Acceleration is equal to the change in velocity per unit time. In this case, velocity has changed from 17.7 m/s to 14.1 m/s, which is a decrease of 3.6 m/s. This takes place in 12 seconds, so the average acceleration is 3.6 m/s / 12s = 0.3 m/s^2. The direction of this acceleration is south, since the car's northbound speed is decreasing.

E fundamental frequency of an open organ pipe corresponds to the middle c (261.6 hz on the chromatic musical scale). the third r
luda_lava [24]

The wavelength of the third resonance of the closed organ pipe is equal to the ratio between the speed of sound and the frequency of the 3rd harmonic:

\lambda_3 = \frac{c}{f_3}=\frac{343 m/s}{261.6 Hz} =1.31 m

The relationship between length of a closed pipe and wavelength of the standing waves inside is:

L=\frac{n}{4}\lambda_n

where n is the number of the harmonic. In this case, n=3, so the length of the pipe is

L=\frac{3}{4}(1.31 m)=0.98 m

A 3047.8 kg truck has lost its brakes coming down a mountain. Fortunately, there is a ramp of thick gravel inclined at 9.5 degre
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The work done by the gravel to stop the truck is 520.44 kJ

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Data given

Mass of the truck = 3047.8 kg

The ramp has an angle of 9.5 °

Velocity of  the truck = 20.68 m/s

distance = 26.6 meters

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate initial kinetic energy

sin 9.5° = 0.165

h = ℓ*sin 9.5° = 26.6*0.165= 4.39 m

Ek = 1/2m*Vo² = 1/2*3047.8*20.68² = 651714.7 Joule = 651.7 kJ  = initial kinetic energy

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate potential energy

Epot = U = m*g*h = 3047.8*9.81*4.39 = 131256.25 Joule = 131.26 kJ

<u>Step 4:</u>  What work is done by the truck on the gravel?  

Frictional energy Ef = 651.7 kJ - 131.26 kJ = 520.44 kJ

An archer shoots an arrow at a 75.0 m distant target; the bull’s-eye of the target is at same height as the release height of th
jeyben [28]

Answer:

the shooting angle ia 18.4º

Explanation:

For resolution of this exercise we use projectile launch expressions, let's see the scope

      R = Vo² sin (2θ) / g

      sin 2θ = g R / Vo²

      sin 2θ = 9.8 75/35²

      2θ = sin⁻¹ (0.6)

      θ = 18.4º

To know how for the arrow the tree branch we calculate the height of the arrow at this point

       X2 = 75/2 = 37.5 m

We calculate the time to reach this point since the speed is constant on the X axis

       X = Vox t

       t2 = X2 / Vox = X2 / (Vo cosθ)

        t2 = 37.5 / (35 cos 18.4)

        t2 = 1.13 s

With this time we calculate the height at this point

        Y = Voy t - ½ g t²

        Y = 35 sin 18.4   1.13 - ½ 9.8 1,13²

        Y = 6.23 m

With the height of the branch is 3.5 m and the arrow passes to 6.23, it passes over the branch
