A bus slams on its breaks and goes from 30 km/hr to 15km/hr in 4 seconds. What is its acceleration?

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (15 - 30) = -15 km/hr
Time for the change = 4 sec

Acceleration = (-15 km/hr) / (4 sec) = -3.75 km/hr per second .

Is that a lot ?  Not much ?

Let's convert it to a unit that we can think about:

     (-15 km/hr) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hr / 3,600 sec) =

           (-15 x 1,000) / (3,600)  =  -(4 and 1/6) m/sec .

So the acceleration of the bus is    -(4 and 1/6) m/sec² .

The negative sign means that it slowed down.

(4 and 1/6) m/sec²  is about  42%  of the acceleration of gravity ...
the acceleration the bus would have if it drove off of a cliff.

When the car or the bus you're riding in slows down at that rate,
you feel  42%  of your weight pulling you forward against your
seat belt.  That's quite a drastic acceleration !

Two particles move along an x axis. The position of particle 1 is given by x ! 6.00t 2 # 3.00t # 2.00 (in meters and seconds); t
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

15.6m/s

Explanation:

V1=\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(6t^{2}+3t+2) because the derivate of the position is the velocity

V1=12t+3

V2=20+\int\limits^_ {} \,-8t because the integral of the acceleration is the velocity

V2=20-4t^{2}

V1=V2 to see when the velocities of particles match

12t+3=20-4t^2

4t^2+12t-17=0 we resolve this with \frac{-b+-(\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} )}{2a}

and we take the positif root

t=1.05 sec

if we evaluate the velocity (V1 or V2) the result is 15.6m/s

Two small identical metal spheres, A and B, on insulated stands, are each given a charge of +2.0 x 10-5 coulomb. The distance be
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

a) 90 N

Explanation:

Coulomb's law: states that the electric force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

It is represented mathematically as

F = 1/4πε₀(q₁q₂)/d²......................... Equation 1

Where F = Electrostatic force, q₁ = charge on the first metal sphere, q₂ = charge on the second metal sphere, d = distance between the spheres, 1/4πε₀ = proportionality constant.

<em>Given: q₁ = +2.0×10⁻⁵ C, q₂ = 2.0×10⁻⁵, d = 2.0×10⁻¹ m</em>

<em>Constant : 1/4πε₀ = 9×10⁹Nm²/C²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>F = (9×10⁹×2.0×10⁻⁵×2.0×10⁻⁵)/(2.0×10⁻¹)²</em>

<em>F = (9×4×10⁻¹)/4×10⁻²</em>

<em>F = 90 N</em>

Therefore the electrostatic force is = 90 N

The right option is a) 90 N
