Answer:

The car's acceleration is  a=1.25\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

According to the provided information,

Initial velocity, u = 0

Final velocity, v = 5 m/s

Time interval, t = 4 s

To calculate the average acceleration during this time, we find the rate of change in velocity, given by:

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

a=\dfrac{(5-0)\ m/s}{4\ s}

a=1.25\ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration observed in the car is  a=1.25\ m/s^2. Consequently, the appropriate answer is option (D).

The average acceleration is

\bar a=\dfrac{5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{4\,\mathrm s}=1.25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

1. Use Coulomb’s Law (equation below) to calculate the approximate force felt by an electron at point A in the schematic below.
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

Explanation:

The data indicates that point A is located midway between two charges.

To calculate the electric field at point A, we begin with the field produced by charge -Q ( 6e⁻ ) at A:

= 9 x 10⁹ x 6 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / (2.5)² x 10⁻⁴

= 13.82 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

This field points towards Q⁻.

A similar field will arise from the charge Q⁺, but it will direct away from Q⁺ toward Q⁻.

To find the resultant field, we add these contributions:

= 2 x 13.82 x 10⁻⁶

= 27.64 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

For the force acting on an electron placed at A:

= charge x field

= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 27.64 x 10⁻⁶

= 44.22 x 10⁻²⁵ N

Ronnie kicks a playground ball with an initial velocity of 16 m/s at an angle of 40° relative to the ground. What is the approxi
Softa [3030]
The calculation for the horizontal component is performed as follows:
Vhorizontal = V · cos(angle)

For your instance, Vhorizontal = 16 · cos(40) equates to 12.3 m/s

Conclusion: 12.3 m/s

A capacitor with initial charge q0 is discharged through a resistor. What multiple of the time constant τ gives the time the cap
Maru [3345]
a) 0.13*τ; b) 2.08*τ. To describe the discharging process of a capacitor through a resistor, consider the following: Q(t) = Qo * exp(-t/τ) to signify a loss of 1/8 of its charge. In this scenario, Q(t) = 7/8 * Qo = 7/8 * exp(-t/τ). By rearranging, we have ln(7/8)*τ = -t, thus t = -ln(7/8)*τ = 0.13. For a loss of 7/8 of its charge, we use Q(t) = 1/7 * Qo * exp(-t/τ), leading to t = -ln(1/8)*τ = 2.08.

When a downward force is applied at a point 0.60 m to the left of a fulcrum, equilibrium is obtained by placing a mass of 10–7 k
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

force = 6.53× 10^{-7} N

Explanation:

Provided data

downward force = 0.60 m

mass m = 10^{-7} kg

distance h = 0.40 m

to determine

magnitude of the downward force

solution

we know here mg is apply 0.4 m away from support and

thus applied force is d = 0.6 m from support

therefore

by balancing torque we can compute force

as

force = mass × g × h / d

substituting the values

force = mass × g × h / d

force = ( 10^{-7} × 9.81 × 0.4 ) / 0.6

force = 6.53× 10^{-7} N
