It takes a car 2 minute(s) to go from rest to 25 m/s east. What is the acceleration

5 0

Explanation:

we first convert 2 minutes to seconds,which will give us 120s (2×60).

v=u +at where (v=final velocity,u is the initial velocity,a is the acceleration of the car and t the time taken)

V=25 m/s

u=0 m/s since the car started from rest 

t=120s

substituting the values we get 

25=0+a (120)

25=120a (diving both sides by 120 we get)

a=0.208m/s^2

Krista is playing tennis at the park. When the tennis ball flies toward her, Krista hits the ball with her racket, which causes

xenn [34]

Answer:

B. When the racket hits the tennis ball with a force, the tennis ball applies an equal but opposite force to the racket.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's third law of motion every action has equal and opposite reaction. So, when the force is applied by the racket on the ball then the ball also applies an equal intensity of force in the opposite direction on the racket. It is just that the the force on the racket is absorbed by the player holding it.

A nucleus with a mass number of 64 has a mean radius of about: _________.

dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass number is $A= 64$

Generally the mean radius is mathematically evaluated as

$R = R_o A^{\frac{1}{3} }$

Here $R_o$ is a constant with a value $R_o =1.2*10^{-15}$

$R = 1.2*10^{-15} * 64^{\frac{1}{3} }$

$R = 4.8 *10^{-15}$

$R = 4.8\ fm$

The kinetic energy of a sliding block came from the:

patriot [66]

Answer:

Correct sentence: gravitational potential energy of the mass on the hook.

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of a body or a physical system is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy. It is a scalar magnitude related to the movement of bodies and to forces of mechanical origin, such as gravitational force and elastic force, whose main exponent is Hooke's Law. Both are conservative forces. The mechanical energy associated with the movement of a body is kinetic energy, which depends on its mass and speed. On the other hand, the mechanical energy of potential origin or potential energy, has its origin in the conservative forces, comes from the work done by them and depends on their mass and position. The principle of conservation of energy relates both energies and expresses that the sum of both energies, the potential energy and the kinetic energy of a body or a physical system, remains constant. This sum is known as the mechanical energy of the body or physical system.

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the block comes from the transformation in this of the gravitational potential energy of the suspended mass as it loses height with respect to the earth, keeping the mechanical energy of the system constant.

Determine the focal length of a plano-concave lens (refractive index n =1.5) with 24 cm radius of curvature on its curve surface

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Option 3: -48 cm

Explanation:

We are given:

refractive index; n = 1.5

radius of curvature; r2 = 24 cm

Formula for the focal length is given as;

1/f = (n - 1) × [(1/r1) - (1/r2)]

As r1 tends to infinity, 1/r1 = 0

Thus,we now have;

1/f = (n - 1) × (-1/r2)

Plugging in the relevant values;

1/f = (1.5 - 1) × (-1/24)

1/f = -0.02083333333

f = -1/0.02083333333

f = -48 cm
