A Thomson's gazelle can reach a speed of 13 m/s in 3.0 s. A lion can reach a speed of 9.5 m/s in 1.0 s. A trout can reach a spee

d of 2.8 m/s in 0.12 s. Which equation from the formula sheet should you use to determine which animal has the largest acceleration?

Answer:

The acceleration of Trout is largest.

Explanation:

Speed of Thomson's gazelle, v = 13 m/s in 3 s. Let us assumed that initial speed is 0. Acceleration is given by :

a_T=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a_T=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a_T=\dfrac{13\ m/s}{3\ s}\\\\a_T=4.34\ m/s^2

Speed of lion is 9.5 m/s in 10 s. Let us assumed that initial speed is 0. Acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a_l=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a_l=\dfrac{9.5\ m/s}{1\ s}\\\\a_l=9.5\ m/s^2

A trout can reach a speed of 2.8 m/s in 0.12 s. Let us assumed that initial speed is 0. Acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a_t=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a_t=\dfrac{2.8\ m/s}{0.12\ s}\\\\a_t=23.34\ m/s^2

It is clear that the acceleration of Thomson's gazelle, lion and trout is 4.34\ m/s^2, 9.5\ m/s^2\ and\ 23.34\ m/s^2 respectively. So, the acceleration of Trout is largest.

In the Balmer series, how many spectral lines have the wavelength greater than 400 nm?
Irina18 [472]

<span>The Balmer series or Balmer lines in atomic physics, is the designation of one of a set of six named series describing the spectral line emissions of the hydrogen atom. The Balmer series is calculated using the Balmer formula, an empirical equation discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885. this is all I know sorry</span>

What affects a material’s resistance?
Keith_Richards [23]
Many things can affect a material's resistance, The type of material, how the material is being held (If its laying flat, being pulled, etc). What the material is used for, and how much material there is. Hope this helps!

How long does it take the lava bomb to reach its maximum height? Answer with three significant digits and the correct unit. A sm
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The time taken to reach the maximum height is 3.20 seconds

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial height from which the volcano erupts the lava bomb = 64.4 m

The initial upward velocity of the lava bomb = 31.4 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The time it takes the lava bomb to reach its maximum height, t, is given by the following kinematic equation as follows;

v = u - g·t

Where;

v = The final velocity  = 0 m/s at maximum height

u = The initial velocity = 31.4 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to reach the maximum height

Substituting the values gives;

0 = 31.4 - 9.8 × t

∴ 31.4 = 9.8 × t

t = 31.4/9.8  ≈ 3.204

The time taken to reach the maximum height rounded to three significant figures = t ≈ 3.20 seconds

What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?
ira [324]

Answer:

λ = hv

If frequency is doubled :

λ = h × 2v

λ = 2hv

Thus wavelength is doubled
