Answer:

  • <em>Abbie’s acceleration is (1/2) Zak’s acceleration.</em>

Explanation

1. <u>Data</u>:

a) ω = constant

b) Abbie: r₁ = 1 m

c) Zak: r₂ = 2 m

d) Ac₁ = ? Ac₂

2. <u>Formulae</u>

  • Ac = ω² r

3. <u>Solution</u>:

a) Abbie:

  • Ac₁ = ω² r₁  =  ω² (1m)

b) Zack:

  • Ac₂ = ω² r₂  = ω² (2m)

c) Divide Ac₁ / Ac₂

  • Ac₁ / Ac₂ =  ω² (1m) / [ω² (2m) ] = 1/2

⇒      Ac₁ = (1/2) Ac₂ = Ac₂ / 2 = 0.5 Ac₂

If a car has a mass of 200 kilograms and produces a force of 500 N, how fast will the car accelerate?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

2.5m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car  = 200kg

Force on car  = 500N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the given parameters and find the acceleration;

         500  = 200 x acceleration

           acceleration = 2.5m/s²

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

1.L_s=0.0076\ m

2.L_l=7.62\ m

Explanation:

Given that

f₁= 20 Hz

f₂= 20 KHz

C= 305 m/s

For open pie organ :

L=\dfrac{C}{2f}

<u>Shortest length :</u><u> </u>

L_s=\dfrac{C}{2f_2}

L_s=\dfrac{305}{2\times 20000}

L_s=0.0076\ m

<u>Longest length : </u>

L_l=\dfrac{C}{2f_1}

L_l=\dfrac{305}{2\times 20}

L_l=7.62\ m
