Answer:

His acceleration is -0.0625 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity is, $u=3.2\ m/s$

Final velocity is, $v=1.2\ m/s$

Time taken for the change is, $t=32\ s$

Acceleration of a body is defined as the rate at which the velocity is changing. Acceleration is positive if there is increase in velocity with time and acceleration is negative when the body slows down or there is decrease in velocity with time.

Here, there is decrease in velocity over the given time. Therefore, the acceleration is negative and is given as:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\frac{1.2-3.2}{32}\\\\a=\frac{-2}{32}=-0.0625\ m/s^2$

Therefore, his acceleration is -0.0625 m/s².

A tire sits atop a ramp. When the tire is released, it rolls down the ramp. At the ramp's bottom, the speeding tire knocks down

k0ka [10]

Answer:

mechanical energy

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the combination of both potential energy and kinetic

Mechanical energy can be divided as

1)kinetic energy, this energy vis regarded as the energy of motion

2) potential energy which is the stored energy of position.

Mechanical energy reffered to as

motion energy this energy is responsible for the movement of an object based on its position as well as motion.

Mechanical energy= U + K

Where U= potential energy

K= Kinectic energy

As the tire is sitting on top of a ramp, it posses "potential energy" as it is released and rolls down the ramp the potential is converted to Kinectic energy

Which statement regarding sound traveling in air is correct?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer: D. A wave with a shorter wavelength is always faster than one with a longer wavelength

Explanation: "Imagine two sets of waves that have the same speed. If one set has a longer wavelength, it will have a lower frequency (more time between waves). If the other set has a shorter wavelength, it will have a higher frequency (less time between waves). Light moves even faster AND has shorter wavelengths."

Why it's not C: "The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer."

Why it's not B: "The frequency does not change as the sound wave moves from one medium to another. Since the speed changes and the frequency does not, the wavelength must change."

Why it's not A: "Do loud sounds travel faster than soft sounds? No. Both travel at the same speed The speed depends on the medium it passes through. Louder sounds are simply sound waves with higher amplitude traveling at the same speed."

I need help with this please

kondaur [170]

Answer:

1. The respiratory system functions when our involuntary nervous system sends impulses to the muscles in the diaphragm; thereby, causing the lungs to expand and contract.

2. The respiratory system oxygenates the blood which is vital for bodily function as oxygenated blood is carried from your lungs to the left side of your heart, to be circulated throughout the body. Furthermore deoxygenated blood is carried back to the right side of your heart to get oxygenated once more.

3. The other body systems that are crucial for the lungs to function are the nervous system and the muscular system.

4. without the raspatory system the body wouldn't receive any oxygen and the brain would slowly die. therefore, without the brain the heart would stop functioning and atrophy etc.
