Answer:

(a) 80.36 m/s^2

(b)  0.0933 second

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 7.5 m/s

final velocity, v = 0 m/s

distance moved, s = 0.350 m

(a) Let a be the deceleration.

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\times a\times s

0^{2}=7.5^{2}+2\times a\times 0.350

a = 80.36 m/s^2

Thus, the deceleration is 80.36 m/s^2.

(b) Let the time taken is t

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

0 = 7.5 + 80.36 x t

t = 0.0933 second

A rocket is launched upward with a constant acceleration of 165 m/s^2. After 8.00 seconds of ascension a passenger on the rocket
Novay_Z [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the linear kinematic movement. We will start by finding the speed of the body from time and the acceleration given.

Through the position equations we will calculate the distance traveled.

Finally, using this same position relationship and considering the previously found speed, we can determine the time to reach your goal.

For time (t) and acceleration (a) we have to,

t = 8s, a = 165m/s^2

The velocity would be,

u = a*t \\u = 165*8\\u = 1320m/s

Now the position is,

h= \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = \frac{1}{2} 165*8^2

h = 5280m

Now with the initial speed and position found we will have the time is,

h=ut +\frac{1}{2} at^2

-5280=1320t - \frac{1}{2} 9.8t^2

4.9t^2-1320t-5280=0

Solving the polynomian we have,

t = 273.33s = 4.56minutes

Therefore  the rocket will take to hit the ground around to 4.56min

How do you get a tachyionic particle and how are they faster than light
melomori [17]
<span>Tachyons are studied in an area called particle physics, and I must say this is a bit out of my league, but I'll give you some general thoughts. Tachyons are hypothetical particles resulting from what physicists call a thought experiment. Back in the 1960s, some physicists wondered what would happen if matter could travel faster than the speed of light, something that is supposed to be impossible according to the Theory of Relativity. So these particles may or may not exist because they have not been proven or disproven by real experiment as of yet. What people have done is apply existing formulas to the unique properties of tachyons (like imaginary mass!). What comes out is a particles that go faster when they lose energy with a MINIMUM velocity of the speed of light and a maximum velocity of infinity! Hope that helps Ben, theoretical physics is a weird place and is not too far off from philosophy.</span>

(50 POINTS) HELP!!!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
zepelin [54]
C) During chemical reaction, total mass remains the same.

This is because due to the law of conservation of mass, stating that in a chemical reaction, neither mass will be created nor destroyed. So, the total mass will not change when chemical reactions occur.

The wavelength and energy of a wave are inversely proportional. Based on this, which wave listed would have the LOWEST energy.
spayn [35]
D because it has the lowest wavelength, meaning the wave is the longest. Its crest are more spaced out creating lower energy.  The smaller distance between the crests equals the higher the sound. Creating higher energy.

I am 95% sure this is right. Very sorry if it isn't.
Hope it helps. ;3

Which is the BEST definition of refraction? A) Light or sound waves change direction. B) Light or sound waves bounce off a mediu
melisa1 [442]
The answer to this is A. this is because, refraction with a light or sound wave changing its direction involve propagation,(in which propagation is the change in direction of a light or sound wave)
