Answer:

D) 0.33 m/s² to the right

Explanation:

Apply Newton's second law.  Take right to be positive and left to be negative.

∑F = ma

20 N − 5 N = (45 kg) a

a = 0.33 m/s²

The couch accelerates at 0.33 m/s² to the right.

Answer: acceleration = 0.33m/s² to the right.

Explanation: when two forces act in opposite direction along same axis thier resultant direction is always with that force of higher magnitude in this case 20N

Resultant force F = -5N + 20N = 15N to the right.

But

F = Mass * acceleration

acceleration = F/ mass

= 15N/45kg

= 0.33N/kg

Which is also 0.33m/s² to the right.

stealth61 [152]

v = speed of the source of sound or the train towards the listener or switchman = 40 m/s

V = actual speed of sound = 340 m/s

f = actual frequency of sound as emitted from source or the train = 1000 Hz

f' = frequency as observed by the listener or by switchman = ?

Using Doppler's law , frequency observed by a listener from a source moving towards it is given as

f' = V f /(V - v)

inserting the values

f' = 340 x 1000 /(340 - 40)

f' = 340 x 1000/300

In his novel From the Earth to the Moon (1866), Jules Verne describes a spaceship that is blasted out of 12,000 yards/s. the Col
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch is 282652.782 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that spaceship is accelerated uniformly. A yard equals 0.914 meters. A feet equals 0.304 meters. If air viscosity and friction can be neglected, then acceleration (a), measured in meters per square second, is estimated by this kinematic formula:

a = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot \Delta s } (1)

Where:

\Delta s - Travelled distance, measured in meters.

v_{o}, v - Initial and final speeds of the spaceship, measured in meters.

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 10968\,\frac{m}{s} and \Delta s = 212.8\,m, then the acceleration experimented by the spaceship is:

a = \frac{\left(10968\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot (212.8\,m)}

a = 282652.782\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch is 282652.782 meters per square second.

B)
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

a) 16m/s b) 192m

Explanation:

v1=32m/s a=-2m/s^2 t=8s v2=? d=??

a) I will use this equation v2= v1 + a*t

v2= 32m/s + -2m/s^2 * 8s

v2= 32m/s + -16m/s

v2= 16m/s

b) v2^2=v1^2 + 2ad

rearranging

v2^2-v1^2=2ad

v2^2-v1^2/2= a d

v2^2-v1^2/2a=d

16m/s^2 - 32m/s^2/ 2 x-2m/s^2 =d

d=192m
