A vw beetle goes from 0 to 60 mi/h with an acceleration of 2.35 m/s^2.

1 answer:

6 0

Part a.
u = 0, the initial velocity
v = 60 mi/h, the final velocity
a = 2.35 m/s², the acceleration.

Note that
1 m = 1609.34 m.
Therefore
v = (60 mi/h)*(1609.34 m/mi)*(1/3600 h/s) = 26.822 m/s
Use the formula
v = u + at
(26.822 m/s) = (2.35 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 26.822/2.35 = 11.4 s

Answer: 11.4 s

Part b.
We already determined that v = 60 mi/h = 26.822 m/s.
t = 0.6 s
Therefore
(26.822 m/s) = (a m/s²)*(0.6 s)
a = 26.822/0.6 = 44.7 m/s²

Answer: 44.7 m/s²

A sound wave with a frequency of 400 Hz is moving through a solid object. If the wavelength of the sound wave is 8 m, what is th

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

v = 3200 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the sound wave is given as

$f = 400 Hz$

wavelength of the sound wave is given as

$\lambda = 8 m$

so now we have

$speed = wavelength \times frequency$

so we will have

$v = (8m) \times (400 Hz)$

$v = 3200 m/s$

An hydrogen molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms whose total mass is 3.3×10−27 kg and whose moment of inertia about an axis p

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Explanation:

I = Moment of inertia = $4\times 10^{-48}\ kg m^2$

m = Mass of two atoms = 2m = $3.3\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

r = distance between axis and rotation mass

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

$I=mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=2mr^2\\\Rightarrow 4\times 10^{-48}=3.3\times 10^{-27}\times r^2\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 10^{-48}}{3.3\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow r=3.48155\times 10^{-11}\ m$

The distance between the atoms will be two times the distance between axis and rotation mass.

$d=2r\\\Rightarrow d=2\times 3.48155\times 10^{-11}\\\Rightarrow d=6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Therefore, the distance between the two atoms is $6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$
