The stopping sight distance for a car traveling at 50 mph is 461 ft (including both perception-reaction distance and braking dis
Ivan

Answer:

2.08 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed,v=50mph=73.3ft/s

1 mile=5280 feet

1 hour=3600 s

Distance,d=461 ft

t=2.5 s

v'=60 mph=88 ft/s

We have to find the perception reaction time.

Perception reaction distance=d_p=vt=73.3\ti es 2.5=183.25 feet

d_p=d'_p

d'_p=v't

t'=\frac{183.25}{88}=2.08 s

It is found that a 5.70 m segment of a long string contains three complete waves and has a mass of 180 g. The string is vibratin
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

1.9 m.

Explanation:

Three complete waves in the length of 5.7 m

The distance traveled by one complete wave is called wavelength.

Thus, the distance traveled by one wave = 5.7 / 3 = 1.9 m

Thus, the wavelength is 1.9 m.

How fast is a ball going when it hits the ground after being dropped from a
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

Data:

  • Height (h) = 9 m
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Velocity Final (Vf) = ?

Use formula:

  • Vf² = 2 * g * h

Replace:

  • Vf² = 2 * 9.8 m/s² * 9 m

Multiply gravity with height:

  • Vf² = 2 * 88.2

Multiply:

  • Vf² = 176.4

Solve the square root:

  • Vf = 13.3

How fast is the ball going?

The speed is going at a speed of <u>13.3 meters per second.</u>

Crust describes the outermost shell of a terrestrial planet. Earth’s crust is relatively thin, just 40-kilometers (25-miles) dee
Anni [7]

Answer:

"Crust" refers to a

terrestrial planet's outermost surface.

In general, the Earth's crust is divided into

older, thicker continental crust and younger, denser oceanic crust.

...

The thin, 40-kilometer (25-mile) deep crust of our planet — just

1 per cent of Earth's mass — contains all known universe existence.

Explanation:

Continental crust is thicker, 22 miles (35 km) on average and less dense than oceanic crust, which accounts for its mean surface elevation of about 3 miles (4.8 km) above that of the ocean floor (Archimedes’ principle). Continental crust is more complex than oceanic crust…

A weight of 6 kg increases the speed of its force from 2 m / s to 4 m / s. By how many joules does the kinetic energy of the bod
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

36 J

Explanation:

Let's start off with the Kinetic Energy formula: 1/2mv^{2}

So to find the <em>change</em> in Kinetic Energy, you would first have to find the Kinetic Energy in the beginning and in the end.

*Note: Mass: you incorrectly wrote weight = 6 kg- because weight is a force you have to write 6 Newtons. If you are talking about the <em>mass</em>, you would write 6 kg. If you are talking about weight, you would write 6 Newtons. The difference will make significant changes to the answer, so I will give you the answer for both.

If 6 kg is the MASS:

Beginning: find the kinetic energy.

Plug in all parts of the formula: 1/2mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}(6)(2 squared)= \frac{1}{2}(6)(4)= 12 J

End: find the kinetic energy.

Plug in all parts of the formula: 1/2mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(6)(4 squared)=\frac{1}{2}(6)(16)= 48 J

Answer:

36 J

If 6 kg is the WEIGHT:

We know that the weight formula is mg, or mass times acceleration due to gravity (which is always 9.8 m/s^2). Plug in the numbers:

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

6 = mass x 9.8

6 = 9.8m

*Divide both sides*

mass = 0.6 kg

Now, we can use the mass to find the kinetic energy.

Beginning: find the Kinetic Energy

Plug in all parts of the formula: 1/2mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.6)(2 squared)= \frac{1}{2}(0.6)(4)= 1.2 J

End: find the Kinetic Energy

Plug in all parts of the formula: 1/2mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(0.6)(4 squared)=\frac{1}{2}(0.6)(16)= 4.8 J

Answer:

3.6 J

(this answer is not very feasible, so 36 J is the way to go. But just remember, don't mix up weight and mass again- as you can see, they lead to different answers!)
