Assume you are driving 20 mph on a straight road. Also, assume that at a speed of 20 miles per hour, it takes 100 feet to stop.

If you were to increase your speed to 60 miles per hour, your stopping distance is now:

Answer:900 feet

Explanation:

Given

Velocity \left ( V_1\right )=20 mph\approx 29.334 ft/s

It takes 100 feet to come to a stop.

Utilizing the equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

Where

v,u=Final and initial velocities

a=acceleration

s=distance traveled

0-\left ( 29.334\right )^2=2\left (-a\right )\left ( 100\right )

a=\frac{29.334^2}{2\times 100}=4.302 ft/s^2

When the speed is 60 mph \approx 88.002 ft/s

v^2-u^2=2as

0-\left ( 88.002\right )^2=2\left ( -4.302\right )\left ( s\right )

s=900.08 feet

Answer:

900 feet

Explanation:

Initial speed, u₁ = 20 mph

Stopping distance, s₁ = 100 feet

Initial speed, u₂ = 60 mph

Thus, the stopping distance can be determined using the third motion equation:

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

The acceleration remains constant, and the final velocity is zero (v=0).

s=\frac{0-u^2}{2a}\\ \frac{s_2}{s_1}=\frac{u_2^2}{u_1^2}\\s_2= 100 ft\frac{(60)^2}{(20)^2} =900 feet

The amount of electric energy consumed by a 60.0-watt lightbulb for 1.00 minute could lift a
Sav [1105]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a 60W light bulb used for 1 minute:

P = 60 W

t = 1 minute = 60 seconds

This energy is capable of lifting an object weighing 10N.

W = 10N

This indicates conversion of electrical energy into potential energy.

Let's calculate the electrical energy:

Power describes the rate of work done.

Power = Work / time

Thus, work = power × time

Work = 60 × 60

Work = 3600 J

Potential energy calculation:

P.E = mgh

Where the weight is given by:

W = mg

Therefore, P.E = W·h

P.E = 10·h

Thus, we equate:

Potential energy = Electrical energy

P.E = Work

10·h = 3600

Dividing both sides by 10 gives:

h = 3600 / 10

h = 360m

The object can be lifted to a height of 360m.

A bathtub contains 65 gallons of water and the total weight of the tub and water is approximately 931.925 pounds. You pull the p
Keith_Richards [1034]

Response:

Q = 8,345 * v

Clarification:

We need an expression that shows how much water has been drained from the tub. This is represented by v, which indicates how many gallons have flowed out since the plug was taken out. Each gallon removed equates to 8.345 pounds of water, so the weight of the drained water Q in pounds as a function of v can be expressed as:

Q = 8,345 * v

Where v signifies the number of gallons emptied from the tub.

Have a great day! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist with.

Yuliya22 [1153]

To tackle this question, we know the following:

1 Albert equals 88 meters.

1 A = 88 m.

Initially, we square both sides of the equation:

(1 A)^2 = (88 m)^2

1 A^2 = 7,744 m^2

<span>Since 1 acre equals 4,050 m^2, let’s divide both sides by 7,744 to find out how many acres match this value:</span>

1 A^2 / 7,744 = 7,744 m^2 / 7,744

(1 / 7,744) A^2 = 1 m^2

Then multiply both sides by 4,050.

(4050 / 7744) A^2 = 4050 m^2

0.523 A^2 = 4050 m^2

<span>Thus, one acre is approximately 0.52 square alberts.</span>

An object is at rest on the ground. The object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth. Which of the following pre
Yuliya22 [1153]

Answer:

A) and B) are valid.

Explanation:

When an object remains at rest, it is indicative that no net force acts upon it.

The downward gravitational force from Earth must be counterbalanced by an upward force of equal magnitude in order to maintain rest.

This upward force is provided by the normal force, which adjusts to satisfy Newton’s 2nd Law and is always perpendicular to the surface supporting the object (in this instance, the ground).

At the molecular level, this normal force comes from the ground's bonded molecules acting like tiny springs, compressed by the object’s molecules, providing an upward restorative force.

Thus, statements A) and B) are true.
