Remember your kinematic equations for constant acceleration. One of the equations is x_{f} =  x_{i} +  v_{i}(t) + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}, where x_{f} = final position, x_{i} = initial position, v_{i} = initial velocity, t = time, and a = acceleration. 

Your initial position is where you initially were before you braked. That means x_{i} = 100m. You final position is where you ended up after t seconds passed, so x_{f} = 350m. The time it took you to go from 100m to 350m was t = 8.3s. You initial velocity at the initial position before you braked was v_{i} = 60.0 m/s. Knowing these values, plug them into the equation and solve for a, your acceleration:
350\:m = 100\:m + (60.0\:m/s)(8.3\:s) + \frac{1}{2} a(8.3\:s)^{2}\\
250\:m = (60.0\:m/s)(8.3\:s) + \frac{1}{2} a(8.3\:s)^{2}\\
250\:m = 498\:m +34.445\:s^{2}(a)\\
-248\:m = 34.445\:s^{2}(a)\\
a \approx -7.2 \: m/s^{2}

Your acceleration is approximately -7.2 \: m/s^{2}.

A skier is moving down a snowy hill with an acceleration of 0.40 m/s2. The angle of the slope is 5.0∘ to the horizontal. What is
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

1.25377 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\mu = Coefficient of friction

\theta = Slope

From Newton's second law

mgsin\theta-f=ma\\\Rightarrow mgsin\theta-\mu mgcos\theta=ma\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{gsin\theta-a}{gcos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{9.81\times sin5-0.4}{9.81\times cos5}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.04655

Applying \mu to the above equation and \theta=10^{\circ}

mgsin\theta-\mu mgcos\theta=ma\\\Rightarrow a=gsin\theta-\mu gcos\theta\\\Rightarrow a=9.81\times sin10-0.04655\times 9.81\times cos10\\\Rightarrow a=1.25377\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the same skier when she is moving down a hill is 1.25377 m/s²

What is the value of g on the surface of Saturn? Assume M-Saturn = 5.68×10^26 kg and R-Saturn = 5.82×10^7 m.Choose the appropria
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Approximately \rm 11.2 \; N \cdot kg^{-1} at that distance from the center of the planet.

Option A) The low value of g near the cloud top of Saturn is possible because of the low density of the planet.

Explanation:

The value of g on a planet measures the size of gravity on an object for each unit of its mass. The equation for gravity is:

\displaystyle \frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{R^2},

where

  • G \approx 6.67\times 10^{-11}\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-2} \cdot m^2.
  • M is the mass of the planet, and
  • m is the mass of the object.

To find an equation for g, divide the equation for gravity by the mass of the object:

\displaystyle g = \left.\frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{R^2} \right/\frac{1}{m} = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2}.

In this case,

  • M = 5.68\times 10^{26}\; \rm kg, and
  • R = 5.82 \times 10^7\; \rm m.

Calculate g based on these values:

\begin{aligned} g &= \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2}\cr &= \frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-2} \cdot m^2\times 5.68\times 10^{26}\; \rm kg}{\left(5.82\times 10^7\; \rm m\right)^2} \cr &\approx 11.2\; \rm N\cdot kg^{-1} \end{aligned}.

Saturn is a gas giant. Most of its volume was filled with gas. In comparison, the earth is a rocky planet. Most of its volume was filled with solid and molten rocks. As a result, the average density of the earth would be greater than the average density of Saturn.

Refer to the equation for g:

\displaystyle g = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2}.

The mass of the planet is in the numerator. If two planets are of the same size, g would be greater at the surface of the more massive planet.

On the other hand, if the mass of the planet is large while its density is small, its radius also needs to be very large. Since R is in the denominator of g, increasing the value of R while keeping M constant would reduce the value of g. That explains why the value of g near the "surface" (cloud tops) of Saturn is about the same as that on the surface of the earth (approximately 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}.

As a side note, 5.82\times 10^7\rm \; m likely refers to the distance from the center of Saturn to its cloud tops. Hence, it would be more appropriate to say that the value of g near the cloud tops of Saturn is approximately \rm 11.2 \; N \cdot kg^{-1}.

Suppose that we are designing a cardiac pacemaker circuit. The circuit is required to deliver pulses of 1ms duration to the hear
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Minimum capacitance = 200 μF

Explanation:

From image B attached, we can calculate the current flowing through the capacitors.

Thus;

Since V=IR; I = V/R = 5/500 = 0.01 A

Maximum charge in voltage is from 5V to 4.9V. Thus, each capacitor will have 2.5V. Hence, change in voltage(Δv) for each capacitor will be ; Δv = 0.05 V

So minimum capacitance will be determined from;

i(t) = C(dv/dt)

So, C = i(t)(Δt/Δv) = 0.01[0.001/0.05]

C = 0.01 x 0.0002 = 200 x 10^(-6) F = 200 μF
