If a car travels 23.8 meters in 4.2 seconds, what is its speed?

Lena [83]3 years ago

Displacement = Initial Velocity * time + 0.5 * acceleration * time^2

Initial velocity * time = 0 since we assume that the car is launching from start without motion.

So, displacement = 0.5 * acceleration * time ^ 2

23.8 = 0.5 * acceleration * 4.2^2

23.8 = 0.5 * 17.64 * acceleration

23.8 = 8.82 * acceleration

23.8/8.82 = acceleration = 2.69 m/s^2

Final Velocity = initial velocity + acceleration * time

Final velocity = 0 + 2.69 * 4.2 = 11.3 m/s

The doppler effect states that the motion of any object can ________
pshichka [43]

Answer:

shift the wavelength of spectral lines

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is commonly used in the field of astronomy to study the motion of astronomical objects such as a star, planets, and distant galaxies. This results in the changing of wavelength and shifting of the spectral lines, due to the relative and continuous motion of the receiver and the source. This is known as the red-shifting, where the lights in the spectrum move towards the highest wavelength, i.e towards the red light. This Doppler effect signifies that the distance between the distant galaxies and earth increases with the increasing recessional velocity.

an object is thrown horizontally off a cliff with an initial velocity of 5.0 meters per second. the object strikes the ground 3.
Olegator [25]
You know that the formula for finding horizontal displacement is; 

s=uₓt 
s=(5 m/s)(3s) 
s=15 m

Therefore, the ball travelled 15 m. 

Hope I helped :)

At a country music festival, a band is playing at the end of a crowded
Dominik [7]

Answer:

2270 full wavelengths.

Explanation:

The wavelength \lambda of the sound wave (assuming sound speed of  v= 343m/s) is

\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f} = \dfrac{343m/s}{400hz}

\lambda = 0.8575m.

Now, assuming the distance to the last row is 1947m, the number n of wavelengths that fit into this distance are

n = \dfrac{1947m}{0.8575m}

n= 2270.55

which is 2270 full wavelengths.

Hence, there are 2270 full wavelengths between the stage and the last row of the crowd.

You and your friends are driving down the road. Your car breaks down. You have to use a 1,210 N force to push the car 201 m to t
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

2.43\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

Since the force applied is parallel to the displacement of the car, the work done on the car is simply given by:

W=Fd

where

F = 1210 N is the force applied on the car

d = 201 m is the displacement of the car

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find:

W=(1210 N)(201 m)=2.43\cdot 10^5 J
