as we know that

acceleration = 0.50 m/s^2

distance traveled = 125 m

time taken = 20 s

now we will use the equation of kinematics

$d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$125 = v_i* 20 + \frac{1}{2}*0.50*20^2$

$125 = 20*v_i + 100$

$125 - 100 = 20*v_i$

$v_i = 1.25 m/s$

so its initial speed must be 1.25 m/s

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option A (decrease).

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's presumption of unpredictability, it's impossible to ascertain a quantum state viewpoint as well as momentum throughout tandem.
Also, unless we have accurate estimations throughout the situation, we will have a decreased consistency throughout the velocity as well as vice versa though too.

Other given choices are not connected to the given query. Thus the above is the right answer.

An object has a mass of 30 grams and measures 3cmx2cmx1cm. What is the density of the object?

dimulka [17.4K]

The density of the object is the ratio of its mass and volume. From the given dimensions above, we determine the volume through the equation,

V = L x W x H

Substituting,

V = (3 cm)(2 cm)(1 cm) = 6 cm³

From the idea presented above,
d = m/V

Substituting the known values,

d = (30 g)/ (6 cm³) = 5 g/cm³

ANSWER: 5 g/cm³

A swimming pool is 50 ft wide and 100 ft long and its bottom is an inclined plane, the shallow end having a depth of 4 ft and th

Nina [5.8K]

Explanation:

We define force as the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

It means that the object has zero net force when it is in rest state or it when it has no acceleration. However in the case of liquids. just like the above mentioned case, the water is at rest but it is still exerting a pressure on the walls of the swimming pool. That pressure exerted by the liquids in their rest state is known as hydro static force.

Given Data:

Width of the pool = w = 50 ft

length of the pool = l= 100 ft

Depth of the shallow end = h(s) = 4 ft

Depth of the deep end = h(d) = 10 ft.

weight density = ρg = 62.5 lb/ft

Solution:

a) Force on a shallow end:

$F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(4)}{2}(2(0)+4)$

$F = 25000 lb$

b) Force on deep end:

$F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(10)}{2} (2(0)+10)$

$F = 187500 lb$

c) Force on one of the sides:

As it is mentioned in the question that the bottom of the swimming pool is an inclined plane so sum of the forces on the rectangular part and triangular part will give us the force on one of the sides of the pool.

1) Force on the Rectangular part:

$F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{2}(2(x_{1} )+ h)$

$x_{1} = 0\\h_{s} = 4ft$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(100)(2)}{2}(2(0)+4)$

$F =25000lb$

2) Force on the triangular part:

$F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{6} (3x_{1} +2h)$

here

h = h(d) - h(s)

h = 10-4

h = 6ft

$x_{1} = 4ft\\$

$F = \frac{62.5 (100)(6)}{6} (3(4)+2(6))$

$F = 150000 lb$

now add both of these forces,

F = 25000lb + 150000lb

F = 175000lb

d) Force on the bottom:

$F = \frac{pgw\sqrt{l^{2} + ((h_{d}) - h(s)) } (h_{d}+h_{s}) }{2}$

$F = \frac{62.5(50)\sqrt{100^{2}(10-4) } (10+4) }{2}$

$F = 2187937.5 lb$
