A car is stationary. It accelerates at 0.8 ms^2
for 10 s and then at 0.4 ms^2
for a further 10 s. Use
the equations of motion to deduce the car’s final displacement. You will have to split the journey
into two parts, since the acceleration changes after 10 s.
Answer:
the car’s final displacement is 60 m
Explanation:
Given;
initail velocity of the car, u = 0
acceleration of the car, a = 0.8 m/s²
time of motion, t = 10 s
The first displacement of the car:
[tex]x_1 = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\x_1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (0.8)(10)^2\\\\x_1 = 40 \ m[/tex]
The second displacement of the car;
acceleration, a = 0.4 m/s², time of motion, t = 10 s
[tex]x_2 = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\x_2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (0.4)(10)^2\\\\x_2 = 20 \ m[/tex]
The final displacement of the car;
x = x₁ + x₂
x = 40 m + 20 m
x = 60 m
Therefore, the car’s final displacement is 60 m
your initial speed is zero. if you increased your speed by 4 m/s after only 2 seconds and continue to accelerate at the same rate, what will your speed be after 10 seconds?
Answer:
20 m/ s
Explanation:
change in velocity = 4m/ s
[tex]acceleration = \frac{rate \: of \: change \: of \: velocity}{time} [/tex]
[tex]acc = \frac{4}{2} \\ = 2[/tex]
initial velocity = 0m/ s
let velocity after 10s be v[tex]2 = \frac{v - 0}{10} [/tex]
cross multiplying
[tex]20 = v[/tex]
so the velocity after 10s will be 20m/s

The idea that the universe began from a single point and expanded to its current size explains a large number of observations, including those in the table below.
Observations Explained
The universe consists mostly of low-mass elements.
Cosmic microwave background is nearly the same in all directions.
Light from other galaxies shows that these galaxies are moving away from Earth.
In addition, many predictions based on the idea have led to additional observations that support it. Which best describes this idea of the origin of the universe?
Answer:
theory
Explanation:
took the quiz
(12 points) Analysis from the point where the block is released to the point where it reaches the maximum height i) Calculate the highest height reached by the block (or the largest distance travelled along the ramp.) ii) Calculate the work done by the gravitational force. iii) Calculate the work done by the normal force. iv) Calculate the work done by the friction force.
Answer:
i) a₁ = -g (sin θ + μ cos θ), x = v₀² / 2a₁
ii) W = mg L sin θ , iii) Wₙ = 0
iv) W = - μ m g L cos θ x
Explanation:
With a drawing this exercise would be clearer, I understand that you have a block on a ramp and it is subjected to some force that makes it rise, for example the tension created by a descending block.
The movement is that when the system is released, the tension forces are greater than the friction and the component of the weight and therefore the block rises up the ramp
At some point the tension must become zero, when the hanging block reaches the ground, as the block has a velocity it rises with a negative acceleration to a point and stops where the friction force and the weight component would be in equilibrium along the way. along the plane
i) Let's use Newton's second law
the reference system is with the x axis parallel to the ramp
Axis y
N - W cos θ = 0
X axis
T - W sin θ - fr = ma
the friction force is
fr = μ N
fr = μ mg cos θ
we substitute
T - m g sin sin θ - μ mg cos θ = m a
a = T / m - g (sin θ + μ cos θ)
With this acceleration we can find the height that the block reaches, this implies that at some point the tension becomes zero, possibly when a hanging block reaches the floor.
T = 0
a₁ = -g (sin θ + μ cos θ)
v² = v₀² - 2a1 x
v = 0 at the highest point
x = v₀² / 2a₁
ii) the work of the gravitational force is
W = F .d
W = mg sin θ L
iii) the work of the normal force
the force has 90º with respect to the displacement so cos 90 = 0
Wₙ = 0
iv) friction force work
friction force always opposes displacement
W = - fr d
W = - μ m g cos θ L

Answer:
1000.
Explanation:
Thousand more steps could be taken when the number of cells was increased from 3 to 5 because in the data, the number of cells i.e. 5 was achieved on 1000 steps. According to the data, the number of cells i.e. 1 was achieved on 800 steps, the number of cells i.e. 5 was achieved on 1000 steps, the number of cells i.e. 2 was achieved on 600 steps, the number of cells i.e. 3 was achieved on 400 steps and the number of cells i.e. 4 was achieved on 200 steps. So we can say that 1000 steps are needed for the number of cells increased from 3 to 5.
What will happen to the gravitational force when the distance between the centre of the two bodies is halved ?
Explanation:
when the distance between the 2 objects is halved, the gravitational force between the 2 objects is doubled. when the distance between the 2 objects is doubled then the gravitational force doubles.

A student runs at 4.5 m/s [27° S of W] for 3.0 minutes and then he turns and runs at 3.5 m/s [35° S of E] for 4.1 minutes.
a. What was his average speed?
b. What was his displacement?
PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK
Answer:
(a) 3.93 m/s
(b) 861.66 m
Explanation:
A = 4.5 m/s [27° S of W] for 3.0 minutes
B = 3.5 m/s [35° S of E] for 4.1 minutes
Distance A = 4.5 x 3 x 60 = 810 m
Distance B = 3.5 x 4.1 x 60 = 861 m
(a) The average speed is defined as the ratio of the total distance to the total time.
Total distance, d = 810 + 861 = 1671 m
total time, t = 3 + 4.1 = 7.1 minutes = 7.1 x 60 = 426 seconds
The average speed is
[tex]v=\frac{1671}{426}=3.93 m/s[/tex]
(b)
[tex]\overrightarrow{A} = 810(- cos 27 \widehat{i} - sin 27 \widehat{j})=- 721.7 \widehat{i} - 367.7 \widehat{j}\\\\\overrightarrow{B} = 861( cos 35 \widehat{i} - sin 35 \widehat{j})= 705.3 \widehat{i} - 493.8 \widehat{j}\\\\\overrightarrow{C} = (- 721.7 + 705.3) \widehat{i} - (367.7 + 493.8) \widehat{j} \\\\\overrightarrow{C}= - 16.4 \widehat{i} - 861.5 \widehat{j}[/tex]
The magnitude is
[tex]C =\sqrt{16.4^2+861.5^2} = 861.66 m[/tex]
In the hydraulic system depicted, the cylinder on the left has a diameter of 2 inches and the cylinder on the right has a diameter of 6 inches. If 100 lbs of force was applied to the cylinder on the left, what force would be exerted on the cylinder on the right
Answer:
F2 = 900 lbs
Explanation:
From pascal principle;
F1/A1 = F2/A2
Force on cylinder at left; F1 = 100 lbs
Diameter of cylinder at left; d1 = 2 inches
Diameter of cylinder at right; d2 = 6 inches
Formula for area of top of cylinder = πr²
Thus;
Area of top of left cylinder; A = π × 2² = 4π
Area of top of right cylinder; A = π × 6² = 36π
Thus;
100/4π = F2/36π
F2 = (36π × 100)/4π
F2 = 900 lbs
Two uses of static electricity and dangers of static electricity
Answer: The uses of static electricity include:
--> photocopying machines
--> precipitators
The dangers of static electricity include:
--> sparks that can lead to explosion
--> Damage to electronic equipment
Explanation:
STATIC electricity is defined as the imbalance that exists between a positive and a negative charge either within or outside an object. This is because all physical objects are made up of atoms which contains protons, electrons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged, the electrons are negatively charged, and the neutrons are neutral. This shows that physical objects are made up of charges.
Opposite charges attract each other (negative to positive). Like charges repel each other (positive to positive or negative to negative). Most of the time positive and negative charges are BALANCED in an object, which makes that object neutral.
Applications( uses) of static electricity include:
--> photocopying machines: Inkjet photocopiers and printers use static electricity to guide a minute jet of ink to the page’s precise position.
--> precipitators: the static electricity is applied in an electrostatic precipitator whereby they remove smoke from waste gases before they pass out of the chimneys in power stations that burn fossil fuels.
The disadvantages (dangers) of static electricity include:
--> Sparks that can lead to explosion: sparks generated from static electricity can cause fires or explosions due to the ignition of flammable or explosive mixtures.
--> Damage to electronic equipment: this is due to components from electrostatic discharge.

Why Newton's law of gravitation also called universal law?
Answer:
Explanation:
Newton's law of gravitation states that every particle of matter attracts any other particle in the universe with a force directly proportional to the product of there masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
This law is also called universal law because it is applicable to all masses at all distances irrespective of the medium.

In a science museum, a 130 kg brass pendulum bob swings at the end of a 14.4 m -long wire. The pendulum is started at exactly 8:00 a.m. every morning by pulling it 1.7 m to the side and releasing it. Because of its compact shape and smooth surface, the pendulum's damping constant is only 0.010kg/s. You may want to review (Pages 405 - 407) . Part A At exactly 12:00 noon, how many oscillations will the pendulum have completed
Answer:
The time in which the pendulum does a complete revolution is called the period of the pendulum.
Remember that the period of a pendulum is written as:
T = 2*pi*√(L/g)
where:
L = length of the pendulum
pi = 3.14
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Here we know that L = 14.4m
Then the period of the pendulum will be:
T = 2*3.14*√(14.4m/9.8m/s^2) = 7.61s
So one complete oscillation takes 7.61 seconds.
We know that the pendulum starts moving at 8:00 am
We want to know 12:00 noon, which is four hours after the pendulum starts moving.
So, we want to know how many complete oscillations happen in a timelapse of 4 hours.
Each oscillation takes 7.61 seconds.
The total number of oscillations will be the quotient between the total time (4 hours) and the period.
First we need to write both of these in the same units, we know that 1 hour = 3600 seconds
then:
4 hours = 4*(3600 seconds) = 14,400 s
The total number of oscillations in that time frame is:
N = 14,400s/7.61s = 1,892.25
Rounding to the next whole number, we have:
N = 1,892
The pendulum does 1,892 oscillations between 8:00 am and 12:00 noon.
what do you think will happen to the people in the airplane if their location is unknown?
Question:
What do you think will happen to the people in the airplane if their location is unknown?
My opinion:
I mean what are the circumstances? Is it just a rogue pilot that takes a random plane with all the passengers Hostage or is It bad whether an they lose connection to the airport? I Mean either way, If I was on a plane being held hostage, or the plane crashing, I Would be a in a panic type state of mind. I Would be worried about what will happen when the plane crashes, I would worry about my friends or family that is aboard the plane with me, I Would be scared for my life because I Don't know if i would make it out alive.
Also:
How would they know their location is unknown wouldn't the Pilot be the only one to know exactly where there with their navigating system, But then again there was this time I headed to Florida an They had mini tv's on the seats of each chair, where you could: Watch movies, listen to music, an Also see exactly where you are in the world. It was really amazing actually.

A boy im50kg at rest on a skateboard is pushed by another boy who exerts a force of 200 N on him. If the first boy's
final velocity is 8 m/s, what was the contact time?
seconds
Answer:
Time, t = 2 seconds
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass, m = 50 kg
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s (since it's starting from rest).
Final velocity, v = 8 m/s
Force, F = 200 N
To find the time, we would use the following formula;
[tex] F = \frac {m(v - u)}{t} [/tex]
Making time, t the subject of formula, we have;
[tex] t = \frac {m(v - u)}{F} [/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] t = \frac {50(8 - 0)}{200} [/tex]
[tex] t = \frac {50*(8)}{200} [/tex]
[tex] t = \frac {400}{200} [/tex]
Time, t = 2 seconds

A child is playing on a swing. As long as he does not swing too high the time it takes him to complete one full oscillation will be independent of
Answer:
We know that for a pendulum of length L, the period (time for a complete swing) is defined as:
T = 2*pi*√(L/g)
where:
pi = 3.14
L = length of the pendulum
g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2
Now, we can think on the swing as a pendulum, where the child is the mass of the pendulum.
Then the period is independent of:
The mass of the child
The initial angle
Where the restriction of not swing to high is because this model works for small angles, and when the swing is to high the problem becomes more complex.
