Answer:

a) The jogger's acceleration is 1.5 m/s²

b) The car's acceleration is also 1.5 m/s²

c) Yes, the car covers a distance 76 m greater than the jogger.

Explanation:

a) Acceleration is the change in velocity over a given time interval:

a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

For the jogger:

a = (3.0 m/s - 0 m/s) / 2.0 s = 1.5 m/s²

b) For the car:

a = (41.0 m/s - 38.0 m/s) / 2.0 s = 1.5 m/s²

c) To find how far the car has traveled after 2 seconds, use the formula for position under acceleration along a straight path:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

where

x = position at time t

x₀ = initial position

v₀ = initial velocity

t = elapsed time

a = acceleration

Assuming x₀ = 0 (origin at car's starting point):

x = 38.0 m/s × 2 s + ½ × 1.5 m/s² × (2.0 s)²

x = 79 m

Similarly, position of the jogger after 2 seconds is:

x = 0 m/s × 2 s + ½ × 1.5 m/s² × (2.0 s)² = 3 m

The difference traveled by the car compared to the jogger is 79 m - 3 m = 76 m

How many electrons must be removed from a neutral, isolated conducting sphere to give it a positive charge of 8.0 x 10 8 C? [Q=n
inna [3103]

The new charge of the ball will amount to 8x10^8C after removing 5x10^27 electrons.

Explanation:

Initially, if the sphere is electrically neutral, its charge stands at 0C.

When an electron with a charge of (-1.6*10^-19 C) is taken away, we effectively add a positive charge, leading to:

1.6*10^-19 C as the sphere's new charge.

For a total of N electrons removed, the sphere's overall charge now becomes:

N*1.6*10^-19 C.

To calculate N when:

N*1.6*10^-19 C = 8.0x 10^8 C.

We find that N is: (8.0/1.6)x10^(8 + 19) = 5x10^27 electrons.

A wildlife researcher is tracking a flock of geese. The geese fly 4.0 km due west, then turn toward the north by 40° and fly ano
serg [3582]

Answer:

(a). The distance traveled is 7.06 km towards the west.

(b). Their displacement magnitude is 7.51 km.

Explanation:

The information given states that,

The geese initially move 4.0 km directly west, then alter course to the north at a 40° angle, covering an additional 4.0 km.

Based on the diagram,

(a). To determine the distance

We will apply the distance formula

AD=AB+BD

Insert the values into the equation

D= 4+4.0\cos40^{\circ}

D=7.06\ km

The resultant distance is 7.06 km westward.

(b). We will find the total displacement's magnitude

Using the displacement formula

AC=\sqrt{(CD)^2+(AD)^2}

Insert the values into the equation

AC=\sqrt{(4.0\sin40)^2+(7.06)^2}

AC=7.51

The total displacement magnitude is 7.51 km.

In conclusion, (a). The traveled distance is 7.06 km towards the west.

(b). The magnitude of their total displacement is 7.51 km.

A 5.8 × 104-watt elevator motor can lift a total weight of 2.1 × 104 newtons with a maximum constant speed of
Keith_Richards [3271]
Power is defined as the speed at which work is performed on an object. Like all rates, power is measured in relation to time. It reflects how quickly a task is completed. Two identical tasks can be executed at varying speeds - one slower and the other faster. The equation P = Fv can be used, where P symbolizes power, F denotes force, and V represents average velocity. Calculating the average velocity gives us V = P/F, or V = (5.8 x 10^4 W) / (2.1 x 10^4 N), resulting in V = 2.8 m/s.

A rocket takes off vertically from the launch pad with no initial velocity but a constant upward acceleration of 2.25 m/s^2. At
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

A) 328 m

B) 80.22 m/s

C) 8.18 sec

Explanation:

A)

The rocket's initial acceleration is 2.25 m/s²

Time until engine failure is 15.4 s

Initial velocity u during takeoff = 0 m/s

Distance covered while the engine is functional =?

We apply Newton's laws for this calculation

S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Here, S represents the distance traveled under the rocket's thrust

S = (0 x 15.4) + \frac{1}{2}(2.25 x 15.4^{2})

S = 0 + 266.81 m = 266.81 m

Before the engine fails, the final velocity can be found using:

v = u + at

v = 0 + (2.25 x 15.4) = 34.65 m/s

Once the engine fails, the rocket decelerates under gravitational pull at g = -9.81 m/s²  (acting downwards)

The upward initial velocity when freefall begins is v = 34.65 m/s

The final velocity is reached at peak height, where the rocket halts, therefore:

u = 0 m/s

The distance covered during this freefall will be s =?

Utilizing the equation

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2gs

0^{2} = 34.65^{2} + 2(-9.81 x s)

0 = 1200.6 - 19.62s

-1200.6 = -19.62s

s = -1200.6/-19.62 = 61.19 m

Thus,

Maximum Height = 266.81 m  + 61.19 m =  328 m

B)

At maximum height, the rocket’s initial upward velocity drops to 0 m/s (the rocket completely stops)

The descent occurs freely under g = 9.81 m/s² (acting downwards)

The distance covered during the fall will be 328 m

Final velocity v just prior to impact =?

Applying v^{2} = u^{2} + 2gs

v^{2} = 0^{2} + 2(9.81 x 328)

v^{2} = 0 + 6435.36

v = \sqrt{6435.36} = 80.22 m/s

The time taken before reaching the pad is found as follows

v = u + gt

80.22 = 0 + 9.81t

t = 80.22/9.81 = 8.18 sec

Let Cp represent the specific heat of the metal object. To find this, we can set up a heat balance equation (heat lost by metal = heat gained by water):

- 19g * Cp * (22degC – 96degC) = 75g * 4.184J/g degC * (22degC - 18degC)
