Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

It's actually a deceleration. You should get a negative answer because the ball is slowing down.

Givens

vi = 8.09 m/s

vf = 5.87 m/s

t = 9.17

Formula

a = (vf - vi) /t Substitute the givens into the formula

Solution

a = (5.87 - 8.09)/9.17

Answer

a = - 2.22 m/s^2

When a wave enters a new medium from an angle, both the speed and the ________ change

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

B: Amplitude

Explanation:

When a wave travels from one medium to the other from an angle, the things that change are amplitude, wavelength, intensity and velocity.

The frequency doesn't change because the frequency depends upon the source of the wave and not the medium by which the wave is propagated.

A 5kg block is pulled across a table by a horizontal force of 40 N with a frictional force of 8 N opposing the motion. Draw a fo

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Net force on the block is 32 N.

Acceleration of the object is 6.4 m/s².

Explanation:

Let the acceleration of the object be $a$ m/s².

Given:

Mass of the block is, $m=5\ kg$

Force of pull is, $F=40\ N$

Frictional force on the block is, $f=8\ N$

The free body diagram of the object is shown below.

From the figure, the net force in the forward direction is given as:

$F_{net}=F-f=40-8=32\ N$

Now, from Newton's second law of motion, net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,

$F_{net}=ma\\32=5a\\a=\frac{32}{5}=6.4\ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the object in the forward direction is 6.4 m/s².

A Red Rider bb gun uses the energy in a compressed spring to provide the kinetic energy for propelling a small pellet of mass 0.

Kay [80]

Answer:

a.6.5025 J

b.6.5025 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of pellet,m=0.27 g= $0.27\times 10^{-3} kg$

1 kg=1000 g

Spring constant,k=1800 N/m

x=8.5 cm= $8.5\times 10^{-2} m$

1m=100 cm

a.Potential energy stored in the compressed spring is given by

P.E= $\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$P.E=\frac{1}{2}(1800)(8.5\times 10^{-2})^2$

$P.E=6.5025 J$

b.By using law of conservation of energy

P.E of spring=K.E of the pellet

K.E of the pellet=6.5025 J
