Answer:

27.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that at a race car driving event, a staff member notices that the skid marks left by the race car are 9.06 m long. The very experienced staff member knows that the deceleration of a car when skidding is -40.52 m/s2.

Using third equation of motion,

V^2 = U^2 + 2aS

Since the car is decelerating, the final velocity V = 0

Substitute all the parameter into the equation above,

0 = U^2 - 2 * 40.52 * 9.06

U^2 = 734.22

U = \sqrt{734.22}

U = 27.096

U = 27.1 m/s  approximately

Therefore, the staff member can estimate for the original speed of the race car to be 27.1 m/s if it came to a stop during the skid

Your friends sit in a sled in the snow. If you apply a force pf 75 N to them, they have an acceleration of 0.9 m/s ^ 2. What is
Elza [17]

Answer:

Mass of the sled in the snow 83.33 kg.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,  

Force applied to move the sled in the snow (F) = 75N

\text { Acceleration }(a)=0.9 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

We know that

Newton's second law of motion is  

\text { Force }=\text { mass } \times \text { acceleration }

F = ma (Or "force" is equal to "mass" times "acceleration".)

So if we move this around we can isolate mass and get mass

\text { Mass }=\frac{\text { force }}{\text { accelearation }}

\mathrm{M}=\frac{75}{0.9}

M = 83.33 kg

Mass of the sled in the snow <u>83.33 kg.</u>

Two sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the positive x-direction, both having amplitudes of 7.00 cm, a wave number o
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

0.99 m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Amplitude, A = 7.00cm

Wave number, k = 3.00m^-1

Angular Frequency, ω = 2.50Hz

Period = 6.00 s

Phase, ϕ = π/12 rad

Note: All parameters are the same for both waves except the phase.

Wave 1 has a wave function:

y1(x, t) = Asin(kx - ωt)

y1(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t)

Wave 2 has a wave function:

y2(x, t) = Asin(kx - ωt + ϕ)

y2(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)

π is in radians.

When Superposition occurs, the new wave is represented by:

y(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t) + 7sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)

y(x, t) = 7[sin(3x - 2.5t) + sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)]

Using trigonometric function:

sin(a) + sin(b) = 2cos[(a - b)/2]sin[(a + b)/2]

Where a = 3x - 2.5t, b = 3x - 2.5t + π/12

We have that:

y(x, t) = (2*7)[cos(π/24)sin(3x - 2.5t + π/24)]

Therefore, when x = 0.53cm and t = 2s,

y(x, t) = (2*7)[cos(π/24)sin{(3*0.53) - (2.5*2)+ π/24}]

y(x, t) = 14 * 0.9914 * 0.0713

y(x, t) = 0.99 m

The height of the resultant wave is 0.99cm
