Answer:

a = -4/5 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

a = (20 m/s - 60 m/s) / 50 s

a = -40 m/s / 50 s

a = -4/5 m/s^2

hope this helps! <3

Answer:

Explanation:

It is going from 60 to 20 m/s so ACCELERATION is negative

acceleration = change in velocity / time

= -40 m/s / 50 s = <u>- 4/5 m/s^2 </u>

A ball is thrown with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. which quantity has a magnitude

enot [183]

The quantity that has a magnitude of zero when the ball is at the highest point in its trajectory is the vertical velocity.

In fact, the motion of the ball consists of two separate motions:
- the horizontal motion, on the x-axis, which is a uniform motion with constant velocity $v_x=v_0 cos 30^{\circ}$ , where $v_0=35 m/s$
- the vertical motion, on the y-axis, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=9.81 m/s^2$ directed downwards, and with initial velocity $v_y=v_= sin 30^{\circ}$ . Due to the presence of the acceleration g on the vertical direction (pointing in the opposite direction of the initial vertical velocity), the vertical velocity of the ball decreases as it goes higher, up to a point where it becomes zero and it reverses its direction: when the vertical velocity becomes zero, the ball has reached its maximum height.

The temperature of a sample of silver increased by 24.0 °C when 269 J of heat was applied. What is the mass of the sample?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Mass of the silver will be equal to 46.70 gram

Explanation:

We have given heat required to raise the temperature of silver by 24°C is 269 J , so $\Delta T=24^{\circ}C$

Specific heat of silver = 0.240 J/gram°C

We have to find the mass of silver

We know that heat required is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T$ , here m is mass, c is specific heat of silver and $\Delta T$ is rise in temperature

So $269=m\times 0.240\times 24$

m = 46.70 gram

So mass of the silver will be equal to 46.70 gram

a jet plane traveling 1890 km/h pulls out of a dive by moving in an arc of radius 5.20km. what is planes acceleration in g's

Andrew [12]

Answer:

$53 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Unit conversions:

1890 km/h = 1890 km/h * 1000m/km * 1/3600 h/s = 525 m/s

5.2 km = 5200 m

Assume that the jets is traveling in perfect circular motion, we can calculate the centripetal acceleration of the motion:

$a = \frac{v^2}{r}$

where v = 525m/s is the velocity of the jet and r = 5200 is the radius of the arc

$a = \frac{525^2}{5200} = 53m/s^2$

What is the kinetic energy of an object moving 40m/s with a mass of 20kg?

Svet_ta [14]

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (40 m/s)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = (10 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = 16,000 Joules

At a depth of 1030 m in Lake Baikal (a fresh water lake in Siberia), the pressure has increased by 100 atmospheres (to about 107

dangina [55]

Answer:

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

Explanation:

The bulk modulus is represented by the following differential equation:

$K = - V\cdot \frac{dP}{dV}$

Where:

$K$ - Bulk module, measured in pascals.

$V$ - Sample volume, measured in cubic meters.

$P$ - Local pressure, measured in pascals.

Now, let suppose that bulk remains constant, so that differential equation can be reduced into a first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation with separable variables:

$-\frac{K \,dV}{V} = dP$
