Note that
1 km/h = (1000 m)/(3600 s) = 0.27778 m/s

Initial velocity, v₁ = 25 km/h = 6.9444 m/s
Final velocity, v₂ = 65 km/h = 18.0556 m/s

Time interval, dt = 6 s.

Calculate average acceleration.
a = (v₂ - v₁)/dt
   = (18.0556 - 6.9444 m/s)/(6 s)
   = 1.852 m/s²

Answer:
The average acceleration is 1.85 m/s² (nearest hundredth)

An air-track cart with mass m1=0.28kg and initial speed v0=0.75m/s collides with and sticks to a second cart that is at rest ini
arsen [322]
Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,

   KE = 0.5mv²

At initial conditions,

  m₁:  KE = 0.5(0.28 kg)(0.75 m/s)² = 0.07875 J

  m₂ : KE = 0.5(0.45 kg)(0 m/s)² = 0 J

Due to the momentum balance,

   m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)(V)

Substituting the known values,

   (0.29 kg)(0.75 m/s) + (0.43 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(V)

   V = 0.2977 m/s

The kinetic energy is,
   KE = (0.5)(0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(0.2977 m/s)²
   KE = 0.03146 J

The difference between the kinetic energies is 0.0473 J.

A construction worker accidentally drops a brick from a high scaffold. a. What is the brick's velocity after 4.0 s? b. How far d
AlekseyPX

Answer:

A. 39.2 m/s

B. 78.4 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

A. Determination of the brick's velocity.

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity (v) =?

v = gt

v = 4 × 9.8

v = 39.2 m/s

Thus, the brick's velocity after 4 s is 39.2 m/s

B. Determination of how far the brick fall in 4 s.

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 4²

h = 4.9 × 16

h = 78.4 m

Thus, the brick fall 78.4 m during the time.

A machine produces photo detectors in pairs. Tests show that the first photo detector is acceptable with probability 3/5. When t
klasskru [66]

Answer:

a.a. \ \frac{7}{25}

b.\ \ \ P(D_1D_2)=\frac{6}{25}

Explanation:

a. Find the probability that exactly one photo detector of a pair is acceptable:

Let A_i=i^{th} photo is accepted and the probability D_i=i^{th} is defected.

Therefore:

P(A_i)=3/5,\ P(A_2|A_1)=4/5,\ \ P(A_2|D_1)=2/5\\\\\\=P(A_1D_2)+P(D_1A_2)\\\\=\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{2}{5}\\\\=\frac{7}{25}

#The probability of exactly one photo detector of a pair is accepted is 7/25

b.Find the probability that both photo detectors in a pair are defective,P(D1D2):

P(D_1D_2)=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{3}{5}\\\\=\frac{6}{25}

Hence, from out tree diagram,the probability that both photo detectors in a pair are defective is 6/25

g A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobb
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

total weight acting downwards

= 3g + 10g

13 g

volume of lead = 10 / 11.3 = .885 cm³

Let the volume of bobber submerged in water be v in floating position . buoyant force on bobber  = v x 1 x g

Buoyant force on lead =  .885 x 1 x g

total buoyant force = vg + .885 g

For floating

vg + .885 g  = 13 g

v = 12.115 cm³

total volume of bobber

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 2³

= 33.5 cm³

fraction of volume submerged

= 12.115  / 33.5

= .36  

= 36 %
