The minimum potential difference must be supplied by the ignition circuit to start a car is -1800 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data,

E= 3 ×10 ⁶ Δx=0.06/100

We have to find the minimum potential difference

E= -ΔV/Δx

ΔV=- E × Δx

ΔV =-3 ×10 ⁶ . 0.06/100

ΔV=-1800 V

The minimum potential difference must be supplied by the ignition circuit to start a car is -1800 V

<span>The formulas are, v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1) h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2) Given that, v1 = 1.71 m/s we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor d2 =0.805d1 then, v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)² cancelled both side d1² then we get, v1 = v2 (0.805)² v1 = v2 (0.648025) Sub v1 = 1.71, 1.71 = v2 (0.648025) v2 = 1.71/0.648025 v2 = 2.638787083831642 v2 = 2.64 m/s The vertical distance formula, h = (v2²-v1²)/2g We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s² h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8) h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6 h = (4.0455)/19.6 h = 0.2064030612244898 h = 0.21 cm Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>

Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b
Ainat [17]

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 13.5 n accelerates at 6.5 m/s^2 to the right. what is the mass of the ball?
natita [175]

Answer:

2.08 kg

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied to the object, according to the equation:

F=ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this situation, the soccer ball is kicked with a force F=13.5 N and its acceleration is a=6.5 m/s^2, therefore its mass is

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{13.5 N}{6.5 m/s^2}=2.08 kg

A 15-kg block at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a very light ideal spring of force constant 450 N/m. T
den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.266 m

Explanation:

Assuming the lump of patty is 3 Kg then applying the principal of conservation of linear momentum,

P= mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is the speed of an object. In this case

m_pv_p=v_c(m_p+m_b) where sunscripts p and b represent putty and block respectively, c is common velocity.

Substituting the given values then

3*8=v(15+3)

V=24/18=1.33 m/s

The resultant kinetic energy is transferred to spring hence we apply the law of conservation of energy

0.5(m_p+m_b)v_c^{2}=0.5kx^{2} where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring. Substituting the given values then

(3+15)*1.33^{2}=450*x^{2}\\x\approx 0.266 m

A tennis player serves a tennis ball such that it is moving horizontally when it leaves the racquet. When the ball travels a hor
nalin [4]

Answer:

u_x=38.13\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that initially ball moves in the horizontal direction ,it means that the velocity in the vertical direction is zero.

Horizontal distance = 13 m

Vertical distance = 57 cm

Lets take time to cover 57 cm distance in vertical direction is t.

We know that g is the constant acceleration in the vertical direction so we can apply the equation of motion in the vertical direction.

S=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Here u_y=0

S= 57 cm

0.57=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2

t=0.34 s

Now in the horizontal direction

x=u_xt

Here x=13 m

t= 0.34 s

So

13=u_x\times 0.34

u_x=38.13\ m/s

So the initial speed of ball is 38.13 m/s.
