Answer:

0.25m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration= Change in velocity / time

= 2 - 0 / 8

= 2 /8

= 0.25

A police officer uses a radar gun to determine the speed of a car. A specialized radar gun uses ultraviolet light to determine s
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Radio Waves

Explanation:

Radio wave is a type of electromagnetic radiation notorious for their use in technologies used for communication like air traffic control, mobile phones, televisions and remote-controlled toys. Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum and are easily transmitted through air.

A radar gun uses radio waves to tell how far away an object is. To do that, the radar tool emits a focused radio wave and listens for any echo. If there is an item, say a car within the route of the radio wave, it's going to replicate some of the electromagnetic energy, and the radio wave will return to the radar gun. Radio waves flow via the air at a steady pace, so the radar gun can calculate how far the object is based totally on how long it takes the radio signal to return.

How would you find the speed of a person who walked
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

v = 1.25 m/s

Explanation:

We have,

Distance covered by a person is 10 meters

Time taken by him to cover that distance is 8 seconds.

If we want to find the speed of a person, we must know distance covered by it and taken. In this case, we know both distance and time. His speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{10\ m}{8\ s}\\\\v=1.25\ m/s

So, the speed of the person is 1.25 m/s.

PLEASE PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION<br><br> THANK YOU!
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

(a) 0.993 s

(b) 14.0 N/m

(c) -3.02 m/s

(d) -6.01 m/s²

Explanation:

(a) The block's position can be modeled as a cosine wave:

x(t) = A cos(ωt)

where A is the amplitude (in this case, 50 cm) and ω is the angular frequency.

At t = 0.200 s, x(t) = 15.0 cm.

15.0 cm = 50.0 cm cos((0.200 s) ω)

0.3 = cos((0.2 s) ω)

1.266 rad = (0.2 s) ω

ω = 6.33 rad/s

The period is:

T = (2π rad) (1 s / 6.33 rad)

T = 0.993

(b) For a spring-mass system, ω = √(k/m).  The mass of the block is 0.350 kg, so:

ω = √(k/m)

6.33 rad/s = √(k / 0.350 kg)

6.33 rad/s = √(k / 0.350 kg)

40.1 rad/s² = k / 0.350 kg

k = 14.0 N/m

(c) Energy is conserved:

EE₀ = EE + KE

½ kx₀² = ½ kx² + ½ mv²

kx₀² = kx² + mv²

(14.0 N/m) (0.50 m)² = (14.0 N/m) (0.15 m)² + (0.35 kg) v²

v = -3.02 m/s

Alternatively, we can take the derivative of our position equation:

v(t) = -Aω sin(ωt)

v = -(0.50 m) (6.33 rad/s) sin((6.33 rad/s) (0.2 s))

v = -3.02 m/s

(d) Sum of forces on the block:

∑F = ma

-kx = ma

a = -kx / m

a = -(14.0 N/m) (0.15 m) / (0.350 kg)

a = -6.01 m/s²

Alternatively, we can take the derivative of our velocity equation:

a(t) = -Aω² cos(ωt)

a = -(0.50 m) (6.33 rad/s)² cos((6.33 rad/s) (0.2 s))

a = -6.01 m/s²

Three charges, Q1, Q2, and Q3 are located in a straight line. The position of Q2 is 0.301 m to the right of Q1. Q3 is located 0.
Alexxx [7]

Answer and Explanation: A charge exerts a force over another charge even if they are very far apart. This force is called <u>Electrostatic</u> <u>Force</u>.

If the two charges have the same sign, e.g. both aare positive, the force between them is opposite. If they have opposite sign, the force is towards each other. In other words, for electrostatic force, equal charges repel and different charges attract.

So,

1. If Q2 and Q3 have opposite signs, it is TRUE force in Q2 will go the left;

2. If the 2 are negative, they have the same sign, so it's FALSE force is to the right;

Sentences 3 and 4 are also TRUE due to the reasons described above;

5. If the charges have opposite signs, it means force is towards each other, or, to the right, so the sentence is TRUE;

1. Force is directly proportional to charges in Coulomb [C] and inversely proportional to distance squared in [m]:

F=\frac{k.q.Q}{r^{2}}

where k is a constant that equals 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

Calculating force between 1 and 2:

F_{12}=\frac{9.10^{9}(1.9.10^{-6})(2.84.10^{-6})}{(0.301)^{2}}

F_{12}=536.02.10^{-3} N

Force between 2 and 3:

F_{23}=\frac{9.10^{9}(2.84.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{(0.169)^{2}}

F_{23}=2711.63.10^{-3} N

Total force is the net force. Since Q2 is negative and the others are positive, force of 2 related to 1 is to left and related to 3 is to the right. Therefore, total force is the difference between those two forces:

F_{T}=2711.63.10^{-3}-536.02.10^{-3}

F_{T}=2175.61.10^{-3} N

The total force on Q2 is 2175.61 x 10⁻³ N

2. For net force to be 0, F_{13}=F_{23}. Suppose distance from 1 to 3 is x, then from 2 to 3 is x-0.301

Calculating:

\frac{k(1.90.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{x^{2}}=\frac{k(2.84.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{(x-0.301)^{2}}

\frac{5.757.10^{-12}}{x^{2}} =\frac{8.6052.10^{-12}}{x^{2}-0.602x+0.090601}

\frac{5.757.10^{-12}}{8.6052.10^{-12}}=\frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}-0.602x+0.090601}

x^{2}=0.67x^{2}-0.40x+0.061

0.33x^{2}+0.40x-0.061=0

roots = 0.14 or -1.35

Solving quadratic equation gives 2 roots, but one of the roots is negative. As distance is a measure that cannot be negative, the solution is x = 0.14.

The distance of Q3 relative to Q1 is 0.14 m
