A sperm whale can accelerate at about 0.0800 m/s 2 0.0800 m/s 2 when swimming on the surface of the ocean. How far will a sperm

whale travel if it starts at a speed of 0.700 m/s 0.700 m/s and accelerates to a speed of 2.18 m/s 2.18 m/s ? Assume the whale travels in a straight line.

Answer:

26.64 m

Explanation:

Given the following :

Acceleration at ocean surface = 0.0800 m/s²

Distance covered if initial speed = 0.700 m/s and accelerates to a speed of 2.18m/s

Using the equation :

v² = u² + 2as

Where ;

v = final velocity ; u = initial velocity ; a = acceleration ; s = distance covered

Therefore,

v² = u² + 2as

2.18² = 0.7² + (2 × 0.08 × s)

4.7524 = 0.49 + 0.16s

4.7524 - 0.49 = 0.16s

4.2624 = 0.16s

s = 4.2624 / 0.16

s = 26.64 m

Answer:

e see that the distances are different, the only way that the two beams of light approach simultaneously is that event 2 (farthest) occurs first than event 1

Explanation:

This is an ejercise in special relativity, where the speed of light is constant.

Let's carefully analyze the approach, we see the two events at the same time.

The closest event time is

       c = (x₁-300) / t

       t = (x₁-300) / c

The time for the other event is

       t = (x₂- 600) / c

since they tell us that we see the events simultaneously, we can equalize

        (x₁ -300) / c = (x₂ -600) / c

         x₁ = x₂ - 300

We see that the distances are different, the only way that the two beams of light approach simultaneously is that event 2 (farthest) occurs first than event 1

12. your friend with great excitement tells you about his newest idea to solve the energy crisis: he wants to use an electromoto
mixas84 [53]
I would tell him, in the kindest, most gentle way I could manage,
to fahgeddaboudit. 

The total amount of energy doesn't change.  Energy is never created,
and it never disappears.  If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere. 

You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
 and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.

Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show.  They are all
fakes.  They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 4 m/s to 13 m/s in a period of 3 s. What is your acceleration?
iogann1982 [59]

The acceleration formula goes like this: a= (vf-vi)/t so it would be (13-4)/3 Thus the answer is 3m/s^2

alukav5142 [94]
As this happens over twelve seconds, you would take the total difference in velocities and divide it by twelve to find the change per second

44.0 m/s - 2.0 m/s = 42.0 m/s 

42.0 m/s / 12 s = 3.5 m/s2

the acceleration of the rock would be 3.5 m/s2
