Answer:

The acceleration of the car, a = -3.75 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,  

The initial velocity of the airplane, u = 75 m/s

The final velocity of the plane, v = 0 m/s

The time period of motion, t = 20 s

Using the I equations of motion

                    v = u + at

                     a = (v - u) / t

                        = (0 - 75) / 20

                        = -3.75 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that the plane is decelerating

Hence, the acceleration of the car, a = -3.75 m/s²

The wavelength of violet light is about 425 nm (1 nanometer = 1 × 10−9 m). what are the frequency and period of the light waves?
BigorU [14]

1. Frequency: 7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz

The frequency of a light wave is given by:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where

c=3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

In this problem, we have light with wavelength

\lambda=425 nm=425\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting into the equation, we find the frequency:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s}{425\cdot 10^{-9} m}=7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz


2. Period: 1.42 \cdot 10^{-15}s

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

The frequency of this light wave is 7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz (found in the previous exercise), so the period is:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz}=1.42\cdot 10^{-15} s

A bag of sugar weighs 3.50 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration isone-sixth
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

F_{Earth}= 15.57 N

F_{Moon}= 2.60 N

F_{Uranus}= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

Explanation:

The weight of the sugar bag on Earth is:

g=9.81 m/s²

m=3.50 lb=1.59 kg

F_{Earth}=m·g=1.59 kg×9.81 m/s²= 15.57 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Moon is:

g=9.81 m/s²÷6= 1.635 m/s²

F_{Moon}=m·g=1.59 kg× 1.635 m/s²= 2.60 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Uranus is:

g=9.81 m/s²×1.09=10.69 m/s²

F_{Uranus}=m·g=1.59 kg×10.69 m/s²= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

What is the acceleration of a dog that runs from 3 m/s to 6 m/s over a distance of 90m?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

solution given:

acceleration (a)=?

initial velocity (u)=3m/s

final velocity (v)=6m/s

distance (s)=90m

we have

v²=u²+2as

substituting value

6²=3²+2*a*90

36=9+180a

36-9=180a

a=25/180

<u>a=0.1388m/s²</u>
