-- From January 15 to February 6 is a period of 22 days.

-- The period of the full cycle of moon phases is 29.53 days.

-- So those dates represent (22/29.53) = 74.5% of a full cycle of phases.

-- That's almost exactly 3/4 of a full cycle, so on February 6, the moon would be almost exactly at <em>Third Quarter</em>. That's the <em>left half of a disk </em>(viewed from the northern hemisphere).

The A note has a frequency of 440 Hz. What is the wavelength if the speed of sound is 343 m/s?

Nina [5.8K]

The wavelength of a wave (λ) is given by λ $= \frac{c}{f}$
where c is the wave speed and f is the frequency

An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.76 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 11 m, and then

Answer:

t=17.838s

Explanation:

The displacement is divided in two sections, the first is a section with constant acceleration, and the second one with constant velocity. Let's consider the first:

The acceleration is, by definition:

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}=1.76$

So, the velocity can be obtained by integrating this expression:

$v=1.76t$

The velocity is, by definition: $v=\frac{dx}{dt}$ , so

$dx=1.76tdt\\x=1.76\frac{t^{2}}{2}$ .

Do x=11 in order to find the time spent.

$11=1.76\frac{t^2}{2}\\ t^2=\frac{2*11}{76} \\t=\sqrt{12.5}=3.5355s$

At this time the velocity is: $v=1.76t=1.76*3.5355s=6.2225\frac{m}{s}$

This velocity remains constant in the section 2, so for that section the movement equation is:

$x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}$

The left distance is 89 meters, and the velocity is $6.2225\frac{m}{s}$ , so:

$t=\frac{89}{6.2225}=14.303s$

So, the total time is 14.303+3.5355s=17.838s

What are all the Newton’s laws of motion?

balandron [24]

1st Law Of Motion: An object will often remain at rest or continue moving unless acted upon.
2nd Law Of Motion: Force is equal to mass times acceleration
3rd Law Of Motion: For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction
