Suppose you increase your walking speed from 5m/s to 15m/s in a period of 1 s. What is your acceleration?

Acceleration=change in velocity divided by change in time or a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

we are given that it goes from 5m/s to 15m/s
\Delta v=v_f-v_0
in this case, \Delta v=15\frac{m}{s}-5\frac{m}{s}=10\frac{m}{s}

and the change in time or \Delta t is 1 second because this change occurs over a period of 1 second

so the acceleration is a=\frac{10\frac{m}{s}}{1s}=10\frac{m}{s^2}
the acceleration is 10\frac{m}{s^2}

λ = 3.125 m

λ = 2.83 m

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Frequency of radio : 96 MHz and 106 MHz

Required

The wavelength

Solution

Wavelength : from the crest to the crest of the next wave or the trough to the trough

Frequency (f): number of waves in one second

v = λ x f

λ = v : f

Input the value :

f = 96 MHz = 96 x 10⁶ Hz

λ = v : f

λ = 3 x 10⁸ :  96 x 10⁶

λ = 3.125 m

f = 106 MHz = 106 x 10⁶ Hz

λ = v : f

λ = 3 x 10⁸ :  106 x 10⁶

λ = 2.83 m

A mass of 4kg suspended by a light string 2m long and at rest is projected horizontally with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. find the ang
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

19.5°

Explanation:

The energy of the mass must be conserved. The energy is given by:

1) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and h is the hight of the mass.

Let the height at the lowest point of the be h=0, the energy of the mass will be:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The energy when the mass comes to a stop will be:

3) E=mgh

Setting equations 2 and 3 equal and solving for height h will give:

4) h=\frac{v^2}{2g}

The angle ∅ of the string with the vertical with the mass at the highest point will be given by:

5) cos\phi=\frac{l-h}{l}

where l is the lenght of the string.

Combining equations 4 and 5 and solving for ∅:

6) \phi={cos}^{-1}(\frac{l-h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{v^2}{2gl})
