An object is thrown horizontally off of a cliff. While falling, what happens to the horizontal acceleration?

There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction because the speed in that direction is constant. So it stays at zero.

As a bat flies toward a wall at a speed of 6.0 m/s, the bat emits an ultrasonic sound wave with frequency 30.0 kHz. What frequen
Leto [7]

Answer:

f_b = 29.98 Hz

Explanation:

speed of bat = 6 m/s

sound wave frequency emitted by bat = 30.0 kHz

as we know,

speed of sound (c)= 343 m/s

f_w = f(\dfrac{c+v_r}{c+v_s})

f_w = 30(\dfrac{343+0}{343+6})

f_w = 29.48 Hz

now frequency received by bat is equal to  

f_b = f(\dfrac{c+v_r}{c+v_s})

f_b = 29.48(\dfrac{343+6}{343+0})

f_b = 29.98 Hz

hence the frequency hear by bat will be 29.98 Hz

A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 29.0 m/s. Then the truck trav
Radda [10]

Answer:

44.5s ; 22.64 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the truck could be separated into 3 different phases :

First :

Time of motion :

Initial Velocity, u = 0 ; final velocity, v = 29 m/s

Acceleration, a = 2 m/s²

Recall: acceleration = change in velocity / time

Time = change in velocity / acceleration

Time = (29 - 0) / 2 = 14.5 second

Distance traveled = ((29 + 0) /2) * 14.5 = 210.25 m

Second :

Time = 25 seconds at constant speed

29 m/s for 25 seconds

v*t = 29 * 25 = 725 m

Third:

5 seconds before coming to rest

((29 + 0) /2) * 5

14.5 * 5 = 72.5 m

A.)

Length of journey = (14.5+ 25 + 5) = 44.5 seconds

B.)

Average velocity = total distance / total time taken

Average velocity = (210.25 + 725 + 72.5) / 44.5

= 1007.75 / 44.5

= 22.646067

= 22.64 m/s

The six statements below represent Newton's three laws of motion and Kepler's three laws of planetary motion. Match each stateme
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1. Force = mass x acceleration - Newton

2. A planet moves faster in the part of its orbit nearer the Sun and slower when farther from the Sun, sweeping out  equal areas in equal times - Kepler

3. For any force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force - Newton .

4. An object moves at constant velocity if there is no net force acting upon it - Newton

5. The orbit of each planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus  - Kepler.

6. More distant planets orbit the Sun at slower average speeds, obeying the precise mathematical relationship p2-a3 - Kepler.

Explanation:

The three laws of planetary motion formulated by Johannes Kepler or Kepler's laws of planetary motion:

  1. The first law states that the planets move around the Sun in an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one of the foci.
  2. The second law states that the line segment joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time.
  3. The third law states that the square of the orbital period (p) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance (a) from the Sun (or semi-major axis of its orbit) i.e., p² is proportional to a³.

The three laws of motion formulated by Sir Isaac Newton or Newton's laws of motion:

  1. The first law, also known as the law of inertia states that an object at rest or moves at a constant velocity will remain at rest or keep moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by a force.
  2. The second law states that the total force (F) applied on an object is directly related to the acceleration (a) of that object produced by the applied force and the mass (m) of the object, i.e., F = ma (assuming the mass m is constant).
  3. The third law, also known as the law of action and reaction states that when an object exerts a force on another object, then the latter exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the former object i.e., for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The example includes the recoiling of a gun when it fires a bullet forward.

Katie rolls a toy car off the end of a table. Which path will the car follow when it leaves the table? A. B. C. D.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

parabolic path

Explanation:

As the cart reaches the end of the table with a horizontally directed velocity (only horizontal component), the cart will follow a parabolic path given by the combined action of:

(1) kinematic equation for motion under constant velocity in the horizontal direction (linear expression in terms of time), and

(2) kinematic equation for motion under constant acceleration (that of gravity) in the vertical direction (quadratic expression in terms of time)
