"The White Shark" allows riders to start from rest on a tube and then slide down a 44 meter slide. It takes the rider 6.2 second

s to reach the bottom. What is the average acceleration of the ride?
A. 2.3 m/s^2 B. 3.4 m/s^2 C. 4.2 m/s^2 D. 5.0 m/s^2

I did (44 - 0)/6.2 but that's not any of the answers??

<span>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. Calculations of such is straightforward, if we are given the final velocity, the initial velocity and the total time interval. However, we are not given these values. We are only left by using the kinematic equation expressed as:

d = v0t + at^2/2

We cancel the term with v0 since it is initially at rest,

d = at^2/2
44 = a(6.2)^2/2
a = 2.3 m/s^2

Determine the magnitude of the effective value of g⃗ at a latitude of 60 ∘ on the earth. assume the earth is a rotating sphere.
dezoksy [38]
In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr) 
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>

An airplane dropped a flare from a height of 2860 feet above a lake. How many seconds did it take for the flare to reach the wat
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: 13.2 seconds.

Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0

S= distance travelled

a = acceleration due gravity

t= time.

1 foot = 0.305m so,

S= 2860 feet =872.3m

S= ut+1/2 at²

872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²

872.3 =0 + 5t²

T²= 872.3/5

T²= 174.46

Take the square root of T we then have;

t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.

A. How does the speed of light in a vacuum change when observed from two different frames of reference?
anyanavicka [17]

a) It is absolute, so it does not change.

b) Inertial ones.

c) Inside the train the time will slow down relatively to the outside clock. So if one travel at nearly the speed if light for 2 hours on his clock, for outdoor observers it will look like 3 hours.
