A car speeds up from 13 m/s to 23 m/s in 30 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?
ra1l [238]
Well, <span>v = u + a×t is the equation.</span>
<span>
v: final velocity, which is 23 m/s in this equation.</span>
<span>u: initialo velocity = 13 m/s </span>
<span>a: acceleration = ? </span>
<span>t: time = 30s 
</span>
Your equation would be...

<span>23 = 13 + a×30 </span>
<span>a = (23 - 13) / 30 </span>
<span>a = 1 / 3 </span>
<span>a = 0.333 m/s</span>

Question #1: The visible part of the EM spectrum ranges from about 390 nanometers to about 720 nanometers. A nanometer (nm) is 1
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The blue light has the highest energy.      

Explanation:

Body that is hot enough emits light as consequence of its temperature. For example, an iron bar in contact with fire will start to change colors as the temperature increases until it gets to a blue color. That its know as Wien's displacement law, which establishes that the peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increases.

The same scenario described above can be found in the star, a star with higher temperature will have a blue color and one with lower temperature will have a red color.

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}  (1)

The energy of each wavelength can be determined by means of the following equation:

E = h\nu (2)

but \nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}, therefore:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}  (3)

     

Where h is the planck's constant and \nu is the frequency.

Notice that it is necessary to express the frequency in units of meters for a better representation of the energy.

\nu_{blue} = 400nm . \frac{1x10^{-9}m}{1nm} ⇒ 4x10^{-7}m

\nu_{red} = 720nm . \frac{1x10^{-9}m}{1nm} ⇒ 7.2x10^{-7}m

           

Case for the bluest light:

E = \frac{(6.626x10^{-34}J.s)(3x10^{8}m/s)}{4x10^{-7}m}                                                      

E = 4.96x10^{-19}J                                

                             

Case for the reddest light:    

     

E = \frac{(6.626x10^{-34}J.s)(3x10^{8}m/s)}{7.2x10^{-7}m}                                                        

     

E = 2.76x10^{-19}J                

                           

Equation 3 show that if the wavelength is lower the energy will be greater (inversely proportional).

Hence, according with the result and what was explained above, the blue light has the highest energy.

A 214 kg boat is sinking in the ocean. The force of gravity that draws the boat down is partially offset by the buoyant force of
bixtya [17]

Answer:

3.68 m/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of boat=m=214 kg

F=1310 N

We have to find the acceleration of the boat.

Net force=mg-F=mg-1310

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

F_{net}=214\times 9.8-1310=787.2 N

We know that

Acceleration ,a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}

Using the formula

a=\frac{787.2}{214}=3.68 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration of the boat=3.68 m/s^2

What is the mass of a wooden block with a density 2.0 and a volume of 7.0?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

mass = 14

Explanation:

equation ; p = m / v

2 = m / 7

to get the m, your variable, by itself you would multiply 7 onto the other side of the equation, getting this;

2 * 7 = m

and 2 * 7 = 14, therefore m = 14, so your mass would be 14!

Hope this helps!
