Answer:

1. 3 m

2. 27 s

Explanation:

1. "A car traveling at +33 m/s sees a red light and has to stop.  If the driver can accelerate at -5.5 m/s², how far does it travel?"

Given:

v₀ = 33 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -5.5 m/s²

Unknown: Δx

To determine the equation you need, look for which variable you don't have and aren't solving for.  In this case, we aren't given time and aren't solving for time.  So look for an equation that doesn't have t in it.

Equation: v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute and solve:

(0 m/s)² = (33 m/s)² + 2(-5.5 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 3 m

2. "A plane starting from rest at one end of a runway accelerates at 4.8 m/s² for 1800 m.  How long did it take to accelerate?"

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 4.8 m/s²

Δx = 1800 m

Unknown: t

Equation: Δx = v₀ t + ½ a t²

Substitute and solve:

1800 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.8 m/s²) t²

t ≈ 27 s

A student drops a ball off the top of building and records that the ball takes 3.32s to reach the ground (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What i
slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here's what we know because it was given to us:

a = -9.8 m/s/s and

time = 3.32 seconds

Here's what we know because we rock physics:

v₀ = 0 (because the object was held still before it was dropped).

Here's the equation that ties all that info together in a single one-dimensional equation:

v = v₀ + at

Filling in and solving for v:

v = 0 + (-9.8)(3.32) and

v = -33m/s

The velocity is negative because the object is moving downwards and up is positive (but you knew that already too!)

Relationship between frequency, amplitude, wavelength and energy in a transverse wave.
liq [111]
In a transverse wave:
- Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy travelling
- Frequency is the amount of complete waves passing a certain point in one second (measured in hertz, Hz)
- Wavelength is the distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the following wave
- The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particles from their average position (and be measured from the horizontal mid-point of the wave to either the peak or trough)

There isn't always a defined relationship between these features. However, frequency × wavelength = velocity of the wave.

A father is pulling his child on a sled in the snow. According to Newton’s Third Law, the force the father exerts on the sled is
viktelen [127]
That is because there are other forces like the friction forces that apply differently on both of them. The frictional forces applied to the sled are smaller than they are on the father, for example, so it's possible for him to pull it.

PLEASE HELP :)

1) in the opposite direction always
2) drag force is the force that acts in the opposite direction of the applied force (air resistance if a drag force for example)
3) frictions forces between the sole and the ground as the owner walks
4) chalk would glide very easily, so a creaking sound could never be produced, but also one could not write anything on the board!
5) I apologize for my lack of familiarity with the kind of sport but the probable answer is to raise the friction of their hands in order to decrease slipping and get a tighter, more firm grip
