Answer:

The acceleration of the object is 20 meters per second square = 20 m/s^2

Explanation:

Recall that acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided the time it takes for the change. Therefore , if the object accelerates from rest (zero velocity) to 70 m/s , the change in velocity is (70 m/s - 0 m/s = 70 m/s)

which divided by the 3.5 seconds it took for the change, gives:

acceleration = (70 m/s / 3.5 s ) = 20 m/s^2

Answer:

$v'_2=3V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Bowling ball Speed $v_1=5 m/s$

Beach ball Speed $v_2=2 m/s$

Let The Mass be equal i.e

$M_1=M_2$

Therefore

Generally the equation for Velocity of beach ball after collision $v'_2$ is mathematically given by

Since Velocity is Vector Quantity

Therefore

$v'_2=v_1-v_2$

$v'_2=5-2$

$v'_2=3V$

Eating an orange enables a person to perform about 3.5x10^4 J of work. To what height does eating and orange enable a 55kg woman

crimeas [40]

Joules is a unit for work which may decomposed into N.m. Work is a quantity which is a product of force (in this case, the woman's weight) and the distance she has traveled.

W = F x d ; d = W / F

Substituting the given,

d = (3.5 x 10^4 J) / (55 kg x 9.8 m/s²) = 64.94 m

Thus, the woman can climb up to 64.94 meters.

The wavelength of a certain portion of an electromagnetic wave is 314 nm. what is its frequency and classification?

nadezda [96]

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is 9.55 × 1014 Hz and it is classified as ultraviolet.

<h3>What is meant by electromagnetic waves?</h3>

Electromagnetic waves are forms of energy that are invisible and travel throughout the universe. However, some of the effects of this energy are visible. The light that we see is a component of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Electromagnetic waves, or EM waves, are produced by vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, electromagnetic waves are made up of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

<h3>How do you calculate the speed of an electromagnetic wave?</h3>

The wavelength and frequency of any periodic wave are used to calculate its speed. v = λf.

In free space, the speed of any electromagnetic wave is equal to the speed of light, c = 3 $*$ 108 m/s.
