In this question, we're trying to find the acceleration of the object.

In order to find acceleration, we would use the acceleration formula:

a = (Vf - Vi) / t

Vf = final velocity

Vi = initial velocity

t = time

Our Vf, or final velocity, would be 10. Our initial velocity would be 4.

This was accumulated over a 3 second period, so our time would be 3.

Plug in the values into the correct variables and solve.

a = (10 - 4) / 3

a = 6 / 3

a = 2

Remember, the unit of measurement for acceleration is m/s^2

So the acceleration of the object would be 2 m/s^2

Answer:

2 m/s^2

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration=(v-u)/t

Then a=(10-4)/3

=6/3

=2m/s^2

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

v = 0.84m/s, v(max)= 0.997m/s

Explanation:

Initial work done by the spring, where c is the compression = 0.28m:

W_s = \frac{1}{2}kc^2

Work lost to friction:

W_f =\mu mg(c-x)

Energy:

E = W_s-W_f=\frac{1}{2}kc^2 -\mu mg(c-x)=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2

(a) Solve for v:

v=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}(c^2-x^2)-2\mu g(c-x)}

(b) Solve \frac{dv}{dx}=0 for x:

\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{\mu g-\frac{k}{m}x}{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}(c^2-x^2)-2\mu g(c-x)}}

\frac{dv}{dx}=0 if:

\mu g-\frac{k}{m}x = 0

x_{max} = \frac{\mu gm}{k}

v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}c^2-2\mu gc+(\mu g)^2\frac{m}{k}}

A car cruises at a constant rate of 50 miles per hour. How much time will it take to go 600 miles?
Len [333]
Speed is constant. 50 miles = 1 hour. 600/50 = 12. 1hr(12) = 12 hours.

A light beam has speed c in vacuum and speed v in a certain plastic. The index of refraction n of this plastic is
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

n = \frac{c}{v}

Explanation:

Refractive Index: It is a measure to find how fast the light travels through a medium. It is ration of the speed of light in vacuum to speed of light in the medium. Speed of light is not constant and varies depending on the density of the medium.

In vacuum the speed of light is 300000 km/s and is denoted by c. When the light beam enters any medium the speed will decrease. Here it is given that the speed in plastic is v. Thus the refractive index(n) is given as:

n = \frac{c}{v}

It is a dimensionless no.
