<span>Since the equation is F = ma the acceleration would change by a factor of 2, since a = v/2. The force would double.</span>

A car undergoing uniform acceleration travels 100 meters from a standing start in a given period of time. If the time were incre

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

d = 1600 m

Explanation:

If car start from rest and accelerates uniformly then the displacement of the car is given as

$d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

now we know

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

now if the same car will accelerate from rest for four times of the previous time interval

then we will have

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(4t)^2$

$d = 16(\frac{1}{2}at^2)$

so the distance will be 16 times more

$d = 1600 m$

Explain the changes in molecular motion of particles as they change from solid to liquid to gas.

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

A rise in temperature increases the kinetic energy and speed of particles; it does not weaken the forces between them. The particles in solids vibrate about fixed positions; even at very low temperatures. Individual particles in liquids and gases have no fixed positions and move chaotically.

On a cold day, the speed of sound in air is 330 m/s. A note with a frequency of 1,320 Hz is played on an instrument. What is the

solmaris [256]

As we know that speed of sound is

$v = 330 m/s$

frequency of sound is

$f= 1320 Hz$

now we know that frequency of sound and speed of sound is related to each other by the following formula

$speed = frequency * wavelength$

$v = \lambda * f$

$330 = 1320 * \lambda$

$\lambda = 0.25 m$

<em>so wavelength of sound is 25 cm or 0.25 m</em>
