acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

the speed has increased from 5 m/s to 7.5 m/s over a period of 1.25 s

the formula to calculate acceleration is as follows

$a = \frac{v-u}{t}$

where a - acceleration

u - initial velocity

v - final velocity

t - time

substituting the values in the equation

$a = \frac{7.5 m/s - 5.0 m/s}{1.25 s} = \frac{2.5}{1.25} = 2$

acceleration is 2 m/s²

Acceleration = Change in Velocity/Time taken
= 2.5/1.25
= 2m/s^2 (or 2m/s/s)

What are the chemical properties of elements related to?

MAVERICK [17]

<span>The chemical properties of ANY atom are found in how they react with other elements.

A. An element's symbol - Nothing to do with reactions

B. The average atomic mass -The mass doesn't react

C. The number of electrons that occupy the outer shell - the only part of the electrons that move, SO they are involved in the reactions (answer)

D. The total number of electrons - The inner electrons cannot move from the atom unless there is ALOT of energy given to them, so these cannot react and would not contribute to the chemical properties.</span>

A hockey puck oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal track while attached to a horizontal spring. The puck has mass 0.160 kg a

marshall27 [118]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

mass (m) = 0.160 kg, spring constant (k) = 8 n/m,

Maximum speed ( $v_{m}$ ) = 0.350 m/s

Formula for angular frequency is as follows.

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{{k}{m}}$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{{8}{0.160}}$

$\omega$ = 7.07 rad/sec

(a) Formula to calculate the amplitude is as follows.

$\nu_{max} = A \omega$

A = $\frac{\nu}{\omega}$

= $\frac{0.35}{7.07}$

= 0.05 m

Hence, value of amplitude is 0.05 m.

(b) Displacement = 0.030 m

Formula for mechanical energy is as follows.

M.E = $\frac{1}{2}kA^{2}$

Putting the values into the above formula as follows.

M.E = $\frac{1}{2}kA^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times (0.05)^{2}$

= $9.8 \times 10^{-3}$ Joule

For x = 0.03,

As, P.E = $\frac{1}{2} \times kx^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times (0.03)$

= $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$

Hence, calculate the kinetic energy as follows.

K.E = M.E - P.E

= ( $9.8 \times 10^{-3}$ - $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ ) J

= $6.2 \times 10^{-3}$ J

Thus, we can conclude that kinetic energy of the puck when the displacement of the glider is 0.0300 m is $6.2 \times 10^{-3}$ J.

To determine the y-component of a projectile’s velocity, what operation is performed on the angle of the launch?

koban [17]

<em>To determine the y component of velocity of a projectile </em><u><em>sine </em></u><em>operation is performed on the angle of launch.</em>

<u>Answer:</u> <em>sine</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Thus $a_x=0,a_y=g$

The initial velocity u can be resolved along two directions.

Along the X direction initial velocity = u cos θ

Along y direction initial velocity= u sin θ

From the equation of motion $v= u+at$

Thus velocity along x direction $v_x$ =u cos θ

Velocity along y direction $v_y$ = u sinθ -gt

Sign of g is negative.

Draw the vector C⃗ =1.5A⃗ −3B⃗ .

hammer [34]

If A is the measurement in the x-axis and B is the direction in the y-direction,

Magnitude = √(1.5² + (-3)²)
Magnitude = 3.35 units

Direction:
tan∅ = y/x
tan∅ = 3/1.5
∅ = 63.4°
Tan is negative in the second and fourth quadrants, and the values of x and y indicate that it is in the fourth quadrant. Therefore, the direction is 63.4° below the positive x-axis.
