A car accelerates at a constant rate from zero to 26.1 m/s in 10 seconds and then slows to 10.2 m/s in 5 seconds. What is its average acceleration to the nearest tenth of a m/s2 during the 15 seconds? What was the acceleration during the first 10 seconds?
A car accelerates from rest at S m/s for 5 seconds. It moves with a constant velocity for 15 seconds, and then decelerates at 5 m/s to come to rest in 5 seconds. The entire journey takes 25 seconds. Plot the velocity-time graph of the motion AND determine the total distance the car travelled. (10 pts.) 4.
Name: Date: Problems: 1. The dimensions of a reservoir are as follows: 2-m long, 3-m wide & 4-m high. a) What is the area of the reservoir? b) What is the volume of the reservoir? c) How many gallons of water the reservoir can hold? (Hint: 1 cubic decimeter = 1 liter & 1 gallon = 3.786 liters) 2. A cube has a certain volume. If the dimension of each side is tripled, by what factor will the volume increase?...
An automobile is traveling along a straight road heading to the southeast at 24 m/s when the driver sees a deer begin to cross the road ahead of her. She steps on the brake and brings the car to a complete stop in an elapsed time of 8.0 s. A data recording device, triggered by the sudden braking action, records the following velocities and times as the car slows. Let the positive x-axis be directed to the southeast. Plot a...
A runner moving with an initial velocity of 15.4 m/s slows down at a constant rate of -2.9 m/s2 over a period of 2 seconds. (a) What is her velocity at the end of this time? (b) What distance does she travel during this process?
After the centrifuge is switched off, the test tube slows to a stop. The angular velocity of the platelet (still at the same radius) is given by: with w, 155 rad/s, 1, 6.3 S, and t now the time since the centrifuge has been switched off. If the intitial time is the time when the centrifuge was switched off (t, 0), and the final time is t = 8.9 seconds, find the average angular acceleration: Opts Submit Answer Tries 0/99...
