Answer:

The acceleration of the car is $a=1.25\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 0

Final speed of the car, v = 5 m/s

Time, t = 4 s

<em>We need to find the average acceleration over this period of time. It is given by the rate of change of velocity. It is given by :</em>

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{(5-0)\ m/s}{4\ s}$

$a=1.25\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $a=1.25\ m/s^2$ . Hence, the correct option is (D).

The average acceleration is

$\bar a=\dfrac{5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{4\,\mathrm s}=1.25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

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

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

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

An 80 kg skateboarder moving at 3 m/s pushes off with her back foot to move faster. If her velocity increases to 5 m/s, what is

Arturiano [62]

1) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m is the object's mass and v its speed.

By using this equation, we find the initial kinetic energy of the skateboarder:
$K_i= \frac{1}{2}(80 kg)(3 m/s)^2=360 J$
and the final kinetic energy as well:
$K_f= \frac{1}{2}(80 kg)(5 m/s)^2=1000 J$

So, her change in kinetic energy is
$\Delta K=K_f-K_i=1000 J-360 J=640 J$

2) The work-energy theorem states that the work done to increase the speed of an object is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the object:
$W=\Delta K$
Therefore, the work done by the skateboarder is
$W=\Delta K=640 J$

An electric drill transfers 200 J of energy into a useful kinetic energy store. It also transfers 44 J of energy by sound and 48

kramer

Answer:

Er = 108 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must understand that the total energy is 200 [J]. Of this energy 44 [J] are lost in sound and 48 [J] are lost in heat. In such a way that these energy values must be subtracted from the total of the kinetic energy.

200 - 44 - 48 = Er

Where:

Er = remaining energy [J]

Er = 108 [J]
