A car is moving at 10 m/s to the right. It accelerates for 10 s after which it is moving at 5 m/s to the left. What was the car'

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=-1.5\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 10 m/s (in right)

Final velocity of the car, v = -5 m/s (in left)

Time taken, t = 10 s

Let a is the acceleration of the car. It can be calculated using the equation of kinematics. The equation is as :

$v=u+at$

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{-5-10}{10}$

$a=-1.5\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $-1.5\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A 2 nC point charge is at the origin, and a second 5 nC point charge is on the x-axis at x = 8 m. Find the electric field (magni

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field is 5.75 N/C towards positive x- axis.

Explanation:

Given that,

Point charge at origin = 2 nC

Second charge = 5 nC

Distance at x axis = 8 m

We need to calculate the electric field at the point x = 2 m

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}(\dfrac{q_{1}}{r_{1}^2}+\dfrac{q_{2}}{r_{2}^2})$

Put the value into the formula

$E=9\times10^{9}\times(\dfrac{2\times10^{-9}}{2^2}+\dfrac{5\times10^{-9}}{(8-2)^2})$

$E=5.75\ N/C$

The direction is toward positive x- axis.

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field is 5.75 N/C towards positive x- axis.

At the Indianapolis 500, you can measure the speed of cars just by listening to the difference in pitch of the engine noise betw

allsm [11]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Dopler effect.

The equation is defined by

$f_i = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}$

Where

$f_h$ = Approaching velocities

$f_i$ = Receding velocities

c = Speed of sound

v = Emitter speed

And

$f_h = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}$

Therefore using the values given we can find the velocity through,

$\frac{f_h}{f_0}=\frac{c-v}{c+v}$

$v = c(\frac{f_h-f_i}{f_h+f_i})$

Assuming the ratio above, we can use any f_h and f_i with the ratio 2.4 to 1

$v = 353(\frac{2.4-1}{2.4+1})$

$v = 145.35m/s$

Therefore the cars goes to 145.3m/s
