Compute the acceleration of the car

Reference no: EM13675976

A car, on a straight road, is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns to green the car accelerates with a constant acceleration. It reaches a speed of 20.2 m/s (72.7 km/h) in a distance of 142 m. Compute the acceleration of the car.

Temperature of the water when the lead becomes solid : A 175-g lump of molten lead at its melting point, 327°C, is dropped into 55 g of water at 20.0°C. What is the temperature of the water when the lead becomes solid? When the lead and water are in thermal equilibrium, what is the temperature?

Equilibrium and released from rest to slide on a horizontal : A 175-g object is attached to a spring that has a force constant of 76.5 N/m. The object is pulled 9.75 cm to the right of equilibrium and released from rest to slide on a horizontal, frictionless table. Compute the maximum speed of the object.

Consider a simple model of the hydrogen atom : Consider a simple model of the hydrogen atom where one electron is in a stable orbit around one proton at a distance of 0.05 nm. If the electron were moved to a larger stable orbit (say 0.1 nm), what would be the sign of: delta U = the change in pote..

What is tension in the string on both sides of the pulley : Two masses (mA = 4 kg, mB = 10 kg) are connected via a light string around a solid disk frictionless pulley (mp = 1 kg, rp = 20 cm). The coefficient of static and kinetic friction among all sur- faces is 0.2 and 0.1 respectively. The angle 1 = 30o wh..

What is the centripetal force acting on the car : A race car rounds a curve at 54 m/s. The radius of the curve is 406 m, and the car's mass is 685 kg. What is the centripetal force acting on the car? What is the car's (centripetal) acceleration?

A u-shaped tube open to the air on both ends : A U-shaped tube, open to the air on both ends, contains mercury. Water is poured into the left arm until the water column is 16.7cm deep. How far upward from its initial position does the mercury in the right arm rise? (In mm)

What is the amplitude of the oscillation : A passenger car traveling down a rough road bounces up and down at 1.1Hz with a maximum vertical acceleration of 0.17m/s2, both typical values. What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

What is the maximum speed of the glider : An air-track glider attached to a spring oscillates among the 14.0cm mark and the 59.0cm mark on the track. The glider completes 15.0 oscillations in 32.0s. What is the period of the oscillations? What is the amplitude of the oscillations? What is th..
