A body has an initial velocity of 12 m s^-1 and is brought to rest over a distance of 45 m. What is the acceleration of the body

?
Physics

Answer:

-1.46 m/s^2

Explanation:

Write down what is given first:

v0 = 12 m/s

vf = 0 m/s

d = 45 m

We are trying to find acceleration, so we will use the equation vf^2 = v0^2 + 2ad

Plug in the values we have:

0^2 = 12^2 + (2 x 45 x a)

a = - 1.46 m/s^2

Note that this acceleration is negative because the body is slowing down, so the acceleration with be negative, because the change in velocity is negative.

A thin metallic spherical shell of radius 0.357 m has a total charge of 5.03 times 10^-6 C placed on it. At the center of the sh
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The electric field is 5.623\times10^{4}\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 0.357 m

Charge Q=5.03\times10^{-6}\ C

Point charge q=4.15\times10^{-6}\ C

Distance = 0.815 m

We need to calculate the total electric field

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\dfrac{q}{r^2}

Where, q = point charge

r = distance

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times4.15\times10^{-6}}{(0.815)^2}

E=5.623\times10^{4}\ N/C

Hence, The electric field is 5.623\times10^{4}\ N/C

Explain why the sound produced by every vibrating body cannot be heard by us ?​
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The human ear is not sensitive to every frequency of sound, rather, our hearing range is from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. This means sound frequencies outside this range are not audible to the human ear, which is why not every sound produced is heard. This is quite a blessing because if we could hear every vibrating body, then our ears would never stop listening: we won't be able to distinguish 'important sounds' from unimportant ones, rendering our ears effectively useless. Perhaps this is why we have a hearing range in the first place: sounds of our friends and our foes lie in 20Hz-20kHz range.

What are the density, specific gravity and mass of the air in a room whose dimensions are 4 m * 6 m * 8 m at 100 kPa and 25 C.
Volgvan

Answer:

Density = 1.1839 kg/m³

Mass = 227.3088 kg

Specific Gravity = 0.00118746 kg/m³

Explanation:

Room dimensions are 4 m, 6 m & 8 m. Thus, volume = 4 × 6 × 8 = 192 m³

Now, from tables, density of air at 25°C is 1.1839 kg/m³

Now formula for density is;

ρ = mass(m)/volume(v)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

1.1839 = m/192

m = 227.3088 kg

Formula for specific gravity of air is;

S.G_air = density of air/density of water

From tables, density of water at 25°C is 997 kg/m³

S.G_air = 1.1839/997 = 0.00118746 kg/m³
