You're riding a unicorn at 25 m/s and come to a uniform stop at a red light 20m away. What's your acceleration?
Ostrovityanka [3204]

The result is -15.625 m/s².


Acceleration signifies the alteration of velocity over a specified duration. It can be calculated with this formula:


a = \dfrac{vf-vi}{t}

Where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

t = time

Let’s examine the information provided in your query:

Initially, the vehicle was traveling at 25 m/s before coming to a halt. Thus, it was in motion and subsequently ceased moving, indicating that the final velocity is 0 m/s.


However, we notice that the problem does not provide a time value. We need to determine the time taken from when it was in motion to when it reached the traffic light located 20 m away.


The time can be calculated using the kinematics equation:

d = \dfrac{vi+vf}{2} *t


We derive the equation by substituting the known values first.

20m = \dfrac{25m/s+0m/s}{2}(t)

20m = 12.5m/s{2}(t)

\dfrac{20m}{12.5m/s}=t
1.6s=t

The duration from when it was in motion until it stopped is 1.6s. Now we can utilize this in our acceleration calculation.


a = \dfrac{0m/s-25m/s}{1.6s}

a = \dfrac{-25m/s}{1.6s}

a = -15.625m/s^{2}


It is important to note that the acceleration is negative, indicating the vehicle slowed down.

Jo, Daniel and Helen are pulling a metal ring. Jo pulls with a force of 100N in one direction and Daniel with a force of 140N in
inna [3103]

Answer:

She exerts a force of 40 N.

Explanation:

The fact that the ring remains stationary indicates that the forces are in equilibrium.

Let’s denote Jo's force as x.

The equation to consider is

140 = x + 100

x = 40

A solid conducting sphere carrying charge q has radius a. It is inside a concentric hollow conducting sphere with inner radius b
Softa [3030]

Response:

Clarification:

Refer to the diagram indicating the charges on the specified sphere (see attachment).

The electric field at the stated positions is

E(r) = 0 for r≤a.  Equation 1

E(r) = kq/r² for a<r<b.   Equation 2

E(r) = 0 for b<r<c.      Equation 3

E(r) = kq/r² for r>c.    Equation 4.

We understand that electric potential correlates with the electric field through

V = Ed

A. To compute the potential at the outer surface of the hollow sphere (r=c), we determine that the electric field there is

E = kQ / r²

Then,

V = Ed,

At d = r = c

Thus,

Vc = (kQ / c²) × c

Vc = kQ / c

As a result, the total charge Q consists of +q, -q, and +q

Hence, Q = q - q + q = q

V = kq / c

B. To calculate the potential at the inner surface of the hollow sphere (r=b), we have

V = kQ/r

V = kQ / b,   noting that r = b

So, Q = q

V = kq / b

C. At r = a

Following from equation 1:

E(r) = 0 for r≤a.  Equation 1

The electric field at the surface of the solid sphere is 0, E = 0N/C

Thus,

V = Ed = 0 V

Consequently, the electric potential at the solid sphere's surface is 0.

D. At r = 0

The electric potential can be determined by

V = kq / r

As r approaches 0,

V = kq / 0

V approaches infinity.
