Answer: d. 5 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity in a given time.

a = (30-20)/2 = 5

The ball is travelling in horizontal direction with an acceleration of \bold{5\ m/ s^{2}}

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The rate at which velocity of an object changes is acceleration i.e., if the velocity of an object is changing, the object is accelerating. The unit of measurement of acceleration is Meter per Seconds Square. Acceleration is the derivative of the changing velocity wrt to time,

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}-----{Eqn} 1

Given,  

Initial velocity = 20 m/s (v_{i})  

Final velocity = 30 m/s (v_{f})

Initial time = 0 s (t_{i})

Final time = 2 s (t_{f})

From the equation 1,

\begin{aligned} a &=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{i}} \\ a &=\frac{30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}-20 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}}{2 \mathrm{s}}=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \end{aligned}

Hence, the acceleration of ball moving horizontally is \bold{5\ m/s^{2}}

The 2.50 kg cube in the figure has edge lengths d = 6.50 cm and is mounted on an axle
kozerog [31]

Answer:

0.191 s

Explanation:

The distance from the center of the cube to the upper corner is r = d/√2.

When the cube is rotated an angle θ, the spring is stretched a distance of r sin θ.  The new vertical distance from the center to the corner is r cos θ.

Sum of the torques:

∑τ = Iα

Fr cos θ = Iα

(k r sin θ) r cos θ = Iα

kr² sin θ cos θ = Iα

k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = Iα

For a cube rotating about its center, I = ⅙ md².

k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = ⅙ md² α

3k sin θ cos θ = mα

3/2 k sin(2θ) = mα

For small values of θ, sin θ ≈ θ.

3/2 k (2θ) = mα

α = (3k/m) θ

d²θ/dt² = (3k/m) θ

For this differential equation, the coefficient is the square of the angular frequency, ω².

ω² = 3k/m

ω = √(3k/m)

The period is:

T = 2π / ω

T = 2π √(m/(3k))

Given m = 2.50 kg and k = 900 N/m:

T = 2π √(2.50 kg / (3 × 900 N/m))

T = 0.191 s

The period is 0.191 seconds.

How does water get to the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity
alexira [117]
Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.

¿Qué energía cinética posee una pelota de tenis de 65 g que se sirve a una velocidad de 200 km / h?
vekshin1

Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If there is a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four. If there is a threefold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of nine.
