*please please help* Suppose you are going on a car trip with your family.

Physics
1 answer:
Strike441 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1. To determine the average speed for the first day of the trip, the total distance traveled would have to be acquired and then how long it took to arrive at the final destination, only including the time that was actually traveled and not any time that was accumulated by any rest stops. Once you have this information, you have to divide the distance over time and you have the average speed (mph).

2. To determine the instantaneous speed, you would just have to look at the speedometer, which tells you at what speed the car is traveling at that exact moment.

Explanation:

I took physics 121 and got the same question. This is my answer that i used and my teacher said it was right.

What are two types of diffraction?
tino4ka555 [31]
Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction. Fresnel diffraction is produced when light from a point source meets an obstacle, the waves are spherical and the pattern observed is a fringed image of the object. Fraunhofer diffraction occurs with plane wave-fronts with the object effectively at infinity. The pattern is in a particular direction and is a fringed image of the source.

A paper-filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V0=2.5 V. The dielectric constant of paper is k=3.7 . The capac
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

k =  6.72

Explanation:

K of paper = 3.7

k of air = 1

Given that charge Q on the capacitor is constant because cell is disconnected from the circuit. So

V = Q / C = 2.5

Capacity becomes C / 3.7 in air .

capacity becomes C/3.7 when paper is replaced by air .

V₁ = Q / (C/3.7)

= 3.7 Q/C

3.7 x 2.5

= 9.25 V

In the second case ,

capacitance  due to new unknown dielectric k

= C/3.7 x k

= kC / 3.7 ( Capacitance in air is C/3.7 )

V ( new ) = Q / ( kC/3.7 )

= 3.7 Q/kC

.55 x 2.5 = 3.7 x( 2.5 / k )

k = 3.7 / .55

= 6.72

Sonar is a device that uses reflected sound waves to measure underwater depths. If a sonar signal has a frequency of 288 Hz and
mart [117]

Answer:

5.03 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is given by

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

For the sonar signal in this problem,

f=288 Hz

v=1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s

Substituting into the equation, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s}{288 Hz}=5.03 m

What is the acceleration experienced by a car that takes 10s to reach 27m/s from rest
Lerok [7]

|acceleration|  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in the car's speed = (27 - 0) = 27 m/s
Time for the change  =  10 sec

|acceleration| = (27 m/s) / (10 s)  =  2.7 m/s² .

That's the magnitude of the car's acceleration.
We don't know anything about its direction.
