Suppose you run into a wall at 4.5 meters per second (about 10 mph). Let's say the wall brings you to a complete stop in 0.5 sec

ond. Find your deceleration and estimate the force (in newtons) that the wall exerted on you during the stopping?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity,u=4.5 m/s

Time=t =0.5 s

Final velocity=v=0m/s

We have to find the deceleration and estimate the force exerted by wall on you.

We know that

Acceleration= $\frac{v-u}{t}$

Using the formula

Acceleration= $a=\frac{0-4.5}{0.5}$

deceleration=a= $-9m/s^2$

We know that

Force =ma

Using the formula and suppose mass of my body=m=40 kg

The force exerted by wall on you

Force= $40\times (9)=360N$

Lizette works in her school’s vegetable garden. Every Tuesday, she pulls weeds for 15 minutes. Weeding seems like a never-ending

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Constant or Controlled variables: Same concentration of vinegar solution, same quantity of vinegar, same type of weed etc

Explanation:

In an experiment, certain variables are kept unchanged or constant for both the experimental group and control group in order not to influence the outcome of the experiment. These variables are called CONTROLLED VARIABLES or CONSTANTS.

In the case of this experiment where Lizette is testing the effect of vinegar on weed, the variable that should be kept the same (controlled variables) for the control group of weeds and the sprayed weeds include Same concentration of vinegar solution, Same quantity of vinegar, same type of weed.

A lead fishing weight of mass 0.2 kg is tied to a fishing line that is 0.5 m long. the weight is then whirled in a vertical circ

Mariana [72]

In the movement of the weight in vertical circle, using momentum balance, the largest tension is at the bottom of the circle. This is represented by:

<span>F = T - m g </span>
<span>T = F + m g
</span>F (centripetal) = mv^2/r
<span>= m v^2 / r + m g </span>

<span>m v^2 / r = T - m g </span>
<span>T= 0.5m * 100kgm/s^2 / 0.2kg - 9.81m/s^2 * 0.5m </span>
<span>T= 245 m^2/s^2 </span>

A heat engine (Power Cycle) with a thermal efficiency of 35 percent efficiency produces 750 kJ of work. Heat transfer to the eng

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) The schematic illustrating is attached

b) The heat transfer to the heat engine is 2142.86 kJ, the heat transfer from the heat engine is 1392.86 kJ

c) The heat transfer to the heat engine is 1648.35 kJ, the heat transfer from the heat engine is 898.35 kJ

Explanation:

b) The heat transfer to the engine and the heat transfer from the engine to the air is:

$Q_{1} =\frac{W}{n}$

Where

W = 750 kJ

n = 35% = 0.25

Replacing:

$Q_{1} =\frac{750}{0.35} =2142.86kJ$

$Q_{2} =Q_{1} -W=2142.86-750=1392.86kJ$

c) The efficiency of Carnot engine is:

$n=1-\frac{300K}{550K} =0.455$

The heat transfer to the heat engine is:

$Q_{1c} =\frac{750}{0.455} =1648.35kJ$

The heat transfer from the heat engine is:

$Q_{2c} =1648.35-750=898.35kJ$

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. You are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that

oksano4ka [1.4K]

As we know that reaction time will be

$t = 0.50 s$

so the distance moved by car in reaction time

$d = vt$

$d = 20 \times 0.50$

$d = 10 m$

now the distance remain after that from intersection point is given by

$d = 110 - 10 = 100 m$

So our distance from the intersection will be 100 m when we apply brakes

now this distance should be covered till the car will stop

so here we will have

$v_f = 0$

$v_i = 20 m/s$

now from kinematics equation we will have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 20^2 = 2(a)100$

$a = \frac{-400}{200} = -2 m/s^2$

so the acceleration required by brakes is -2 m/s/s

Now total time taken to stop the car after applying brakes will be given as

$v_f - v_i = at$

$0 - 20 = -2 (t)$

$t = 10 s$

total time to stop the car is given as

$T = 10 s + 0.5 s = 10.5 s$

On Ramesh’s13th birthday, his father invited all his friends and their relatives. It was a big party with lots of food and DJs.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

The first fact to understand which carries the most weight is we share this small world. We all have such similar characteristics that if you listed them all in one column and then list traits that make each person an absolute individual, one of the lists would be liken to an encyclopedia where as the other more akin to a doodle on a napkin in comparison. Now to the question.

Explanation:

We all know inherently the rules, so to say. yes its acceptable to do as people do normally. to go outside those bounds on purpose to be a nuisance intentionally is not. like 3am loud pounding music or downright disrespect is not acceptable. because when its done that way, since we all know the unspoken rules, its is being done on purpose to annoy.
