Several forces act on a ball. Which of the following statements must be true? The velocity and acceleration could be in any dire

ction. None of these choices. The velocity and acceleration are in the direction of the resultant force. The velocity is in the direction of the resultant force, but the acceleration could be in any direction. The velocity could be in any direction, but the acceleration is in the direction of the resultant force.

Answer:

The velocity could be in any direction, but the acceleration is in the direction of the resultant force.

Explanation:

The ball (assuming that we can treat it as a point mass) must obey Newton's 2nd Law, that states that the acceleration produced by a force, is proportional to the applied force, being the mass the proportionality constant.

As the force is the vector, and the mass an scalar, the acceleration vector must be in the same direction as the force vector.

Velocity, instead, can be in any direction: When an object is speeding up is in the same direction as the acceleration, while if it is slowing down, it has just the opposite.

A train traveling at 25 m/s is blowing its whistle at 440 Hz as it crosses a level crossing. You are waiting at the crossing and
ohaa [14]

Answer:

b) 472HZ, 408HZ

Explanation:

To find the frequencies perceived when the bus approaches and the train departs, you use the Doppler's effect formula for both cases:

f_o=f\frac{v_s+v_o}{v_s-v}\\\\f_o=f'\frac{v_s-v_o}{v_s+v}\\\\

fo: frequency of the source = 440Hz

vs: speed of sound = 343m/s

vo: speed of the observer = 0m/s (at rest)

v: sped of the train

f: frequency perceived when the train leaves us.

f': frequency when the train is getTing closer.

Thus, by doing f and f' the subjects of the formulas and replacing the values of v, vo, vs and fo you obtain:

f=f_o\frac{v_s-v}{v_s+v_o}=(440Hz)\frac{340m/s-25m/s}{340m/s}=408Hz\\\\f'=f_o\frac{v_s+v}{v_s-v_o}=(440Hz)\frac{340m/s+25m/s}{340m/s}=472Hz

hence, the frequencies for before and after tha train has past are

a hammer drops from a height of 8 meters. calculate the speed with which it hits the ground. show work
ioda

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer

u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)

v is the final velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(8)}=12.5 m/s

So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.
