A student is leaving the lesson and walking to Maths at a speed of 1m/s. He notices that he is late for the lesson and speeds up to 3 m/s. It takes him 4 seconds to speed up. Calculate his acceleration.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 1m/s

Final velocity, v = 3m/s

Time, t = 4 seconds

To find acceleration;

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{v - u}{t}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Acceleration = (3 - 1)/4

Acceleration = 2/4

Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

a horizontal velocity of 2.6 m/s and lands in
the water 1.5 s later.
How far from the base of the platform
does she land? The acceleration of gravity
is 9.8 m/s?
Answer in units of m.

Answers

Answer:

11.025m

Explanation:

In this question there is no vertical velocity,

t= 1.5s

Height of platform=h

From Newton equation

s = ut + 1/2gt^2

But there is no vertical velocity,

Hence,

Then u=0

h = 0 + 1/2 x 9.8 x (1.5)^2

h = 11.025m

Find the work done by a man who is pulling a box of 45kg of mass by means of rope which makes angle of 45 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Since no distance is given, the force is not doing any work

No work is done by the man since we do not know the distance or displacement.

Work is only said to be done when the force applied on an object moves it through a particular distance.

 Work done  = Force x distance.

Since no distance is given in this problem, we can as well assume that the force applied is doing no work on the object.

But i can try to give a general explanation on the topic.

Interference happens when two waves interact between them. We usually use waves with the same wavelength and same phase.

There are two "main" types of interference:

Destructive interference: Happens when the peak of one wave and the trough of the other wave happen in the same place, then when we add these waves, we have a subtraction, and then the amplitude of the resultant wave is smaller than the amplitudes of the original waves (if both initial waves have the same amplitude, then the amplitude of the resultant wave in that position is zero).

Constructive interference: Similar to the previous case, but now the two waves have the peaks or toughs in the same position, then when we add the waves, we have an addition in the amplitude, then the amplitude of the resultant wave will be larger than the amplitudes of the initial waves.

Then if you are looking for constructive interference, you need to look for an option where the peaks of the waves coincide. For example, in the top image we can see, at the top, a wave with an amplitude of 2 units.

And at the bottom a wave with an amplitude of 1 unit.

We also can see that the peaks (and the tough) are in the same place, then we will have constructive interference. Then the amplitude of the resultant wave will be equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the initial waves (2 and 1)

Then the amplitude of the resultant wave is 2 units + 1 unit = 3 units.

A 2-kg ball traveling eastward at 5 m/s hits a 5-kg ball moving at 1 m/s eastward. The 2-kg ball bounces west at 3.0 m/s. What is the speed of the 5kg ball?

Answers

Answer:

1.8 m/s

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

m1= 2kg

u1= 5m/s

m2= 5kg

u2= 1m/s

v1= 3m/s

From

m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2

substitute

2*5+5*1 = 2*3+5*v2

10+5= 6+5v2

15-6= 5v2

9= 5v2

divide both side by 5

v2= 9/5

v2= 1.8 m/s

C = 418.4 J / (2 kg * 50 deg K) = 4.184 J / kg * deg K     specific heat

Note: 1 gm =.001 kg

So C = .004184J / gm * deg K

I am pretty sure the answer is c using process of elimination.

The thing same about a particle as gas, liquid, or solid is its chemical composition.

What are states of matter?

Matter exists in three different states: solid, liquid, and gas. By examining the configuration of their particles, it is possible to understand why they have various qualities. Theoretically, at this temperature, particles move slowly and have the least amount of energy.

Phase refers to the material's actual state. To pay attention to is the word physical. Only physical means can change the state of matter. You can make a physical change if energy is added (by raising the temperature) or subtracted (by freezing things).

A box weighs 1300 N. When a horizontal force of 390 N has applied the box accelerates at 1.3 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the frictional force?

Answers

Answer:

Ffriction = 217.7[N]

Explanation:

First, we must find the mass of the box, we must remember that the weight is defined as the product of the mass by acceleration.

[tex]w=m*g[/tex]

where:

w = weight [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

[tex]1300=m*9.81\\m=132.51[kg][/tex]

Now we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

∑F sum of forces

m = mass = 132.51[kg]

a = acceleration = 1.3[m/s²]

We must know that the forces that act are the horizontal force that moves the box and the friction force in the negative direction that acts against the movement.

Now replacing:

[tex]390-f_{friction}=132.51*1.3\\390-172.26=f_{friction}\\f_{friction}=217.7[N][/tex]
