A certain car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 s. What is the car's average acceleration in mph/s?

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where:

a = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf = final speed

t = time

Solving the equation [for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

The car accelerates from vo=0 to vf=60 mph in t=7.9 s, thus the acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{60 \ mph-0}{7.9}$

a = 7.6\ mph/s

Decide whether each statement describes mass or weight.

vova2212 [387]

Mass is measured in kilograms.
Mass does not change when gravity changes.
Mass is the amount of matter in something.

<u>Weight</u>

Before I answer, we have to know weight formula. Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
Therefore, weight is measured in Newtons.
Weight changes when gravity changes. This is because weight is dependent on acceleration due to gravity.
Weight is a gravitational force.

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.

You are using a hydrogen discharge tube and high quality red and blue light filters as the light source for a Michelson interfer

boyakko [2]

Answer:

final displacement = +24484.5 nm

Explanation:

The path difference when 158 bright spots were observed with red light (λ1 = 656.3 nm) is given as;

Δr = 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1

So, 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1

Dividing both sides by 2 to get;

d2 - d1 = 75λ1 - - - - eq1

Where;

d1 = distance between the fixed mirror and the beam splitter

d2 = position of moveable mirror from splitter when 158 bright spots are observed

Now, the path difference between the two waves when 114 bright spots were observed is;

Δr = 2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1

2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1

Divide both sides by 2 to get;

d'2 - d1 = 57λ1

Where;

d'2 is the new position of the movable mirror from the splitter

Now, the displacement of the moveable mirror is (d2 - d'2). To get this, we will subtract eq2 from eq1.

(d2 - d1) - (d'2 - d1) = 75λ1 - 57λ2

d2 - d1 - d'2 + d1 = 75λ1 - 57λ2

d2 - d'2 = 75λ1 - 57λ2

We are given;

(λ1 = 656.3 nm) and λ2 = 434.0 nm.

Thus;

d2 - d'2 = 75(656.3) - 57(434)

d2 - d'2 = +24484.5 nm

A 45-kg pole vaulter running at 10 m/s vaults over the bar. Her speed when she is above the bar is 1.1 m/s. Neglect air resistan

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The altitude or height of the pole vaulter as she crosses the bar is 4.04 m.

<h3>What is the height of the pole vaulter?</h3>

The height of the pole vaulter is determined from the change in kinetic energy which is equal to the potential energy at that height.

Potential energy = Change in kinetic energy

mgh = m(v - u)²/2

h = (v - u)²/2g

h = (10 - 1.1)²/2 * 9.8

h = 4.04 m.

In conclusion, the height is determined from the potential energy at that height.
