If an object accelerating at −1.5m/s^2 takes 1.2s to reach 5.0m/s, what was its initial speed?

-1.5 m/s^2 x 1.2 seconds = -1.8 m/s

It is a negative value which means the object slowed down. The object would have originally been going that amount more.


5.0 + 1.8 = 6.8 m/s


answer: 6.8 m/s

A wave travels at 295 m/s and has a wavelength of 2.50 m. What is the frequency of the wave?
posledela

Answer:

118\; \rm Hz.

Explanation:

The frequency f of a wave is equal to the number of wave cycles that go through a point on its path in unit time (where "unit time" is typically equal to one second.)

The wave in this question travels at a speed of v= 295\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}. In other words, the wave would have traveled 295\; \rm m in each second. Consider a point on the path of this wave. If a peak was initially at that point, in one second that peak would be

How many wave cycles can fit into that 295\; \rm m? The wavelength of this wave\lambda = 2.50\; \rm m gives the length of one wave cycle. Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{295\;\rm m}{2.50\; \rm m} = 118.

That is: there are 118 wave cycles in 295\; \rm m of this wave.

On the other hand, Because that 295\; \rm m of this wave goes through that point in each second, that 118 wave cycles will go through that point in the same amount of time. Hence, the frequency of this wave would be

Because one wave cycle per second is equivalent to one Hertz, the frequency of this wave can be written as:

f = 118\; \rm s^{-1} = 118\; \rm Hz.

The calculations above can be expressed with the formula:

\displaystyle f = \frac{v}{\lambda},

where

  • v represents the speed of this wave, and
  • \lambda represents the wavelength of this wave.

Two conducting spheres are each given a charge Q. The radius of the larger sphere is three times greater than that of the smalle
padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

If E₀ is the electric field outside the smaller sphere and r is the radius of larger sphere.

E₀ = kQ/r²

The radius of the larger sphere is 3r and the charge on both sphere is same then the electric field outside the larger sphere is given as

E = kQ/(3r)² = kQ/9r² = 1/9 (kQ/r²)= 1/9 x E₀

hence the correct option is e.

This equation is used to calculate the properties of a gas under nonideal conditions.
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Van der Waal's equation

Explanation:

The Van der Waal's equation is use to calculate the properties of a gas under nonideal or real gases conditions.

(P + \frac{an^2}{V^2})(V-nb) = nRT .

Here P, V ,T ,n and R have usual meaning as in the ideal gas equation

that is PV=nRT

with the difference of constant a and b.  a and b are constants representing magnitude of intermolecular attraction  and excluded volume respectively respectively.
