Answer:
12.0 meters
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a₁ = 0.281 m/s²
t₁ = 5.44 s
a₂ = 1.43 m/s²
t₂ = 2.42 s
Find: x
First, find the velocity reached at the end of the first acceleration.
v = at + v₀
v = (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s) + 0 m/s
v = 1.53 m/s
Next, find the position reached at the end of the first acceleration.
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
x = 0 m + (0 m/s) (5.44 s) + ½ (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s)²
x = 4.16 m
Finally, find the position reached at the end of the second acceleration.
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
x = 4.16 m + (1.53 m/s) (2.42 s) + ½ (1.43 m/s²) (2.42 s)²
x = 12.0 m
Answer:
2.5 m/s
Explanation:
The speed of the animal is given by the ratio between the distance travelled by the animal and the time elapsed:
where d is the distance travelled and t the time elapsed. Note that this quantity is also equal to the slope of the curve.
In the time interval 0-20 s, we have
d = 50 m - 0 m = 50 m
t = 20 s - 0 s = 20 s
So, the speed is
Answer:
0.02
Explanation:
coefficient of kinetic friction = μ
force of friction = Ff
Normal Force = FN, but
FN = -W
Ff = -μFN
so μ = Ff/FN
= 4N/200N
= 0.02.
Answer:
Regular reflection
Explanation:
- Reflection is the phenomenon that occurs when a light wave hits the interface between two different mediums and it bounces off back into the same medium. The angle of reflection (measured between the reflected ray and the perpendicular to the interface) is equal to the angle of incidence (measured between the incident ray and the perpendicular to the interface).
There are two different types of reflection:
- Regular reflection: this occurs when the interface between the two mediums is smooth (such as in the case of the still lake), so all the parallel light waves (which have same angle of incidence) are reflected exactly with the same angle of reflection (so, they come out all with same direction)
- Diffuse reflection: this occurs when the interface between the two mediums is not smooth, so each light ray is reflected with a different angle because it hits the interface with a different angle of incidence.
Therefore, in the case of the still lake, the correct answer is regular reflection.
