Prof. Kopp is working on an experiment located in an abandoned mine near Duluth, MN. The experiment is located approximately 713

m below the surface. He went to visit the site this last summer and took a harrowing ride in a bumpy, claustrophobic elevator down to the cavern. He timed the ride to last about 90 s. Compute the average speed of the elevator (in mph) as it plummeted to the bottom of the shaft.

Answer:

The average speed of the elevator going down in the abandoned mine is 17.722mph.

Explanation:

If the elevator takes 90 seconds to descend a height of 713m, the average speed of the elevator is:

v_{av}=x_T/t_T=713m/90s=7.922m/s

And if 1m/s is 2.23694mph, the average speed is:

v_{av}=7.922m/s=17.722mph.

A taxi is travelling at 15m/s. Its driver accelerates with acceleration 3m/s^2 for 4 s. What would be the new velocity?..... pls
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

27 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 15 m/s

a = 3 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (3 m/s²) (4 s) + (15 m/s)

v = 27 m/s

Distance measurements based on the speed of light; used for objects in space
Vika [28.1K]

Answer : Yes, distance measurements based on the speed of light used for objects in space.

Explanation :  A light year is measurement  of distance  that light travel in a one year.

In a one year light travels 9460000000000 kilometer.

We know that, speed of light is 3\times10^{8}\ m/s

and  time is 31536000 seconds in 1 year

so, distance = speed of light X time

Now, the light year is 9.4608\times10^{15} meter

Example : The nearest star to earth is about 4.3 light year away.

From the following statements about mechanical waves, identify those that are true for transverse mechanical waves only, those t
Dominik [7]

'In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for transverse waves only.

'In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for longitudinal waves only.

'Many wave motions in nature are a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion' is true for both longitudinal and transverse waves.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Longitudinal waves are those where the direction of propagation of particles are parallel to the medium' particles. While transverse waves propagate perpendicular to the medium' particles.

As wave motions are assumed to be of standing waves which comprises of particles moving parallel as well as perpendicular to the medium, most of the wave motions are composed of longitudinal and transverse motion.

So the option stating the medium' particle moves perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow is true for transverse waves. Similarly, the option stating the medium' particle moves parallel to the direction of flow of energy is true for longitudinal waves only.

And the option stating that wave motions comprises of combination of longitudinal and transverse motion is true for both of them.
