A car travelling at 5.0 m/s starts to speed up. After 3.0 s its velocity has increased to 11 m/s. a) What is its acceleration? (

Assume it to be uniform.) b) What distance does it travel while speeding up?​

initially, the car is traveling at 5.0 m/s.

so, we know acceleration for changing velocity is :

a = (v-v_{o})/t ..........(i)

where v is the final velocity

v_{o} is the initial velocity

t is the time taken to change velocity

Now, as per the question :

initial velocity, v_{o}=5.0 m/s

final velocity, v =11 m/s

time taken, t = 3 s

putting the values in equation (i),

a = ( 11-5 )/3

a = 2 m/s²

Therefore, a, after 3 s, is  <em>2 m/s².</em>

Which is the BEST definition of refraction? A) Light or sound waves change direction. B) Light or sound waves bounce off a mediu
melisa1 [442]
The answer to this is A. this is because, refraction with a light or sound wave changing its direction involve propagation,(in which propagation is the change in direction of a light or sound wave)

Light travels from medium X into medium Y. Medium Y has a higher index of refraction. Consider each statement below:(i) The ligh
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

 the statement of FALSE

Which best describes the surface of a concave mirror? It is flat. It is textured. It curves outward. It curves inward.
Sonja [21]

The concave mirror is a spherical-shaped mirror that has an inner curved surface. Hence, option (4) is correct.

What is a concave mirror?

The concave mirrors are spherical-shaped mirrors that are painted on the outward surface. It is also known as the converging mirror, having the recessed inner reflecting surface.

  • The concave mirrors are generally used for the purpose to focus the light. For that, they might have a reflecting surface, curved inwards, and the reflection of light is limited to the single focal point.
  • The reflecting surface of the concave mirror has its vertex or midpoint lying farther away from the objects than the edges.

Thus, we can conclude that the surface of the concave mirror is curved inward. Hence, option (4) is correct.

A hoop and a disk with uniform mass distribution have the same radius but the total masses are not known. Can they both roll dow
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

radius of hoop and the radius of disk is same = R

Let the mass of hoop is M and the mass of disk is M'.

As they reach the bottom of teh surface in same time so they travel equal distance thus, they have same acceleration.

The acceleration is given by

a=\frac{gSin\theta }{1+\frac{I}{MR^{2}}}

As the acceleration is same so that the moment of inertia is also same.

Moment of inertia of disk = moment of inertia of hoop

1/2 x mass of disk x R² =  mass of hoop x R²

So, mass of disk = 2 x mass of hoop

Option (c) is correct.
