I believe it is water that is the medium for beach erosion

I think it would be water because the waves (tides) are repeatedly bringing sand to the shore and dragging more sand back into the ocean. So water seems the most logical.

A. A land speed car can decelerate at 9.8m/s. How long does it take the car to come to a complete stop from a run of 885 km/hr (

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A. 25.08 s

B. 3082.53 m

C. 3×10⁵ m/s²

Explanation:

A. Determination of the time.

This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Acceleration (a) = –9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 245.8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time (t) =.?

v = u + at

0 = 245.8 + (–9.8 × t)

0 = 245.8 – 9.8t

Collect like terms

0 – 245.8 = – 9.8t

– 245.8 = – 9.8t

Divide both side by –9.8

t = –245.8 / –9.8

t = 25.08 s

Therefore, it will take 25.08 s for the car to come to a complete stop.

B. Determination of the distance travelled by the car.

Acceleration (a) = –9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 245.8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 245.8² + (2 × –9.8 × s)

0 = 60417.64 – 19.6s

Collect like terms

0 – 60417.64 = – 19.6s

– 60417.64 = – 19.6s

Divide both side by –19.6

s = –60417.64 / –19.6

s = 3082.53 m

Thus, the car travelled a distance of 3082.53 m before stopping completely.

C. Determination of the acceleration of the object.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 600 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.6 m

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

600² = 0² + (2 × a × 0.6)

360000 = 0 + 1.2a

360000 = 1.2a

Divide both side by 1.2

a = 360000 / 1.2

a = 300000 = 3×10⁵ m/s²

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses in the outer sec

GaryK [48]

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the carousel at the State Fair, Mary's and Alex's angular speed M and tangential speed vM is mathematically given as

Mary's and Alex's angular speed=1.43

Tangential speed mary=3.22 m/s

Tangential speed alex =2.260m/s

<h3>What is Mary's and Alex's angular speed M and tangential speed vM?</h3>

Generally, the equation for angular speed is mathematically given as

$w=2\pi /T\\\\Therefore\\\\w=2\pi/3.9$

w = 1.61 rev/see 3.9

Centripetal acc mary = v^2/r

Centripetal acc mary = w^2r

Centripetal acc mary = w^2x 2m

Centripetal acc. of Alex = w²x L.u

Therefore

$\frac{(ac) mary }{(ac) plex}= 1.43$

Hence

tang. speed V=Wr

tang. speed of mary = 1.61x2 = 3.22 m/s

tang. speed of Alex: 1.61X1·4 =2.260m/s
