Vf = Vo + at

Vf = 20 m/s
Vo = 50 m/s
a = ? 
t = 15

Therefore

20 = 50 + 15a

20 - 50 = 15a

-30 = 15a

a = -30 / 15

a = -2 m/s²

A string is tied between two posts separated by 2.4 m. When the string is driven by an oscillator at frequency 567 Hz, 5 points
Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       Length (l) = 2.4 m

       Frequency (f) = 567 Hz

Formula to calculate the speed of a transverse wave is as follows.

                  f = \frac{5}{2l} \times v

Putting the gicven values into the above formula as follows.

                  f = \frac{5}{2l} \times v

                 567 Hz = \frac{5}{2 \times 2.4 m} \times v

                      v = 544.32 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the speed (in m/s) of a transverse wave on this string is 544.32 m/s.

Acceleration always involves a change in
Scrat [10]
Velocity. Since velocity consists of a speed and a direction, acceleration is a change in speed, or direction, or both.

Suppose that you're facing a straight current-carrying conductor, and the current is flowing toward you. The lines of magnetic f
alekssr [168]

Answer:c

Explanation:

When the direction of current is towards the observer then the magnetic field around it will be in the form of concentric circles and its direction will be anti-clockwise when viewed from the observer side.

Whenever current is flowing in a current-carrying conductor then the magnetic field is associated with it and direction of the magnetic field is given by right-hand thumb rule according to which if thumb represents the direction of current then wrapping of fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field
