The acceleration of the truck, given it accelerated from 0 m/s to 22 m/s in 8.5 s is 2.59 m/s²

From the question given above, the following were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 22 m/s
Time (t) = 8.5 s
Acceleration (a) =?

<h3>How do I determine the acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration of the truck can be obtained as follow:

a = (v – u) / t

a = (22 – 0) / 8.5

a = 22 / 8.5

a = 2.59 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration of the truck is 2.59 m/s²

How many times higher could an astronaut jump on the Moon than on Earth if his takeoff speed is the same in both locations (grav

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

maximum height on moon is 6 times more than the maximum height on Earth

Explanation:

Let the Astronaut has its maximum speed by which he can jump is "v"

now for the maximum height that it can jump is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 aH$

now from above equation we will have

$0 - v^2 = 2(-g)H$

now we have

$H = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

now if Astronaut jump on the surface of moon with same speed

then we know that the acceleration of gravity on surface of moon is 1/6 times the gravity on earth

so at surface of moon we have

$0 - v^2 = 2(-g/6) H$

now we have

$H = \frac{6v^2}{2g}$

so maximum height on moon is 6 times more than the maximum height on Earth

Design a solution that can monitor and minimize the melting of sea ice caused by human activity

dedylja [7]

Answer:

CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning should be minimized at all cost. The CO2 are gotten when the carbons from hydrocarbons react with air(oxygen). This gas erodes the ozone layer which makes the melting of ice caps faster due to increased amount of heat radiations on the earth. This is the only best and permanent solution to the reduction of the amount of heat rays on the earth which is a global problem.

Objects which reflects back the sunrays could also be inserted into the sea to prevent the melting of the ice caps.

A heat engine does 200 j of work per cycle while exhausting 600 j of heat to the cold reservoir. what is the engine's thermal ef

AveGali [126]

The thermal efficiency of an engine is
$\eta= \frac{W}{Q}$
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work

In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
$\eta= \frac{W}{Q}= \frac{200 J}{600 J}=0.33 = 33 \%$

Write a statement about the relationship between

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:Just as wavelength and frequency are related to light, they are also related to energy. The shorter the wavelengths and higher the frequency corresponds with greater energy. So the longer the wavelengths and lower the frequency results in lower energy.

Explanation:So, if the wavelength of a light wave is shorter, that means that the frequency will be higher because one cycle can pass in a shorter amount of time. ... That means that longer wavelengths have a lower frequency. Conclusion: a longer wavelength means a lower frequency, and a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency!

Extra explanation: All waves can be defined in terms of their frequency and intensity. c = λν expresses the relationship between wavelength and frequency.
