Answer:

Acceleration of car = 3.75 ft/s²

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 71 ft/s

Final velocity, v = 79 ft/s

Displacement, s = 160 ft

Acceleration, a = ?

Substituting

              v² = u² + 2as

              79² = 71² + 2 x a x 160

               a = 3.75 ft/s²

Acceleration of car = 3.75 ft/s²

Compare and contrast the strength of the forces between two objects with a mass of 1 kg each, a charge of 10
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Let's see the similarities between the two forces

* are proportional to the product of a magnitude, mass or charge

* They are inversely proportional to the square of the distance

* They are long-range forces since zero is not made up to an infinite distance. The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

The differences in them

* The electric force in much greater than the gravitational force

* The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating each force.

Gravitational force

             F =G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}  

let's calculate

             F = 6.67 10⁻¹¹  1  1 / 1²

             F = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N

Electric force

             F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}  

indicates that the charge is q = 10 C

            F = 9 10⁹ 10 10 / 1²

            F = 9 10¹¹ N

Let's see the similarities between the two forces

* are proportional to the product of a magnitude, mass or charge

* They are inversely proportional to the square of the distance

* They are long-range forces since zero is not made up to an infinite distance. The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

The differences in them

* The electric force in much greater than the gravitational force

* The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

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
