughly 90 km/h. (a) What is this in meters per second

Physics
1 answer:
attashe74 [19]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

⠀⠀⠀⇒ Speed = 90 km/h

⠀⠀⠀⇒ Speed = 90 km/60 min [As 1 hr = 60 min]

⠀⠀⠀⇒ Speed = (90 × 1000) m/(60 × 60)sec

⠀⠀⠀⇒ Speed = 90000 m/3600 sec

⠀⠀⠀⇒ Speed = 900 m/36 sec

⠀⠀⠀⇒ Speed = 300 m/12 sec

⠀⠀⠀⇒ Speed = 100 m/4 sec

⠀⠀⠀⇒ Speed = 25 m/s

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.
pav-90 [236]
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of.  These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.

What happens to the electric potential energy of a negatively charged ion as it moves through the water from the negative probe
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is the potential energy which is associated with the configuration of points charge in a system and it is the result of conservative coulomb force.

When the negatively charge ion is at the position of the negative probe than its potential energy is positive when it is move towards the positive probe it's potential energy becomes negative due to the negative ion.

Therefore, potential energy is decreases when negative charge ion moves through the water from negative probe to positive probe.

A ball initially at rest rolls down a hill with an acceleration of 3.3 m/s2. If it accelerates for 7.5 s, how far will it move?
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

  Ball will move 92.8125 meter along the cliff in 7.5 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 3.3 m/s^2, we need to calculate displacement when time = 7.5 seconds.

Substituting

  s=0*7.5+\frac{1}{2} *3.3*7.5^2\\ \\ =92.8125 meter

  So ball will move 92.8125 meter along the cliff in 7.5 seconds.

A calorimeter directly measures ______ in order to calculate ______. (1 point)
Aneli [31]

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and \Delta T is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.

n a downhill ski race, surprisingly, little advantage is gained by getting a running start. (This is because the initial kinetic
Annette [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) starting from rest , so u = o and initial kinetic energy = 0 .

Let mass of the skier = m

Kinetic energy gained = potential energy lost

= mgh = mg l sinθ

= m x 9.8 x 70 x sin 30

= 343 m

Total kinetic energy at the base = 343 m  + 0 = 343 m .

b )

In this case initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x m x 2.5²

= 3.125 m

Total kinetic energy at the base

= 3.125 m  + 343 m

= 346.125 m

c ) It is not surprising as energy gained due to gravitational force by the earth is enormous . So component of energy gained due to gravitational force far exceeds the initial kinetic energy . Still in a competitive event , the fractional initial kinetic energy may be the deciding factor .
