Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:

 x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a          (EQUATION 1)

vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a             (EQUATION 2)

Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2

A spy in a speed boat is being chased down a river by government officials in a faster craft. Just as the officials’ boat pulls
babunello [35]

Answer:

They are 7.4m apart.

Explanation:

Here we have a parabolic motion problem. we need the time taken to land so:

Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2

considerating only the movement on Y axis:

0=4.6-(9.81)*t^2\\t=0.68s

Because we have a contant velocity motion on X axis:

xs=vs*t\\xs=17m/s*(0.68s)\\xs=11.6m

and

xg=vg*t\\xg=28m/s*(0.68s)\\xg=19m

the distance between them is given by:

d=|xg-xs|\\d=7.4m

The gage pressure in a liquid at a depth of 3 m is read to be 39 kPa. Determine the gage pressure in the same liquid at a depth
ioda

Answer: 117 kPa

Explanation:

For the liquid at depth 3 m, the gauge pressure is equal to = P₁=39 kPa

For the liquid at depth 9m, the gauge pressure is equal to= P₂

Now we are given the condition that the liquid is same. That must imply that the density must be same throughout the depth.

So, For finding gauge pressure we have formula P= ρ * g * h

Also gravity also remains same for both liquids

So taking ratio of their respective pressures we have

\frac{P_{1} }{\\P_2}= \frac{density * g * h_1}{density * g * h_2}

So \frac{39}{P_2}= \frac{3}{9}

Or P₂= 39 * 3 = 117 kPa

Which of these is an experiment generally regarded as being first carried out by James Joule?
Sholpan [36]
1. The correct answer among the choices provided is the third option. Measuring the temperature increase of water from doing work by stirring it is an experiment generally regarded as being first carried out by James Joule.
2.  Joule's experiment directly shows that heat is a form of energy. He wanted to make a different way of measuring energy.

The equation for the speed of an electromagnetic wave is
igomit [66]

Answer:

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

Explanation:

The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).
