Suppose you increase your walking speed from 6 m/s to 14 m/s in a period of 1 s. What is your acceleration?

A = delta v over delta t delta v is calculated with final velocity less initial velocity so delta v is 14 - 6 that is 8m/s and delta t is calculated with final time less initial time as initial always is 0 then is 1 - 0 that is 1 then a = 8m/s over 1 that is 8 then the acceleration is 8m/s^2 (remember that is squared.)

Answer:
acceleration = 8 m/s²

Explanation:
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
This means that:
acceleration = $\frac{v2 - v1}{t2 - t1}$
We are given that:
V2 = 14 m/sec
V1 = 6 m/sec
We are also given that the duration is 1 sec, this means that:
t2 = 1 sec
t1 = 0 sec

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the acceleration as follows:
acceleration = $\frac{14-6}{1-0}$ = $\frac{8}{1}$ = 8 m/s²

Hope this helps :)

<u>Frequency is the number of waves that passes at a given point every second.</u> The lower the frequency, the less waves there are. The higher the frequency, the more waves. <u>A wavelength is the distance between two frequency waves. </u>The higher the frequency, the less distance from two waves. The lower the frequency, the longer distance from two waves.

Answer:

$v_{i}=10.10 m/s$

Explanation:

The equation of the position is:

$y=y_{i}+v_{i}t-0.5gt^{2}$

Where:

v(i) is the initial velocity

The initial position y(i) will be zero and the final position y = 3.60 m.

So, we just need to solve this equation for v(i).

$v_{i}=\frac{y+0.5gt^{2}}{t}$

$v_{i}=\frac{3.6+0.5*9.81*1.6^{2}}{1.6}$

$v_{i}=10.10 m/s$

Therefore, the initial velocity is 10.10 m/s upwards.

I hope it helps you!

To solve this problem, we must take two important steps. First we will convert all the given units, to international system. Later we will define the torque, which is given as the product between the radius of application of the force and the Force acting on the body. Mathematically the latter is,

$\tau = r F$
