To calculate the acceleration of the truck, we use the equation of motion

$v = u + at$

Here, v is final velocity of the truck, u is initial velocity of truck, a is acceleration of the truck and t is time taken.

Given, u = 6 m/s, v = 14 m/s and t = 4 s.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

$14 \ m/s = 6 \ m/s + a \times 4 \ s \\\\ a = \frac{14 \ m/s - 6 \ m/s}{ 4 \ s } = 2 \ m /s^2$ .

Thus, the truck acceleration is $2 \ m /s^2$

Maru [420]

Amplitude: How dense the medium is in the compression part of the wave, and how empty the rarefied area is.

Frequency: The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.

loudness: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave.

Period: The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.

Pitch: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.

Answer:

4.408 m/s, 4.102 m/s, 4.026 m/s

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The text of the original question states:

A race car moves such that its position fits the relationship

$x=(4.0 m/s)t + (0.85 m/s^3) t^3$

where x is measured in meters and t in seconds. Determine the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 4.7 s, using time intervals of 0.40 s, 0.20 s, and 0.10 s.

We can find the instantanoues velocity of the car at any time t by calculating the derivative of the position, so we find:

$v(t) = x'(t) = 4.0 m/s + 3\cdot (0.85 m/s^2) t^2 = 4.0 m/s + (2.55 m/s^2) t^2$

And now we just need to substitute t=0.40 s, 0.20 s, and 0.10 s to find the corresponding instantaneous velocity:

$v(0.40) = 4.0 + 2.55 (0.40)^2 = 4.408 m/s\\v(0.20) = 4.0 + 2.55 (0.20)^2 = 4.102 m/s\\v(0.10) = 4.0 + 2.55 (0.10)^2 = 4.026 m/s$

It’s red shift and blue shift because This only occurs when the frequency of the wave is made longer or shorter due to the movement of the source relative to the observer
