8 0

The return stroke (the current that cause the visible flash) moves upward at a speed of about 320,000,000 ft per second or about 220,000,000 miles per hour (about 1/3 the speed of light).

Which value is represented by the slope of the line?

netineya [11]

The slope of the line is

(change in ' y ' between the ends) / (change in ' x ' between the ends)

Slope = (630g - 0) / (70 cm^3 - 0)

Slope = (630 / 70) g/cm^3

Slope = 9.0 g/cm^3

Roller coasters accelerates from initial speed of 6.0 M/S2 final speed of 70 M/S over four seconds. What is the acceleration?

choli [55]

Answer:

$a=16\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Motion With Constant Acceleration

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The formula to calculate the change of velocities is:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where:

a = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf = final speed

t = time

The roller coaster moves from vo=6 m/s to vf=70 m/s in t=4 seconds. To calculate the acceleration, solve for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{70-6}{4}=\frac{64}{4}$

$\boxed{a=16\ m/s^2}$

Predict the deformation or elongation of a spring that has a constant of elasticity of 400 N/m when a force of 75 N is applied i

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Give that,

Spring constant (k)=40N/m

Force applied =75N

Since the force is applied to the right, we don't know if it is compressing or stretching the spring

So let assume it compress

Using hooke's law

F=-ke

e=-F/k

Then, e=-75/40

e=-1.875m

The deformation is 1.875m.

Let assume it stretch

Using hooke's law

-F=-ke

e=F/k

Then, e=75/40

e=1.875m

The elongation is 1.875m

Speed=100m/sec Frequency=10 Hz Wavelength=?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Wavelength = 10 m

Explanation:

Given:

Speed = 100 m $s^{-1}$

Frequency = 10 Hz = 10 $s^{-1}$

To find : Wavelength = ?

We know that the relationship between wavelength λ, frequency f and speed v is given by the equation

v = fλ

Therefore wavelength λ = v/f

= 100 m $s^{-1}$ / 10 m $s^{-1}$

= 10 m

Hence wavelength = 10 m
