Answer:

a. 6.41 m/s

b. 120.85 m/s^2

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Pebble speed is

As we know that according to the tangential speed,

v = r \times \omega

= \frac{0.68}{2} \times  18.84

= 6.41 m/s

The 18.84 come from

=  2 \times 3.14 \times 3

= 18.84

b. The pebble acceleration is

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

= \frac{6.41^2}{0.34}

= 120.85 m/s^2

We simply applied the above formulas so that the pebble speed and the pebble acceleration could come and the same is to be considered

Answer: 0 km/h

Explanation:
As a vector, the plane's velocity is 100 km/h (west) - 100 km/h (east)  = 0 km/m.
To an observer on the ground, the plane will be standing still.

Over [174]
The protons and electrons are held in place on the x axis.
The proton is at x = -d and the electron is at x = +d. They are released at the same time and the only force that affects movement is the electrostatic force that is applied on both subatomic particles. According to Newton's third law, the force Fpe exerted on protons by the electron is opposite in magnitude and direction to the force Fep exerted on the electron by the proton. That is, Fpe = - Fep. According to Newton's second law, this equation can be written as
                               Mp * ap = -Me * ae
where Mp and Me are the masses, and ap and ae are the accelerations of the proton and the electron, respectively. Since the mass of the electron is much smaller than the mass of the proton, in order for the equation above to hold, the acceleration of the electron at that moment must be considerably larger than the acceleration of the proton at that moment. Since electrons have much greater acceleration than protons, they achieve a faster rate than protons and therefore first reach the origin.

You are looking at a yellow flower growing outside in the sunshine. Why does it look yellow?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

It looks yellow because that is the only (major) color reflected.

Visible spectra is from about 4000-7000 Angstroms (10^-10 m).

Red are longer wavelengths and blue are the shorter wavelengths.

The Sodium doublet (yellow) occurs around 5900 Angstroms.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

a) t = 4.16 s

b) x = 141.51 m

Explanation:

Given

v = 21.5 m/s

x0 = 52.0 m

a = 6.0 m/s²

a) Motorcycle

x = v0*t + (a*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + (6*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + 3t²   <em>(I)</em>

Car

x = x0 + v0*t

x = 52 + 21.5t  <em>(II)</em>

<em />

then we can apply <em>I = II</em>

21.5t + 3t² = 52 + 21.5t

⇒ 3t² = 52

⇒ t = 4.16 s

b) We can use <em>I</em> or <em>II</em>, then

x = 52 + 21.5*(4.16)

⇒ x = 141.51 m
