Answer: 1) a = 9.61m/s² pointing to west.

             2) (a) Δv = - 37.9km/s

                  (b) a = - 6.10⁷km/years

Explanation: Aceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

1) For the plane:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

a=\frac{125}{13}

a = 9.61m/s²

The plane is moving east, so velocity points in that direction. However, it is stopping at the time of 13s, so acceleration's direction is in the opposite direction. Therefore, acceleration points towards west.

2) Total change of velocity:

\Delta v = v_{f}-v_{i}

\Delta v = -17.1-(+20.8)

\Delta v= -37.9km/s

The interval is in years, so transforming seconds in years:

v = \frac{-37.9}{3.15.10^{-7}}

v=-12.03.10^{7}km/years

Calculating acceleration:

a=\frac{-12.03.10^{-7}}{2.01}

a=-6.10^{7}

Acceleration of an asteroid is a = -6.10⁷km/years .

Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units and points in the positive x direction. A second vector, B , has a magnitude of 120 units a
Alex Ar [27]

A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_x = v cos \theta

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

\theta is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its x-component is

A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ} (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_y = v sin \theta

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its y-component is

A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ}, so the y-component is

B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply the formula of Doppler effect here

F( APPARENT) = F( REAL ) X V/(V + Vs) [ v is velocity of sound and Vs is velocity of source.

415 = 440 X 343/343+Vs

142345 + 415Vs = 150920

415 V₀ = 8575

V₀ = 20.66 m/s.

Consider a spring mass system (mass m1, spring constant k) with period T1. Now consider a spring mass system with the same sprin
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Assuming that both mass here move horizontally on a frictionless surface, and that this spring follows Hooke's Law, then the mass of m_2 would be four times that of m_1.

Explanation:

In general, if the mass in a spring-mass system moves horizontally on a frictionless surface, and that the spring follows Hooke's Law, then

\displaystyle \frac{m_2}{m_1} = \left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^2.

Here's how this statement can be concluded from the equations for a simple harmonic motion (SHM.)

In an SHM, if the period is T, then the angular velocity of the SHM would be

\displaystyle \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}.

Assume that the mass starts with a zero displacement and a positive velocity. If A represent the amplitude of the SHM, then the displacement of the mass at time t would be:

\mathbf{x}(t) = A\sin(\omega\cdot t).

The velocity of the mass at time t would be:

\mathbf{v}(t) = A\,\omega \, \cos(\omega\, t).

The acceleration of the mass at time t would be:

\mathbf{a}(t) = -A\,\omega^2\, \sin(\omega \, t).

Let m represent the size of the mass attached to the spring. By Newton's Second Law, the net force on the mass at time t would be:

\mathbf{F}(t) = m\, \mathbf{a}(t) = -m\, A\, \omega^2 \, \cos(\omega\cdot t),

Since it is assumed that the mass here moves on a horizontal frictionless surface, only the spring could supply the net force on the mass. Therefore, the force that the spring exerts on the mass will be equal to the net force on the mass. If the spring satisfies Hooke's Law, then the spring constant k will be equal to:

\begin{aligned} k &= -\frac{\mathbf{F}(t)}{\mathbf{x}(t)} \\ &= \frac{m\, A\, \omega^2\, \cos(\omega\cdot t)}{A \cos(\omega \cdot t)} \\ &= m \, \omega^2\end{aligned}.

Since \displaystyle \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}, it can be concluded that:

\begin{aligned} k &= m \, \omega^2 = m \left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2\end{aligned}.

For the first mass m_1, if the time period is T_1, then the spring constant would be:

\displaystyle k = m_1\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_1}\right)^2.

Similarly, for the second mass m_2, if the time period is T_2, then the spring constant would be:

\displaystyle k = m_2\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_2}\right)^2.

Since the two springs are the same, the two spring constants should be equal to each other. That is:

\displaystyle m_1\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_1}\right)^2 = k = m_2\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_2}\right)^2.

Simplify to obtain:

\displaystyle \frac{m_2}{m_1} = \left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^2.
