"Gravity gets stronger when there's more mass and weaker when you get farther away" tells you very little.
"A whole lot of energy can come from just a little tiny bit of mass" tells you very little.
And "The speed of light is very very very very very fast" tells you almost nothing.

2. A wave on a rope has a wavelength of 2.0 m and a frequency of 2.0 Hz. What is the speed of the

TEA [102]

Answer:

4 m/s or 4 meters per second.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of wave, you multiply the wavelength in meters and the frequency of the Wave in Hertz. 2 times 2 equals 4. The wave speed is always in m/s considering that the wavelength is also in meters.

For a short period of time, the frictional driving force acting on the wheels of the 2.5-Mg van is N, where t is in seconds. If

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

15.6m/s

Completed Question;

For a short period of time, the frictional driving force acting on the wheels of the 2.5-Mg van is N= 600t^2 , where t is in seconds. If the van has a speed of 20 km/h when t = 0, determine its speed when t = 5

Explanation:

Mass m = 2500kg

Speed v1 = 20km/h = 20/3.6 m/s = 5.556 m/s

To determine speed v2;

Using the principle of momentum and impulse;

mv1 + ∫₀⁵ F dt = mv2

Marybeth and Grant are pushing on a wagon, both pushing in opposite directions. Marybeth is pushing to the left with a force of

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

14 N to the right

Explanation:

The net force is equal to the resultant of the forces acting on the wagon. In this case, we are considering two forces acting on the wagon:

- The force applied by Marybeth, to the left, of magnitude 34 N

- The force applied by Grant, to the right, of magnitude 48 N

Since the two forces are in opposite directions, in order to find the net force, we must choose a positive direction. Let's take "right" as positive direction, so the net force is:

$F=+48 N-34 N=+14 N$

And the positive sign means the net force is to the right. Due to this net force different from zero, the wagon will have an acceleration to the right, so if the wagon was at rest, it will start moving to the right.
