The star runs out of elements to fuse, thereby running out of energy. If the star is big enough, the gravity of the star causes the star to collapse into itself

A person is lying on a diving board 2.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

7.98 m

Explanation:

In the given question,

distance above surface= 2 m

Distance penny from person = 8 m

Since the swimming pool is filled with water and atmosphere has air therefore the refractive index phenomenon will occur.

The refractive index of water: air is 4/3 (1.33).

Using the formula, 4/3 = real depth, apparent depth

real depth= 4/3 x apparent depth

Now, calculating apparent depth = 8 - 2

= 6 m

therefore, real depth = 4/3 x apparent depth

= 1.33 x 6

= 7.98

thus, 7.98 m is the real depth of water.

An ice cream truck is going 25m/s to the East. It accelerates to 45m/s in the same direction over 5s. What is its acceleration?

Naya [18.7K]

Hello!

We can use the kinematic equation:
$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

a = acceleration (m/s²)

vf = final velocity (45 m/s)
vi = initial velocity (25 m/s)

t = time (5 sec)

Plug in the givens:
$a = \frac{45-25}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = \boxed{4 m/s^2}$

If the spring constant is doubled , what value does the period have for a mass on a spring?

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

D. The period would decrease by sqrt (2)

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is given by:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

where

m is the mass

k is the spring constant of the spring

If the spring constant is doubled,

k' = 2k

So the new period will be

$T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{(2k)}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}})=\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}$

So the correct answer is

D. The period would decrease by sqrt (2)

A shopper pushes a 5.32 kg grocery cart

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$\text { acceleration of the cart is } 10.94 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Explanation:

According to “Newton's second law”

“Force” is “mass” times “acceleration”, or F = m× a. This means an object with a larger mass needs a stronger force to be moved along at the same acceleration as an object with a small mass

Force = mass × acceleration

$\text { Acceleration }=\frac{\text { force }}{\text { mass }}$

Given that,

Mass = 5.32 kg

$\text { Force }=12.7 \mathrm{N} \text { forces at }-28.7^{\circ}$

$x=-28.7^{\circ}$

F = 12.7N

Normal force = mg + F sinx,

“m” being the object's "mass",

“g” being the "acceleration of gravity",

“x” being the "angle of the cart"

$\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\text { (g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is } 9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^ 2 \text { on Earth })$
