The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.

At what rate must a cylindrical spaceship rotate if occupants are to experience simulated gravity of 0.50 gg? Assume the spacesh
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The time needed is T  = 16.8 s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The magnitude of the stimulated acceleration due gravity is  a  =  0.5 g

        The diameter of the spaceship is  d =  35m

       

Generally the force acting on the spaceship is  

       F  =  ma

Given that the spaceship is rotating it implies that the force experienced by the occupant is a centripetal force so

      F  = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Thus  

       ma  =  \frac{mv^2}{r}

=>    \frac{v^2}{r}  =  a

      Generally the speed of this spaceship is mathematically represented as

      v =  \frac{2 \pi}{T}

=>    v^2  =   [\frac{2\pi}{T}] ^2

=>     \frac{\frac{4\pi^2 r^2}{T^2} }{r}  = 0.5g

=>       \frac{4 \pi^2 r }{T^2} =  0.5 g

=>         T  = \sqrt{ \frac{4\pi^2 r}{0.5g}}

substituting values

          T  = \sqrt{ \frac{4* (3.142)^2 *(35)}{0.5 * 9.8}}

         T  = 16.8 s

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

It will cause kinetic energy to increase.

Explanation:

Given that Speed and Motion you went from the starting line to the finish line at different rates.

If you repeated the activity while carrying weights but keeping your times the same, the weight carried will add up to the mass of the body.

And since Kinetic energy K.E = 1/2mv^2

Increase in the mass of the body will definitely make the kinetic energy of the body to increase.

Since the time is the same, that means the speed V is the same.

Weight W = mg

m = W/g

The new kinetic energy will be:

K.E = 1/2(M + m)v^2

This means that there will be increase in kinetic energy.

A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

d = 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is 0.251m

Explanation:

Given that

frequency of the sound is 5920 Hz

v=1485m/s

t=5.63s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\\\vt=2d\\\\d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{1485*5.63}{2}\\d= 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is \lambda = v/f

= (1485)/(5920)

= 0.251 m
