The only force acting on a 3.1 kg body as it moves along the positive x axis has an x component fx = -8x n, where x is in meters

. the velocity of the body at x = 2.0 m is 11 m/s. (a) what is the velocity of the body at x = 4.5 m? (b) at what positive value of x will the body have a velocity of 5.8 m/s?

<span>(a) -9.97 m/s
 (b) x = 2.83

   This is a simple problem in integral calculus. You've been given part of the 2nd derivative (acceleration), but not quite. You've been given the force instead. So let's setup a function for acceleration.

   f''(x) = -8x N / 3.1 kg= -8x kg*m/s^2 / 3.1 kg = -2.580645161x m/s^2

   So the acceleration of the body is now expressed as
 f''(x) = -2.580645161x m/s^2

    Let's calculate the anti-derivative from that.
 f''(x) = -2.580645161x m/s^2
 f'(x) = -1.290322581x^2 + C m/s

   Now let's use the known velocity value at x = 2.0 to calculate C
 f'(x) = -1.290322581x^2 + C 1
1 = -1.290322581*2^2 + C
 11 = -1.290322581*4 + C
 11 = -5.161290323 + C
 16.161290323 = C

   So the velocity function is
  f'(x) = -1.290322581x^2 + 16.161290323

   (a) The velocity at x = 4.5
  f'(x) = -1.290322581x^2 + 16.161290323
 f'(4.5) = -1.290322581*4.5^2 + 16.161290323
 f'(4.5) = -1.290322581*20.25 + 16.161290323
  f'(4.5) = -26.12903227 + 16.161290323
 f'(4.5) = -9.967741942

   So the velocity is -9.97 m/s

   (b) we want a velocity of 5.8 m/s
5.8 = -1.290322581x^2 + 16.161290323
 0 = -1.290322581x^2 + 10.36129032
 1.290322581x^2 = 10.36129032
 x^2 = 8.029999998
 x = 2.833725463</span>

A man pushes his lawnmower with a velocity of +0.75 m/s relative to the ground. A girl rides by on her bike with a velocity of +
SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. +5.75 m/s

Explanation:

When there are two bodies, a and b, whose velocities measured by a third observer (in this case, the ground) are V_a and V_b respectively, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by:

V_{ba}=V_b-V_a

Thus, the velocity of the girl relative to the lawnmower is:

V_{ba}=6.5\frac{m}{s}-0.75\frac{m}{s}\\V_{ba}=5.75\frac{m}{s}

The answers include the following:

  • The unit of length most suitable for measuring the thickness of a cell phone is a meter.
  • The unit of length most suitable for measuring the height of a backyard tree is a meter.

<h3>What is Meter?</h3>

This is defined as the standard unit for measuring the length of a body and is denoted as m.

Height is a vertical type of length which is why meter was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

A sound wave has a frequency of 500 Hz and a wavelength of 1.8 m. What is the wave speed of the sound wave? Question 1 options:
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 \frac{m}{s}.

Explanation:

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The propagation velocity is the speed with which the wave propagates in the medium, that is, it is the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation: v = f * λ.

In this case:

  • f= 500 Hz
  • λ= 1.8 m

Replacing:

v= 500 Hz* 1.8 m

v= 900 \frac{m}{s}

<u><em>The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 </em></u>\frac{m}{s}<u><em>.</em></u>
