Answer:

-1.03 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S. I unit of acceleration is m/s².

Mathematically, acceleration is expressed as

a = (v-u)/t ........................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t  = time.

Given: u = 13.60 m/s, v = 7.20 m/s t = 6.2 s.

Substituting into equation 2

a = (7.20-13.60)/6.2

a = -6.4/6.2

a = -1.03 m/s²

Note: a is negative because, the hockey puck is decelerating.

Hence the average acceleration = -1.03 m/s²

calculate the spring constant if a weight of 250N is added to a spring which increases in length by 20cm
ZanzabumX [31]
Since, F = k . ∆x

Therefore, k = F / ∆x = 250 / 0.2 = 1250 N/m

(ps: convert 20 cm into 0.2 m)

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

the second time there is a gas between you and the star,

Explanation:

When you observe the star for the first time you do not have a given between you and the star, therefore you observe the emission spectrum of the same that is formed by lines of different intensity and position that indicate the type and percentage of the atoms that make up the star.

 When you observe the same phenomenon for the second time there is a gas between you and the star, this gas absorbs the wavelengths of the star that has the same energies and the atomisms and molecular gas, therefore these lines are not observed by seeing a series of dark bands,

The information obtained from the two spectra is the same, the type of atoms that make up the star

IgorC [24]

Answer:

1000 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of radio waves f = 300,000 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of these waves.

The formula to find wavelength is as follows :

c=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{300000}\\\\\lambda=1000\ m

So, the wavelength of these waves is 1000 m.
