Acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by time.

That's the "time rate of change" of velocity.

Answer:

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because distance divided by time is the position. Speed multiplied by time is the distance. And acceleration is not just velocity, but the change in velocity over time.

A baseball pitcher throws a baseball horizontally at a linear speed of 49.4 m/s. Before being caught, the baseball travels a hor

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$v = 3.61 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that ball travels horizontal distance of 24.7 m with uniform speed 49.4 m/s

so we will have

$t = \frac{x}{v_x}$

$t = \frac{24.7}{49.4}$

$t = 0.5 s$

now in the same time ball is turned by angle

$\theta = 52.7 rad$

now we know that

$\theta = \omega t$

$52.7 = \omega (0.5)$

$\omega = 105.4 rad/s$

now the tangential speed of a point at equator is given as

$v = r\omega$

$v = 0.0343(105.4)$

$v = 3.61 m/s$

A. How long does it take light to travel through a 3.0-mm-thick piece of window glass?

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

a) $1.517\times10^{-11}$ s

b) 3.41 mm

Explanation:

We take the speed of light, c = $3.0\times10^8$ m/s and the refractive index of glass as 1.517.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

$n=\dfrac{c}{s}$

$s=\dfrac{c}{n}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{c/n}$

$t=\dfrac{dn}{c}$

$t=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{3.0\times10^8}$

$t=1.517\times10^{-11}$

We take the refractive index of water as 1.333.

Speed in water = speed in vacuum / refractive index of water

Distance = speed * time

$d=s\times t$

$d=\dfrac{c}{n_w}\times \dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{c}$

$d=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times 1.517}{1.333}$

d = 3.41 mm

A spring stretches 5 cm when a 300-N mass is suspended from it. Calculate the spring constant in N / m .

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Spring constant in N / m = 6,000

Explanation:

Given:

Length of spring stretches = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Force = 300 N

Find:

Spring constant in N / m

Computation:

Spring constant in N / m = Force/Distance

Spring constant in N / m = 300 / 0.05

Spring constant in N / m = 6,000
