Answer:

Well, I think you're talking about kinematics, especially uniform rectilinear motion. We know that there is a specific equation for that:

S = Vt + S0

With S being the distance, V the velocity, t the time and S0 the initial distance (initial displacement).

From this you can calculate t, if that's what you want.

A golf club with 65J of kinetic energy strikes a stationary golf ball with a mass of 46g. The energy transfer is only 20% effici

umka21 [38]

Kinetic energy of golf club = 65J,
kinetic energy supplied to golf ball = 20% of 65 = 0.2 * 65 = 13J,
kinetic energy of ball = [mass * Velocity²]/2,
mass = 46gm = 0.046Kg,
[0.046 * V²]/2 = 13, or 0.046 *V² = 26,
V² = 26/0.046 = 565.22,
V = 23.77 m/sec = initial velocity of golf ball after hitting.

(a) Calculate the force (in N) needed to bring a 1100 kg car to rest from a speed of 85.0 km/h in a distance of 125 m (a fairly

nasty-shy [4]

(a) -2451 N

We can start by calculating the acceleration of the car. We have:

$u=85.0 km/h = 23.6 m/s$ is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

d = 125 m is the stopping distance

So we can use the following equation

$v^2 - u^2 = 2ad$

To find the acceleration of the car, a:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(23.6 m/s)^2}{2(125 m)}=-2.23 m/s^2$

Now we can use Newton's second Law:

F = ma

where m = 1100 kg to find the force exerted on the car in order to stop it; we find:

$F=(1100 kg)(-2.23 m/s^2)=-2451 N$

and the negative sign means the force is in the opposite direction to the motion of the car.

(b) $-1.53\cdot 10^5 N$

We can use again the equation

$v^2 - u^2 = 2ad$

To find the acceleration of the car. This time we have

$u=85.0 km/h = 23.6 m/s$ is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

d = 2.0 m is the stopping distance

Substituting and solving for a,

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(23.6 m/s)^2}{2(2 m)}=-139.2 m/s^2$

So now we can find the force exerted on the car by using again Newton's second law:

$F=ma=(1100 kg)(-139.2 m/s^2)=-1.53\cdot 10^5 N$

As we can see, the force is much stronger than the force exerted in part a).

How is current related to voltage?

Tju [1.3M]

The relationship between current and voltage and resistance is described by ohlm's law. This equation i=v/r tells that the current i flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage v, and inversely proportional to resistance r. This desceibes the relationship of voltage, current and resistance.

What is the distance that a car travels if it was brought to stop in 5 seconds and if it was traveling at 110 Km/h

Triss [41]

Answer:

Suppose that the acceleration is a constant, a.

a(t) = a.

To write the velocity equation, we must integrate over time, and the constant of integration will be equal to the initial velocity, in this case is 110km/h.

v(t) = a*t + 110km/h

And we know that at t = 5s, the car was brought to stop, so the velocity must be zero.

v(5s) = 0 = a*5s + 110km/h.

a = (110km/h)*(1/5s)

now we have that:

1 hour = 3600 seconds.

1km = 1000m

then:

110km/h = (110*1000/3600)m/s = 30.56 m/s

Then we have:

a = (-30.55 m/s)/5s = -6.11 m/s^2

Now the velocity equation is:

v(t) = -6.11m/s^2*t + 30.56m/s

To write the positon equation we must integrate over time again, we can get:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-6.11m/s^2)*t^2 + (30.56m/s)*t + p0

Where p0 is the initial position, here i will assume that is zero, because it does no really mater.

The total displacement of the car will be equal to p(5s)

p(5s) = (1/2)*(-6.11m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + (30.56m/s)*(5s) = 76.425 meters.
