A rocket-driven sled running on a straight level track is used to investigate the physiological effects of large accelerations o

n humans. One such sled can attain a speed of 1000 rniles/hr in 1.8 sec starting from rest. (1 mile = 5280 ft) a. Assume the acceleration is constant and compare it to g. (g=9.8 m/s2 = 32 ft/ s2) b. What is the distance traveled in this time?

Answer:

A. a = 814.815 ft/s^2.

B. Distance, S = 320 ft.

Explanation:

Equations of motion

i. vf = vi + a*t

ii. S = vi*t + 1/2*(a*t)

iii. vf^2 = vi^2 + 2a*S

Given:

vi = 0 ft/s

vf = 1000 miles/hr

t = 1.8 s

g = 32 ft/ s2

Converting miles/hr to ft/s,

1 mile = 5280 ft

Also, 1 hr = 60 mins * 60s

= 3600 s

Therefore, 1000 miles/hr * 5280 ft/1 mile * 1 hr/3600 s

= 1466.7 ft/s.

A.

Using the i. Equation of motion,

1466.7 = 0 + a*1.8

a = 814.815 ft/s^2

Comparing a to g,

a = (814.815/32) * g

= 25.46 g

B.

Using the ii. Equation of motion,

S = 1/2 * (814.815) * (1.8)^2

= 1320 ft.

How can I covert these 2,34 meters in decimeters<br>​
zysi [14]

Answer:

If you meant 2.34, 2.34 meters = 23.4 decimeters.

Formula: multiply the value in meters by the conversion factor '10'.

So, 2.34 meters = 2.34 × 10 = 23.4 decimeters.

Hope that helps. x

a sealed bottle of water was taken from a refrigerator and left in a warm kitchen. explain in the terms of its molecules what ha
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sealed bottle serves as an open system for the water molecules, thus heat energy can be exchanged with its surroundings. When the bottle is placed in a warm environment, there would be a gradual increase in the thermal energy of the molecules of water due to a change in the temperature of its surroundings.

Thus, the molecules of water closer to the boundary of the bottle absorbs heat, becomes lighter and changes position. This gradual process continues until all molecules attains an average temperature which equals that of the surroundings of the bottle.

Therefore, both the thermal energy and temperature of the water increases.

In an experiment performed in a space station, a force of 74 N causes an object to have an acceleration equal to 9 m/s2. What is
Stells [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.2 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{74}{9}  \\  = 8.222222...

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.2 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

Calculate the Energy (E) in joules for that wavelength and record it in the table below. Remember that E = HF, where h the Planc
Viefleur [7K]

In that formula for Energy, 'F' is the frequency of the photon.
But <u>Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength)</u>, so we can write the
Energy formula as
                                 E = h c / (wavelength) .

So the energy, in joules, of a photon with that wavelength, is . . .

                                 E = (6.6 x 10⁻³⁴) x (3 x10⁸) / (that wavelength)

                                    = <em>(1.989 x 10⁻²⁵) / (that wavelength, in meters) .</em>

What are two things that are infinite?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Infinity = Never ending

Explanation:

The universe could be infinite, both in terms of space and time, but there is currently no way to test whether it goes on forever or is just very big. The part of the universe we are able to observe is finite, measuring about 46 billion light years in diameter.

The set of natural numbers is an infinite set. This kind of infinity is, by definition, called countable infinity. All sets that can be put into a bijective relation to the natural numbers are said to have this kind of infinity. This is also expressed by saying that the cardinal number of the set is aleph-naught (ℵ0).

Hope this helps. Mark as brainliest!
