Km/h² or m/s/s are the appropriate units of the acceleration.

Acceleration is the rate change of velocity of an object. it is given by

a=ΔV/Δt

Δv= change in speed

Δt= time taken

Δv is measured in meter of km

Time is measured in second s or hour h

so the units of acceleration are km/h² or m/s/s

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 64.g bullet moving at a speed of 411.ms . Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the bullet is 5.4 × 10³ J

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of kinetic energy is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass of the bullet.

v = speed of the bullet.

Let´s convert the mass unit to kg so that our result is in Joules:

64 g · ( 1 kg / 1000 g) = 0.064 kg

Then, the kinetic energy will be the following:

KE = 1/2 · 0.064 kg · (411 m/s)²

KE = 5.4 × 10³ J

A 1.8 kg uniform rod with a length of 90 cm is attached at one end to a frictionless pivot. It is free to rotate about the pivot
Leokris [45]

Answer:

a. 32.67 rad/s²  b. 29.4 m/s²

Explanation:

a. The initial angular acceleration of the rod

Since torque τ = Iα = WL (since the weight of the rod W is the only force acting on the rod , so it gives it a torque, τ at distance L from the pivot )where I = rotational inertia of uniform rod about pivot = mL²/3 (moment of inertia about an axis through one end of the rod), α = initial angular acceleration, W = weight of rod = mg where m = mass of rod = 1.8 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and L = length of rod = 90 cm = 0.9 m.

So, Iα = WL

mL²α/3 = mgL

dividing through by mL, we have

Lα/3 = g

multiplying both sides by 3, we have

Lα = 3g

dividing both sides by L, we have

α = 3g/L

Substituting the values of the variables, we have

α = 3g/L

= 3 × 9.8 m/s²/0.9 m

= 29.4/0.9 rad/s²

= 32.67 rad/s²

b. The initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod?

The linear acceleration at the initial point is tangential, so a = Lα = 0.9 m × 32.67 rad/s² = 29.4 m/s²

Most likely it would dislodge the coconut on the way down due to gravity because on the way up the gravity would slow down the rock but on they down the gravity pulls the rock

Cleo stated that light travels through air in straight paths, and when it moves from air to water, light changes direction, spee
Andru [333]

Answer:

Light slows down when it moves from air into water.

Explanation:

It is the property of light that travels faster in a less dense medium.

In a more dense medium, the speed of the light slows down and bends towards the normal.

The air is less dense medium and water is a more dense medium.

When light passes from air to water, the light bends.

This is known as the refraction of light.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

B. It is directly proportional to the source charge.

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the total (net) flux of an electric field at points on a closed surface is directly proportional to the electric charge enclosed by that surface.

This ultimately implies that, Gauss's law relates the electric field at points on a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface.

This electromagnetism law was formulated in 1835 by famous scientists known as Carl Friedrich Gauss.

Mathematically, Gauss's law is given by this formula;

ϕ = (Q/ϵ0)

Where;

ϕ is the electric flux.

Q represents the total charge in an enclosed surface.

ε0 is the electric constant.

Hence, the statement which is true of the electric field at a distance from the source charge is that it is directly proportional to the source charge.
