You are driving on the highway, and you come to a steep downhill section. As you roll down the hill, you take your foot off the

gas pedal. You can ignore friction, but you can't ignore air resistance.
Identify all the forces acting on the car.

Answer:

Explanation: Here you know that:

The car is in downhill (so the gravitational force accelerates the car downhill)

we can ignore the friction (so there is no force of friction)

We can not ignore the air resistance (so whe have force of air resistance that is oposite to the direction in which the car moves)

You take the foot of the gas pedal (so there is no intrinsic acceleration of the car)

then the only two forces are the component of the gravitational force in the downhill direction, and the force of the air resistance that is in opposite direction than the gravitational force.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin
Mashutka [201]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is 14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}, where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.

Explanation:

We will calculate the work done as follows.

     W = \int_{0}^{0.54} F dx

         = \int_{0}^{0.54} (14,000 + 10,000x - 26,000x^{2}) dx

         = [14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}

         = 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69

         = 7653.31 J

or,      = 7.65 kJ       (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.

A particular material has an index of refraction of 1.25. What percent of the speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of light i
beks73 [17]

Answer:

80% (Eighty percent)

Explanation:

The material has a refractive index (n) of 1.25

Speed of light in a vacuum (c) is 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s

We can find the speed of light in the material (v) using the relationship

n = c/v, similarly

v = c/n

therefore v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s ÷ (1.25) = 239 833 966 m/s

v = 239 833 966 m/s

Therefore the percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum that is the speed of light in the material can be calculated as

(v/c) × 100 = (1/n) × 100 = (1/1.25) × 100 = 0.8 × 100 = 80%

Therefore speed of light in the material (v) is eighty percent of the speed of light in the vacuum (c)

A girl pushes an 18.15 kg wagon with a force of 3.63 N. what is the acceleration?
Anton [14]

Divide the force given by mass and you will find the acceleration of the object :-

F = m × a

3.63 = 18.15 × a

3.63 = 18.15a

a = 3.63/18.15

a = 0.2 m/s^2

hope it helps!

A wire of 1mm diameter and 1m long fixed at one end is stretched by 0.01mm when a lend of 10 kg is attached to its free end.calc
Otrada [13]

Answer:

E = 1.25×10¹³ N/m²

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as:

E = stress / strain

E = (F / A) / (dL / L)

E = (F L) / (A dL)

Given:

F = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 98 N

L = 1 m

dL = 10⁻⁵ m

A = π/4 (0.001 m)² = 7.85×10⁻⁷ m²

Solve:

E = (98 N × 1 m) / (7.85×10⁻⁷ m² × 10⁻⁵ m)

E = 1.25×10¹³ N/m²

Round as needed.
