Calculate the acceleration of a student riding his bicycle in a straight line that speeds up from 4 m/s to 6 m/s in 5 seconds.

1 answer:

7 0

Acceleration is equal to velocity final minus velocity initial divided by time. 6m/s minus 4m/s divided by 5 seconds is 0.4m/s^2.

A2 = 16 m^2

Explanation:

Application of Pascal's law:

F1/A1 = F2/A2

Given:

F1 = 50 N. A1 = 1 m^2

F2 = 800 N A2 = ?

A2 = (F2/F1)A1 = (800 N/50 N)(1 m^2)

= 16 m^2

A rifle of mass 2 kg is horizontally suspended by a pair of strings so that recoil can be measured. The rifle fires a bullet of

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 1m/s

Explanation: according to the law of conservation of linear momentum in an isolated system, the momentum of the gun equals that of the bullet.

Mathematically

Mb×Vb = Mg×Vg

Where Mb = mass of bullet = 1/100 = 0.01 kg

Vb = velocity of bullet = 200 m/s

Mg = mass of gun = 2kg

Vg = recoil velocity of gun =?

0.01×200 = 2×Vg

Vg = 0.01×200/2

Vg = 0.01×100

Vg = 1m/s

Which statement describes the speed of electromagnetic waves?

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Their speed in a vacuum is a constant value.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consits of oscillations of electric field and magnetic field. The oscillations of these fields occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves, so they are transverse wave. Electromagnetic waves, contrary to mechanical waves, do not need a medium to propagate, so they can also travel through a vacuum. In a vacuum, their speed is constant and has always the same value, the speed of light:

$c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$
