Answer: 2.54 s
Explanation:
If we are talking about a constant acceleration, we can use the following equation:
[tex]V_{f}=V_{o}+2at[/tex]
Where:
[tex]V_{f}=28 m/s[/tex] is the final velocity of the car
[tex]V_{o}=0t[/tex] is the finitial velocity of the car (it started from rest)
[tex]a=5.5 m/s^{2}[/tex] is the constant acceleration of the car
[tex]t[/tex] is the time it takes to reach [tex]V_{f}[/tex] with the given constant velocity
Hence:
[tex]V_{f}=2at[/tex]
Clearing [tex]t[/tex]:
[tex]t=\frac{V_{f}}{2a}[/tex]
[tex]t=\frac{28 m/s}{2a(5.5 m/s^{2})}[/tex]
Finally:
[tex]t=2.54 s[/tex]
Final answer:
It takes approximately 5.09 seconds for the car to accelerate from rest to a velocity of 28 m/s with a constant acceleration of 5.5 m/s².
Explanation:
To determine the time it takes for a car to reach a certain velocity with a given acceleration from rest, we use the kinematic equation:
final velocity (v) = initial velocity (u) + acceleration (a) × time (t)
Given that the car starts from rest, the initial velocity u is 0 m/s. We are told the car accelerates at a constant rate of 5.5 m/s2 and we want to find the time when the car reaches a velocity of 28 m/s. Plugging in the values we have:
28 m/s = 0 m/s + (5.5 m/s2) × t
Solving for t, we get:
t = 28 m/s / 5.5 m/s2
t = 5.09 seconds (approximately).
So, it takes approximately 5.09 seconds for the car to accelerate from rest to 28 m/s at a constant acceleration of 5.5 m/s2.
3. A car drives horizontally off of a cliff that is 40 meters tall and lands 65 meters from the base of
the cliff. What was the initial velocity of the car?
Answer:
23 m/s
Explanation:
First, find the time it takes for the car to fall 40 meters.
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
0 = 40 + (0) t + ½ (-9.8) t²
0 = 40 − 4.9 t²
t = 2.89 s
Next, find the velocity needed to travel 65 meters in that time.
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
65 = 0 + v₀ (2.89) + ½ (0) (2.89)²
v₀ = 22.75 m/s
Rounding to two significant figures, the car's initial speed was 23 m/s.
A nonuniform, but spherically symmetric, distribution of charge has a charge density ρ(r) given as follows:
ρ(r)=ρ0(1−r/R) for r≤R
ρ(r)=0 for r≥R
where ρ0=3Q/πR3 is a positive constant.
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables r, R, Q, and appropriate constants.
Obtain an expression for the electric field in the region r≥R.
Obtain an expression for the electric field in the region r≤R.
Find the value of r at which the electric field is maximum.
Find the value of that maximum field.
Answer:
r ≥ R, E = Q / (4πR²ε₀)
r ≤ R, E = 12Q (⅓ (r/R)³ − ¼ (r/R)⁴) / (4πr²ε₀)
Maximum at r = ⅔ R
Maximum field of E = Q / (3πε₀R²)
Explanation:
Gauss's law states:
∮E·dA = Q/ε₀
What that means is, if you have electric field vectors E passing through areas dA, the sum of those E vector components perpendicular to the dA areas is equal to the total charge Q divided by the permittivity of space, ε₀.
a) r ≥ R
Here, we're looking at the charge contained by the entire sphere. The surface area of the sphere is 4πR², and the charge it contains is Q. Therefore:
E(4πR²) = Q/ε₀
E = Q / (4πR²ε₀)
b) r ≤ R
This time, we're looking at the charge contained by part of the sphere.
Imagine the sphere is actually an infinite number of shells, like Russian nesting dolls. For any shell of radius r, the charge it contains is:
dq = ρ dV
dq = ρ (4πr²) dr
The total charge contained by the shells from 0 to r is:
q = ∫ dq
q = ∫₀ʳ ρ (4πr²) dr
q = ∫₀ʳ ρ₀ (1 − r/R) (4πr²) dr
q = 4πρ₀ ∫₀ʳ (1 − r/R) (r²) dr
q = 4πρ₀ ∫₀ʳ (r² − r³/R) dr
q = 4πρ₀ (⅓ r³ − ¼ r⁴/R) |₀ʳ
q = 4πρ₀ (⅓ r³ − ¼ r⁴/R)
Since ρ₀ = 3Q/(πR³):
q = 4π (3Q/(πR³)) (⅓ r³ − ¼ r⁴/R)
q = 12Q (⅓ (r/R)³ − ¼ (r/R)⁴)
Therefore:
E(4πr²) = 12Q (⅓ (r/R)³ − ¼ (r/R)⁴) / ε₀
E = 12Q (⅓ (r/R)³ − ¼ (r/R)⁴) / (4πr²ε₀)
When E is a maximum, dE/dr is 0.
First, simplify E:
E = 12Q (⅓ (r/R)³ − ¼ (r/R)⁴) / (4πr²ε₀)
E = Q (4 (r³/R³) − 3 (r⁴/R⁴)) / (4πr²ε₀)
E = Q (4 (r/R³) − 3 (r²/R⁴)) / (4πε₀)
Take derivative and set to 0:
dE/dr = Q (4/R³ − 6r/R⁴) / (4πε₀)
0 = Q (4/R³ − 6r/R⁴) / (4πε₀)
0 = 4/R³ − 6r/R⁴
0 = 4R − 6r
r = ⅔R
Evaluating E at r = ⅔R:
E = Q (4 (⅔R / R³) − 3 (⁴/₉R² / R⁴)) / (4πε₀)
E = Q (8 / (3R²) − 4 / (3R²)) / (4πε₀)
E = Q (4 / (3R²)) / (4πε₀)
E = Q (1 / (3R²)) / (πε₀)
E = Q / (3πε₀R²)
For question 1:
For the region [tex]r \geq R[/tex], an expression for the electric field can be calculated by using the Gauss law:
Use gauss law of electrostatics, the charge electric flux through the Gaussian surface is,
[tex]\int \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{A}=\frac{q_{enc}}{\varepsilon_{0} }\\\\E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{Q}{\varepsilon_0}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (Since\ \ q_{enc}=Q )[/tex]
Here, Q is the enclosed charge and [tex]\varepsilon_0[/tex] , is the permeability.
[tex]E=\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 } \frac{Q}{r^2}[/tex]
Therefore, the required electric field is [tex]\frac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 r^2 }[/tex]
For question 2:
For Gaussian sphere of radius [tex]r \leq R[/tex], the charge enclosed within a spherical shell is,
[tex]dq =\rho_0(1-\frac{r}{R}) 4\pi r^2 dr[/tex]
Hence, the total charge enclosed with in the radius r is as follows,
[tex]q_{enc}=\int^{r}_{0} \rho_{0} (1-\frac{r}{R}) 4\pi r^2 \ dr\\\\[/tex]
[tex]=4\pi \rho_0 |\frac{r^3}{3}-\frac{r^4}{4R}|^4_{0}\\\\=\frac{12 Q}{R^3}(\frac{r^3}{3}-\frac{r^3}{4R})\\\\=\frac{Qr^3}{R^3}(4-\frac{3r}{R})\\\\[/tex]
Use Gauss's law for the Gaussian sphere of radius r,
[tex]\int \vec{E}\cdot dA=\frac{q_{enc}}{\varepsilon_0}\\\\E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{Qr^3}{\varepsilon_0 R^3}(4-\frac{3r}{R})\\\\E=\frac{Qr}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^3}(4-\frac{3r}{R})\\\\[/tex]
Therefore, the required electric field at [tex]r\leq R[/tex] is [tex]\frac{Qr}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^3}(4-\frac{3r}{R})\\\\[/tex]
For question 3:
The change in electric filed with respect to distance is zero when the electric field has a maximum value.
[tex]\frac{dE}{dr}= 0\\\\\frac{d(\frac{Qr}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^3}(4-\frac{3r}{R}))}{dr}=0\\\\(\frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^3})\frac{d(4r-\frac{3r^2}{R})}{dr}=0\\\\[/tex]
Here, [tex](\frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^3})[/tex] is not equal to zero. Hence,
[tex]\frac{d(4r-\frac{3r^2}{R})}{dr}=0\\\\4-\frac{6r}{R}=0\\\\r=\frac{4R}{6}=\frac{2R}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, the required value of [tex]r \ \ is\ \ \frac{2R}{3}\\\\[/tex]
For question 4:
Maximum value of the electric filed is as follows
[tex]E= \frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^3} (4-\frac{3r}{R})\\\\[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{Q(\frac{2R}{3})}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^3} (4- \frac{3(\frac{2R}{3})}{R})\\\\=\frac{Q}{3 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}[/tex]
Therefore, the required maximum value of the electric field is [tex]\frac{Q}{3 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}[/tex]

At summer camp, the swimming course runs the length (L) of a small lake. To determine the length of the course, the camp counselors measure the two "dry" legs of a right triangle. What is the length in meters of the swimming course in the figure below? A right triangle overlaps a lake. It has sides 25 and 40 meters. Hypotenuse labeled L goes through the lake.
Answer:
The length of the swimming course is 47.16 meters.
Explanation:
It is given that the right triangle overlaps the lake and hypotenuse L runs through the length of the lake. Thus length of the lake will be the length of this hypotenuse.
The instructors have conducted measurements of the right triangle and has found the legs to be 25 and 40 meters. The sum of squares of base and height of a right triangle gives the value of its hypotenuse according to Pythagoras theorem.
Thus [tex]h^2+b^2=H^2[/tex]
b - base
h - height.
[tex]40^2+25^2=1600+625=2225[/tex]
[tex]H=\sqrt{2225}=47.16 m[/tex]

acceleration due to gravity [tex]g=9.81 m/s^2[/tex]
a. Expression for force of gravity is [tex]F_g=m\times g[/tex]
b. [tex]F_g=mg=6 \times 9.81=58.86 N[/tex]
force of gravity is [tex]58.86 N[/tex]
c. Force of gravity always acts in the downward direction.
d. Normal force[tex]F_N[/tex] acts in the direction opposite to the weight of the block and their magnitudes are same. since the object is at rest the upward and downward forces on the block are balanced.
[tex]F_N=-F_g=-58.86 N[/tex]
e. Normal force [tex]F_N[/tex]acts in the upwards.
The force of gravity on a 6 kg block is 58.86 N, acting downwards, while the normal force is 58.86 N, acting upwards, since the block is stationary on a horizontal surface.
Explanation:Forces Acting on a Stationary Block
a. The expression for the magnitude of the force of gravity Fg on the block is given by Newton's second law of motion: Fg = m × g where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
b. To calculate Fg, simply multiply the mass m by the acceleration due to gravity g: Fg = 6 kg × 9.81 m/s² which equals 58.86 N.
c. In this problem, the direction of the force of gravity is vertically downwards, towards the center of the Earth.
d. The magnitude of the normal force FN on the block is equal to the force of gravity acting on the block when it is stationary on a horizontal surface, therefore FN = 58.86 N.
e. The normal force acts in a direction perpendicular to the surface, which in this case is vertically upwards.

Explanation:
A 50 newton force is required to push a 10 kg box 30 meters across the floor. The box is then lifted up 6 meters and placed on a shelf. How much total work was done?
Answer:
2088 J
Explanation:
Work = net force × distance
When the box is being pushed across the floor, the force is 50 N, and the distance is 30 m.
W = (50 N) (30 m)
W = 1500 J
When the box is being lifted, the force is the weight of the box (10 kg × 9.8 m/s²), and the distance is 6 m.
W = (98 N) (6 m)
W = 588 J
So the total work done is:
W = 1500 J + 588 J
W = 2088 J

Anna heated 15 g of Substance A to obtain 5 g of Substance B, 4 g of Substance C, and a certain amount of Substance D. Which statement is correct?
The mass of Substance D was 10 g less than the mass of Substance A.
The mass of Substance D was 1 g greater than the mass of Substance B.
The mass of Substance A was equal to the total mass of Substance C and Substance D.
The mass of Substance A was equal to the total mass of Substance B and Substance D.
Answer:
The mass of Substance D was 1 g greater than the mass of Substance B.
Explanation:
15 g of A → 5 g of B + 4 g of C + x g of D
From the law of conservation of mass, Mass of D should be x = (15 - 5 - 4 ) g = 6 g
This is 1 g more than the mass of B and 2 g more than mass of C.
Thus, correct option is The mass of Substance D was 1 g greater than the mass of Substance B.
19) Suppose that a car traveling to the east (+x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic
light. Which statement concerning its acceleration must be correct?
A) Its acceleration is in the -x direction.
B) Its acceleration is zero.
Its acceleration is decreasing in magnitude as the car slows down.
D) Its acceleration is in the +x direction.
Answer: C) Its acceleration is decreasing in magnitude as the car slows down.
Explanation:
According to the described situation the car's final velocity is less than its initial velocity, this means the car's velocity decreased as it slows down.
On the other hand, acceleration [tex]a[/tex] is defined as the variation of velocity in time:
[tex]a=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}[/tex]
If the car's velocity decreases, its acceleration is negative. Hence, the acceleration is decreasing in magnitude as well.
In the context of a car slowing down while traveling east, its acceleration must be in the -x direction (towards the west) which means its acceleration is in the opposite direction of its motion, hence option A is correct.
The question concerns the acceleration of a car traveling east (considered the +x direction) as it begins to slow down when approaching a traffic light. According to the principles of physics, when an object is slowing down, its acceleration is in the opposite direction of its motion. Since the car is moving to the east and slowing down, its acceleration must be towards the west, which is the -x direction in our coordinate system. Therefore, its acceleration is in the -x direction, making the correct answer to the question Option A.
To further clarify, when a car traveling in a positive direction (to the east in this case) decelerates or slows down, it undergoes negative acceleration because the deceleration is opposite to the direction of its velocity. Hence, in the context of our coordinate system where the east is positive, the westward acceleration (slowing down) is considered negative.

A sailor pulls a 2,000 kilogram boat 25 meters along the dock with a rope attached to the boat that makes a 45 degree angle with the dock. How much work is done by the sailor if he exerts a force of 400 newtons while pulling the boat?
Answer: 7071.067 Joules
Explanation:
The Work [tex]W[/tex] done by a Force [tex]F[/tex] refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path [tex]d[/tex].
It should be noted that it is a scalar, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter:
[tex]1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm[/tex]
Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:
[tex]W=(F)(d)[/tex] (1)
When they are not parallel, both directions form an angle, let's call it [tex]\alpha[/tex]. In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:
[tex]W=Fdcos{\alpha}[/tex] (2)
In this case the force and the distance in the path form an angle [tex]\alpha=45\°[/tex], so we will use the second equation, where [tex]F=400N[/tex] and [tex]d=25 m[/tex]:
[tex]W=(400 N)(25 m) cos(45\°)[/tex] (3)
Then:
[tex]W=7071.067 Nm=7071.067 J[/tex]
The work done by the sailor to pull the boat 25 meters with a force of 400 newtons at a 45-degree angle to the dock is approximately 7,071 Joules.
The amount of work done by the sailor on the boat can be calculated by using the formula for work done by a force at an angle, which is W = F imes d imes ext{cos}( heta). In this case, the force (F) is 400 newtons, the distance (d) is 25 meters, and the angle ( heta) is 45 degrees.
First, we calculate the cosine of the angle, which in this case is ext{cos}(45^{ ext{o}}) = rac{ ext{ extsqrt{2}}}{2}.
Then, we multiply the force, distance, and cosine of the angle: W = 400 N imes 25 m imes rac{ ext{ extsqrt{2}}}{2}.
Therefore, the work done by the sailor is 400 imes 25 imes rac{ ext{ extsqrt{2}}}{2}, which equals 7,071 Joules approximately.
On a 100m straight track, Zak runs to the 80m mark in 15s. He then runs back to the 20m in 10s. He then runs to the 100m mark in 20s. Finally he runs to the 70m mark in 5s. The total distance travelled by Zak is ____ m and total displacement is ____ m.
Answer:
The total distance traveled by Zak is 250 m and total displacement is
70 m
Explanation:
Distance is a scalar quantity that represents how much ground an
object has covered during its motion
Displacement is a vector quantity that represents how far out of place
an object is, means the change in its position
Displacement = final position - initial position
The straight track is 100 m
Zak runs to the 80 m mark
That means he runs forward from zero to 80
Then his distance = 80 m
His displacement = + 80 m
He then runs back to the 20 m
That means that he runs back from 80 m to 20 m
Then his distance = 80 - 20 = 60 m
His displacement = 20 - 80 = -60 m
He then runs to the 100 m mark
That means he runs forward from 20 m to 100 m
Then his distance = 100 - 20 = 80 m
His displacement = 100 - 20 = + 80 m
Finally he runs to the 70 m mark
That means he runs back from 100 m to 70 m
Then his distance = 100 - 70 = 30 m
His displacement = 70 - 100 = - 30 m
His total distance is the sum of all distances he runs
The total distance = 80 + 60 + 80 + 30 = 250 m
His total displacements is the sum of all displacements he runs
The total displacement = (+80) + (-60) + (+80) + (-30) = + 70 m
The total distance traveled by Zak is 250 m and total displacement is
70 m
A bulldozer does 4,500 J of work to push a mound of soil to the top of a ramp that is 15 m high. The ramp is at an
angle of 35° to the ground. How much force did the bulldozer apply to the mound of soil? Round your answer to two
significant figures.
Its 520 N
Answer:
520 N
Explanation:
Work is the dot product of the force vector and displacement vector.
W = F · x
This means it is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them.
W = F x cos θ
The displacement of the soil is 15 m up. The force is parallel to the ramp. So the angle between the vectors is 90° − 35° = 55°.
Plugging in the values and solving for F:
4500 J = F (15 m) (cos 55°)
F = 523 N
Rounded to two significant figures, the force is 520 N.
