A car traveling at 10 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 20 seconds. What is the acceleration?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

a= 0.5 m/s^(2)

Explanation:

Your initial velocity (V_(o)) is 10 m/s, your time is 20 seconds. Although it is not explicitly mentioned in the problem, since you know the car comes to a stop, your final velocity (V_(f)) is 0 m/s.

The equation you can use to solve for acceleration (a) is V_(f) = V_(o) +at

1. Plug in the numbers you do have, so your equation will look like this:

0=10+a(20)

2. Solve for a.

-10= 20a

-10/20=a

-0.5= a

a = -0.5 m/s^(2)

Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahigh-energy (in the range of 1012W) pulses of light that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.0μm in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.0 ns with an average power of 2.0×1012W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse. (a) How much energy is given to the cell during this pulse? (b) What is the intensity (in W/m2) delivered to the cell? (c) What are the maximum values of the electric and magnetic fields in the pulse?

Answers

Answer:

a. 80 J/cell b. 1.02 × 10²¹ W/m² c. 8.77 × 10¹¹ V/m d. 2.92 × 10³ T

Explanation:

a. We know that energy E = Pt where P = power and t = time

The total energy delivered to all the 100 cells is E = average power × time

average power = 2 × 10¹² W and time = 4 ns = 4 × 10⁻⁹ s

E = 2 × 10¹² W × 4 × 10⁻⁹ s = 8 × 10³ J

The energy per cell E₁ = E/100 = 8 × 10³ J/100 = 80 J/cell

b. Intensity, I = P/A where P = power per cell = 2 × 10¹² W/100 = 2 × 10¹⁰ W and A = area = πr². Since the cell is modeled as a disk of diameter d = 5.0μm, r = d/2 = 5.0 μm/2 = 2.5 μm = 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ m

I = P/A = P/πr² = 2 × 10¹⁰ W/π(2.5 × 10⁻⁶ m)² = 1.02 × 10²¹ W/m²

c. The intensity I = E²/2cμ₀ where E = maximum value of electric field, c = speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m

E = √(I2cμ₀) = √(2 × 1.02 × 10²¹ W/m² × 3 × 10⁸ m/s × 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m) = 8.77 × 10¹¹ V/m

The maximum magnetic field B is gotten from E/B = c

B = E/c = 8.77 × 10¹¹ V/m/3 × 10⁸ m/s  = 2.92 × 10³ T

Which satellite gave us our first photograph of Earth from space?

Answers

The correct answer is explorer 6

Final answer:

The first satellite to capture a photograph of Earth from space was Explorer 1, launched on January 31, 1958. This and subsequent space missions like the Apollo program expanded our visual understanding and perception of our planet.

Explanation:

The first satellite to give us a photograph of the Earth from space was Explorer 1, launched on January 31, 1958. Prior to Explorer 1, the Soviet Union had launched Sputnik 1 in October 1957, but Explorer 1 was the first satellite to provide us with images of Earth from space. This marked a significant moment in human history, altering our perception of the planet.

Later on, the Apollo program further improved our visual understanding of Earth, with the Apollo 17 mission capturing the 'Blue Marble' - one of the rare full disk images of the Earth in sunlight. Such images underscored our perception of Earth as a small, yet interconnected and strikingly beautiful, celestial body floating in the vastness of space.

How much work is done in the vertical direction if 125 N of force is needed to hold an object at shoulder height as a person walks 2 m forward

Answers

Work is the product of force multiplied by the distance moved, but since the distance moved in the vertical direction is zero

Work Done = 0 joules

Given data

Force = 125N

Horizontal Distance = 2 m

Vertical distance = 0 m

Formula for work

Work = Force * Distance

Solution

substitute the given information

Work Done in the horizontal direction= 125*2

Work Done = 250 Joules

Charles is having a lot of problems with errors in a very complicated spreadsheet that he inherited from a colleague, and he turns to another co-worker, Seymour, for tips on how to trace errors in the sheet. If Charles sees which of the following, Seymour explains, there is a mistyped function name in the sheet.a.#FORM?
b.#NAME?
c.#####
d.#FNCT?

Answers

Answer:

b.#NAME?

Explanation:

Remember, in Spreadsheet programs like Ms Excel several types of errors can occur such as value error.

However, since Seymour explains that there is a mistyped function name in the sheet it is more likely to display on the affected cell as #NAME?.

For example the function =SUM is wrongly spelled =SOM.

Therefore it is important to make sure the function name is spelled correctly.

In two to four paragraphs, explain what happened musically as Britten introduced the orchestral instruments:

Answers


-- Unless I miss my guess, the phrase "In two to four paragraphs,
explain ..." sounds like you want somebody to write a nice essay
for you, which you will then write your name at the top of and hand
it in as your own work.  Are you sure you want to adopt this process
as a substitute for actually learning stuff ?
 
-- Sadly, you can probably forget about offering 5 points and getting
two to four paragraphs in return.

-- Another hunch of mine:  You're referring to the "Young Person's
Guide to the Orchestra" ... a fugue and variations based on the
Rondeau from Henry Purcell's incidental music to Aphra Behm's
Abdelazar, composed by Benjamin Britten in 1946 for elementary
music education.  The subject may not be too familiar to the people
who like to hang out here in the <Physics> category.  You might
stand a better chance if you post the question again in <Arts> or
even <Social Studies>.  I don't know of a way to 'move' a question
on Brainly, so you'll have to actually post it again ... and this time,
see if you can spare a few more points for an answer.

Answer:

Britten used a variety of instruments from different families and changed the traditional order. He started with the woodwinds, then strings, then brass, and percussion. He started with the highest pitched instruments in each of the families. This made the differences in the timbers of different sections of the orchestra more clear.
