You are in an elevator that is accelerating you upward at 4.55 m/s^2. How much time does it take you to reach a speed of 11.0 m/

s?​

5 0

Answer:

t = 2.01 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

The acceleration of the elevator is 4.55 m/s².

We need to find time taken by you to reach a speed of 11 m/s

The initial velocity of the person is equal to 0 (at rest). Let t is the time.

Using equation of kinematics as follows :

v = u +at

Acceleration = g-a and u = 0

So,

t=\dfrac{v}{g-a}\\\\t=\dfrac{11}{10-4.55}\\\\t=2.01\ s

So, 2.01 seconds is taken to reach a speed of 11 m/s.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.

Titus drives his jetski a distance of 1000 meters in 7.045 seconds. How fast was he moving in meters per second? How fast was he
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) v = 141.9 m/s

b) v = 317.4 miles/h

Explanation:

a) How fast was he moving in meters per second?

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s

Hence, the jet ski is moving at 141.9 meters per second.

b) How fast was he moving in miles per hour?

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s*\frac{3600 s}{1 h}*\frac{1 mile}{1609.34 m} = 317.4 miles/h      

Therefore, the jet ski is moving at 317.4 miles per hour.

I hope it helps you!

Which of the following best describes a vector?
garik1379 [7]

Vectors are used to represent physical magnitudes that have an associated address. For example, if we want to represent the displacement of an object, it is not enough to describe only the distance as 10 meters, it is also necessary to describe in which direction the displacement occurred, for example, 30 ° towards the northeast.

Therefore the vectors are measured in one or several dimensions that include a magnitude and an address.

The correct option is the last:

"<em>a measurement in more than one dimension that includes a magnitude and a direction</em>"

A steel cable has a cross-sectional area 4.49 × 10^-3 m^2 and is kept under a tension of 2.96 × 10^4 N. The density of steel is
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.

Explanation:

let T = 2.96×10^4 N be the tension in in the steel cable, ρ  = 7860 kg/m^3 is the density of the steel and A = 4.49×10^-3 m^2 be the cross-sectional area of the cable.

then, if V is the volume of the cable:

ρ = m/V

m = ρ×V

but V = A×L , where L is the length of the cable.

m = ρ×(A×L)

m/L = ρ×A

then the speed of the wave in the cable is given by:

v = √(T×L/m)

  = √(T/A×ρ)

  = √[2.96×10^4/(4.49×10^-3×7860)]

  = 25.5 m/s

Therefore, the transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.
