Initial velocity=20m/s
Final velocity=0m/s(As the car stops)
Acceleration=-8m/s^2
Distance=s=26m

We need to verify the thrid equation of kinematics here

$\\ \tt\longmapsto v^2-u^2=2as$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto 20^2=2(-8)s$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto 400=-16s$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto s=|400/-16|$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto s=25m$

The squirrel has a good luck ,Car gets stopped just 1m away from the squirrel .

Explanation:

<u>According</u><u> to</u><u> the</u><u> Question</u>

A squirrel runs out in front of a car moving at +20m/s ( initial speed u) . The driver slams on the brakes and begins decreasing at -8m/s² ( here the acceleration is acting in opposite directions of motion a )

When Squirrel was 26 metres ( Distance from the car initially )

Using Kinematic Equation

v² = u² + 2as

On substituting the value we obtain

➥ 0² = 20² + 2 × -8 × s

➥ 0 = 400 - 16 × s

➥ -400 = -16 × s

➥ 400/16 = s

➥ 25 = s

So, the squirrel is 25 metres from the car .

A 1000 kg weather rocket is launched straight up. The rocket motor provides a constant acceleration for 16 s, then the motor sto

Fed [463]

Answer:

a) a = 34.375 m / s², b) v_f = 550 m / s

Explanation:

This problem is the launch of projectiles, they tell us to ignore the effect of the friction force.

a) Let's start with the final part of the movement, which is carried out from t= 16 s with constant speed

v_f = $\frac{x-x_1}{t}$

we substitute the values

v_f = $\frac{ 6600 -x_1}{4}$

The initial part of the movement is carried out with acceleration

v_f = v₀ + a t

x₁ = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

the rocket starts from rest v₀ = 0 with an initial height x₀ = 0

x₁ = ½ a t²

v_f = a t

we substitute the values

x₁ = 1/2 a 16²

x₁ = 128 a

v_f = 16 a

let's write our system of equations

v_f = $\frac{6600 - x_1}{4}$

x₁ = 128 a

v_f = 16 a

we substitute in the first equation

16 a = $\frac{6600 -128 a}{4}$

16 4 a = 6600 - 128 a

a (64 + 128) = 6600

a = 6600/192

a = 34.375 m / s²

b) let's find the time to reach this height

x = ½ to t²

t² = 2y / a

t² = 2 5100 / 34.375

t² = 296.72

t = 17.2 s

We can see that for this time the acceleration is zero, so the rocket is in the constant velocity part

v_f = 16 a

v_f = 16 34.375

v_f = 550 m / s

The light rays in the illustration below do not properly focus at the focal point. this problem occurs with?

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The problem occurs with all spherical mirrors.

Spherical mirrors are practical up to about inches in diameter.

Reflecting telescopes use spherical mirrors for apertures up to about 4 ".

Larger aperture telescopes use parabolic mirrors to obtain sharp focus.

A train started from rest and moved with constant acceleration. At one time it was traveling 27 m/s, and 150 m farther on it was

AlekseyPX

Explanation:

(a) Given:

Δx = 150 m

v₀ = 27 m/s

v = 54 m/s

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(54 m/s)² = (27 m/s)² + 2a (150 m)

a = 7.29 m/s²

(b) Given:

Δx = 150 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 7.29 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

150 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (7.29 m/s²) t²

t = 6.42 s

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 27 m/s

a = 7.29 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

27 m/s = (7.29 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 3.70 s

(d) Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 27 m/s

a = 7.29 m/s²

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(27 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (7.29 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 50 m

A tow truck exerts a force of 1850 N on a 840 kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{1850}{840} = \frac{185}{84} \\ = 2.20238095...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
