An object is moving initially with a velocity of 4.7 m/s . After 3.9 s the object's velocity is -2.1 m/s . What is the object's

average acceleration during this time?
I believe that the vf is -2.1 m/s vi should be 4.7 m/s and the t should be 3.9s but its wrong..? #confused

Answer: The acceleration of the object is 0.67m/s^2 west.

Explanation: Here we are given the initial velocity and final velocity as well as the time taken. Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time, thus the equation becomes.

a=dv/t

a=vf-vi/t

a=-2.1-4.7/3.9

a= 0.66m/s^2 west

Reasons<br> why using mirrors to generate electricity is not a common practice.  
olganol [36]
A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors.  They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.

A physicist's right eye is presbyopic (i.e., farsighted). This eye can see clearly only beyond a distance of 97 cm, which makes
Ivan

Answer:

f = 19,877 cm   and  P = 5D

Explanation:

This is a lens focal length exercise, which must be solved with the optical constructor equation

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length, p is the distance to the object and q is the distance to the image.

In this case the object is placed p = 25 cm from the eye, to be able to see it clearly the image must be at q = 97 cm from the eye

let's calculate

        1 / f = 1/97 + 1/25

        1 / f = 0.05

        f = 19,877 cm

the power of a lens is defined by the inverse of the focal length in meters

         P = 1 / f

         P = 1 / 19,877 10-2

         P = 5D

A sound wave moving with a speed of 1500 m/s is sent from a submarine to the ocean floor. It reflects off the
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the wave, v = 1500 m/s

time of motion of the wave, t = 15 s

The time taken to receive the echo is calculated as;

time \ of \ motion \ (t) = \frac{total \ distance }{speed \ of \ wave} = \frac{2d}{v}  \\\\2d = vt\\\\d = \frac{vt}{2} \\\\d = \frac{1500 \times 15}{2} \\\\d = 11,250 \ m

Therefore, the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m
